Are you part of the working poor???
The other day I received a letter from a fellow
photographer who was selling much of his equipment
Now there is nothing new with that, people are
always selling their equipment. Some of the
reasons include wanting to buy something new,
getting rid of excess, retiring, or going digital.
But this was different – he needed cash!
Business was the pits and he was getting buried
under.
This might be understandable if he was new in the
business, or not very creative, or had never taken
a business course, or never mixed with other
photographers.
This guy had a Masters of Photography in both
Canada and the United States. We'll call him
Pete. He had lectured internationally, and had
been in the business for over 25 years. I use
the term had, because in two short years he
lost his business, his equipment, his great
reputation, his standing in the community, and
ultimately lost his wife. All due to poor choices!
Had I only received his letter earlier and known
his circumstances, I would have been able to do
something for him. But this is the very reason
that my family (my mother and father were
photographers) and friends pleaded with me to
come out of early retirement. Everyday we hear
of stories just like this one, where another
photographer loses all hopes and dreams and in
many cases more. I can help them!!! I can be
your personal assistant too, if you let me.
Do you know how much it breaks my heart when I
read the statistics surrounding photographers,
particularly when, as a group they are in the
second highest position when it comes to going
broke in North America? Do you know how
frustrated I am when I hear of so many talented
photographers who are barely scraping by? They
just don't have the integrated tools they need
to succeed. You wouldn't believe how passionate
I feel about your success and getting you these
tools so that you will succeed, so you will be
able to achieve your goals and you will be able
to live your life with all that it has to offer.
Every day statistics like these comes across my
desk...
Did you know that the US Census Bureau considers
anyone with a family unit of four making less than
$19,000 as living in POVERTY?
“Half of all photographers made between $17,740 and
$34,910 in 2002!?!?
Where did you fit in?
You do the math. 50/50 chance that you or most of
the other photographers are just above the official
poverty line!
The working poor.
Life doesn't have to be this way. One of Pete's
biggest problems, that many of us share, is
believing that we need to do it all on our own. As
independent, creative business people, we need to
have our stamp on everything that we do. If we don't,
we are less of a person, or less of an artist
– poppycock. Another misconception is that it would
cost too much to have personal coaching, when in
actual fact it makes you money. It is impossible to
know it all. Anyone who tells you that they do is
full of it and I don't mean popcorn. We are not born
business geniuses. We may be great artists, or
communicators, or persuaders; but not great business
people – are you ready to learn what it takes and how
to become one?
Let's begin right here right now, putting you in the driver seat to your success
You need to know what it is you want!
Part of a successful strategy is creating for yourself a definition of success, a definition that encompasses what you stand for and believe in, and at the same time, what maintains your integrity. What is it that most people want in life? Why, most people want to be happy, of course. We do things to bring others happiness, and of course, ourselves happiness. Now would be a good time to start thinking about what happiness means to you. What is it going to take for you to be happy?
In a journal write down the answers to the following questions:
1. When is enough, enough? How much money do you want to make a year?
2. How much money do you want to have in your bank account one year from today?
3. How much money do you want in your bank account five years from now?
4. What do you want your ideal weight to be? (Yes this is important because if you feel great, you will act great, and subsequently you will achieve greatly.)
5. How many hours a week do you want to work?
6. How many weeks of holidays will you take this year?
7. What do you need to do, to recharge your batteries, mentally, spiritually, and physically?
8. What extra knowledge do you need to learn to bring you closer to successright now?
9. After determining these values, create your own definition of success.
10. Are you really, really committed to your success?
If you are then read on and get the help to make it happen.
That's where I come in, Chuck Groot Business Coaching; I'm a photographer/entrepreneur too, a successful
one. I built 3 multi-million dollar companies – and
I will show you, step by step, how to plan, market
and systemize your studio in a way that's guaranteed
to help you gain more business, create more personal
wealth and give you more free time than you ever had
before – and have fun at it! My personal motto is “If
it isn't fun, it isn't worth doing. Oh yes, by the way,
I did say “guaranteed”, I'll say more on that later.
I know there are hundreds, maybe thousands of books,
programs or courses out there to help you grow your
business or build your wealth. It's easy to get lost
in all the ads, hype and nonsense that are out there.
I've invested thousands of dollars attending many of
them myself and thought there has to be an easier way!
Well there is...I decided to weed through all of them
for you and give you only the best. I've done the
homework, I've personally talked to all of the experts
and I've selected only the cream of the crop, the best
of the best, and condensed them into my Tele-seminar
and Coaching Series. Using these, you will get the
skills and business ability that you need to get the
best reputation and attract the business to support
you in the way you deserve.
