Do you ever log into Instagram only to be immediately overwhelmed by the sheer volume of advice? The must do’s and the tips telling you what you need to do, what you did wrong, and where you’re failing—that you immediately want to log out and rethink your entire life? The internet can make us feel like we’re failing at everything … whether it’s our diet, our makeup routine, our sleep schedule, or our work habits. For me personally, sometimes I feel like I need to dive into everything all at once, so I can “fix myself” before I start the thing I’m really excited about. And I’ve noticed when this happens, I get stuck in a procrastination cycle. The kind of procrastinating you do without realizing it, actually. And I bet you do it sometimes too. Maybe for you, it looks like… …spending way too much time editing a shoot to be “perfect” ,but then you never end up sharing it. …saying you can’t reach out to 'X' client until you have a nicer camera or a better portfolio. …searching for the perfect solution to every problem before it ever comes. …waiting to start your business until you finally feel “ready”. Yup. I’ve been there, too. It can be so hard to know what to focus on when you’re first starting your photography business, and shiny object syndrome is a very real thing. We can get so distracted by the things we think we “NEED” to do, that we end up spending all of our time focusing on the things that don’t really matter. In today’s episode, I’m dishing up the real talk because I’d bet the things you’re currently hyper focused on might be distracting you from starting something really, really beautiful. Listen now to find out the things you can stop focusing on, so you can spend your precious time focusing on what really matters.  THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PATH REOPENS MARCH 1ST 2023, SIGN UP FOR THE WAITLIST HERE: https://www.horizonfound.com/path GRAB OUR FREE MANUAL MODE CHEAT SHEET: https://resources.horizonfound.com FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/horizonfound
