Choking out your customers rarely solves problem. No matter how much better you may think you may feel afterwards.
And I am a professional after all, but…
I was at an event and this photographer dude wanted a caricature of his wife from a photo. He was annoyingly sifting thru photos on his high dollar camera. He showed me about 40 photos of her all while telling me every detail of her that he thought I needed.
My patience was thinner Calista Flockhart. I was SO ready to slap the camera out of his hand and make my way to a bar.
I didn’t though. There was something about this guy that kept me captivated.
What made Photo Dude annoying was also what made him magnetic. It was the love and passion he had for his wife. There was literally NO wonder as to why him and his wife had been married for 20+ years.
I have seen this a lot over my 11 years of drawing live. Men who deeply love their significant others is absolutely beautiful to me. And it’s a lot different than how men in shorter relationships view their partners.
I’ve broken it down to this…
My wife’s beauty is the lens that I see beauty through. When beauty doesn’t start with my wife I could easily think…
Shouldn’t she be more thin?
More blonde?
More pretty?
More of something she’s not instead of appreciating her for who she is and the fact that her imperfections are perfect for me.
The same is true with your and business. You look at the work that YOU wanna do. And from that lens, you figure out the best ways to grow it. This approach is much better than focusing on the media and types of marketing and promotion FIRST.
I’m going to go deep on this in my program that I’ll be unveiling in a few days. Grow yourself and your biz by focusing on YOUR WORK and your personality.
The only lens that matters.
