I haven’t blogged in a while because so much has been going on. I decided I am sick and tired of waiting for people to come to me because it wasn’t working! I enrolled back in school to finish my Associate’s degree. I am only about 10 classes away from obtaining that degree. I also started applying for jobs to get back into my field of Executive Administrator. I would rather focus my attention on my photography and stay at home with my daughter, but our financial issues are not getting any better. So, I figured if I can get my Associate’s this will help me land a job that has a steady income. A steady income means I can get back into my home, pay off bills, get out of debt and buy some more of the photography equipment I need to fulfill my dreams.
If you asked me where I want to be in 5 years from now I would say I would love to be in a home on some land. On that land I would like to have a small studio that isn’t attached to the house. I would love to build the landscape around my home to make different scenes that I would love to shoot at. For instance: a bridge over a pond, a big water fountain attached to this pond, a beautiful garden, some trees to make a faux wooded area ….you get the idea. During the days I am not using my studio, I would rent it out to other photographers that were in need of it. I would have all of my equipment there for them to use and they would pay a flat rate for a few hours. In order to get this dream going I need some serious cash! So, I am making the move to go back to school and work to fulfill this dream. I am not quitting my photography or shutting down the business. I am still going to do photo shoots and try to build my cliental up. I have also enrolled at NYIP to take some photography courses and those are all go at your own pace. I know my days are about to be loaded up and I will be overwhelmed, over tired and just plain hectic. This is just something I need to do to get me to the end point I want and need.
Which brings me to being a Type A personality. I was reading Jasmine’s blog tonight and she had listed the character traits of Type A and Type B personalities. As I read them to Craig to see what is input was, I only had to read the first three and he was like YEP that is you! I was a bit stunned because I didn’t really think I fit into either one of them; somehow this became the discussion of the night. Now everyone is coming up with examples of how I am Type A. I am going to take this as a positive thing and use it to my advantage: Dream Big or Go Home….or in my case back to your mom’s garage.
I am ready to take control over my own life and live to see my dreams come true. My sticky on my lap top says "she believed she could so she did"!
