-: I hadn't even stepped foot in
any sort of business environment.
I was a communication major.
So never took any business classes,
but I basically just took any
free resource that I could in the beginning.
I listened to a bunch of podcasts,
I listened to webinars, I found people who were
doing what I wanted to be doing and
really studied how they were doing it and
how they got to where they were.
So I think it's a lot of, unless you can
turn into a business major right now,
then that's probably a great way to go.
But if that's not an option,
then just investing in all the resources, free or even paid,
you know like I've been to a few workshops and that has
completely transformed the business aspect of things.
So I think it's just really investing in
your education in as many ways as you can.
You know if I was looking for someone for the
more of the artsy side to actually you know be like
associate shooting or for someone for the business side,
for the business side I think I'd wanna see like a
self-starter, someone that really has taken the
initiative to go out and learn what they wanna learn,
and go out and do what they wanna do.
Someone who's just really chased after that experience,
because in this industry and probably in a lot of
any other entrepreneurial type of situations,
that's just what you have to do.
And I think it's very easy to just kinda like
sit back and hope that things are gonna happen,
but you have to like be assertive and
just go get what you want.
So that would probably be the key factor I'd be looking for.
Creative side, I would look at their work and
see, you know, if that was something
that kind of was my style.
And going back to kinda that assertiveness,
is just someone who, you know has their
camera with them all the time.
Who's not just shooting paid events,
but just has their camera with them because
they love photography and they love to
just shoot their life and you know I think you can
always get better, you can always be learning and so
and photography is something that's so easy to just
have with you all the time, that even if your phone,
if you're just taking photos of your everyday life and
show interest in that and not just taking it out
when you have a paid job and then putting it
back in your closet until the next thing comes along.
But someone that really has that
as an integral part of their life.
