I've been focused lately when it comes to accomplishing my dreams of becoming a renowned photographer. In January I started reading “Bob Scott's 52 Key Business Growth Concepts” – the idea is that each week I read one concept and install it into my photography business. In some weeks the ...
A few summers ago I started watching the Tour de France. Back then, I didn’t even realize how much I didn’t know about pro cycling. It looked like a bunch of riders who were out to cross the finish line first. It looked haphazard and unorganized, and quite frankly, I didn't get it. Aft ...
