Years ago when I was in college getting my bachelors's degree in Apparel Design, I learned of the dark side of that industry. Many of you probably know that the clothing industry has alot of problems, the main one being child labor and work conditions. The learning about life and its dark side unfortunately does not go away. I have since learned and relearned this lesson over and over. In all situations there are good and bad points and in all industries, issues that are hard to grasp.
Being a photographer or embarking on any small business where dealing with people directly and money, one has to be aware of alot of things. I also have to be aware of my equipment and the value it holds. Sometimes when working with people we don't quite know what we are dealing with truth be told. At some point in our business dealing we forge on, all the while learning about out clients as we go. Sometimes we get subtle messages and they are to be listened to. These messages come from a different place within us and are hard to decipher at first. We feel a bit hesitant but are not sure why. As a business woman, I seek to stay safe and enjoy my work as a photographer. But when that feeling arose, I decided to seek understanding of the message within. Google to the rescue! I learned a variety of things about a client and while I wish this person well, I may not be able to do all of the work as planned. And while there is more to the story that I may not know, I, at some point have to cut the ties with the client and keep my feet moving.
Another lesson in listening to the small voice within!
Thanks for taking the time!
