Sunday Morning Reflections: It takes a village...

9/14/2014

This has been a pretty remarkable week for business, old friendships and family and I've honestly got nothing earth-shaking to write about, except to wish all of you a remarkable Sunday and quality time with people you love!

Most important of all is to cherish your friendships, especially that inner circle of your network. For me, that crew has been doing some unbelievable things and new projects are fast becoming new milestones in my career.

I don't usually quote Hillary Clinton, but remember her comment about it takes a village? Well, it's one of those Sundays where I'm so grateful for so many people in my life and hope you have those kind of relationships too. Nothing you'll every accomplish will be a solo act...there are always special people helping you through the process.

Make it a great day 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.

Help is just a click away. Check out the previews for 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.
