Sunday Morning Reflections: Bob Dylan and Success

9/1/2013

Yesterday's post sparked some comments and got a few of you thinking about the journey you're on. Well, I wanted to stay with the same theme, perfect for a Sunday morning.

If you love doing something, then like Nike's slogan, just do it! It couldn't be more simple to understand and of all people Bob Dylan might have said it best:

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

For me it needs a slight modification..."does what he loves to do."

Sunday Morning Reflections are simply just that - a chance for me to make a point in as few words as possible! It's a long weekend and most of you are off tomorrow. Enjoy your family, friends and just kick back for the rest of the weekend. Happy Sunday, everybody!

Need Help With Pricing?

It's not rocket science and profit isn't a dirty word. Bad pricing is one of the most critical mistakes artists make.

Just click on the image above to find out about Skip's Lynda.com series on "Starting a Photography Business" and "Pricing."

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017. Click on the link above and you can scroll through all of the episodes to date.
