Always looking for the winning photo.
So what does it take to travel full time?
To leave the 9 to 5 behind and just get on a plane and go.
A trust fund? A deep pocket? A lucky chance? A good job? Winning money?
No. It takes a desire to want to do it, more than anything else.
As you well know, I’m a photographer. But with any business and especially with today’s economic changes,
that have, and still with disbelief, gone as far as shutting the World down for a Global pandemic,
it has proved that nothing is certain and anything could happen at any time.
It took me two jobs to realise my goal. And as much as photography was always at the forefront, it took hard graft to make up the extra.
Much of social media portrays any easy lifestyle. A flip side of life we all enjoy.
One way or another though, it’s hard work and commitment that will allow you to achieve your goals.
That being said, work smart with it too.
Slogging away for someone elses pocket and not having anything to show for it yourself, will not see you with any rewards for your efforts either.
(You’ll be able to have those classic conversations though of how many hours you worked, what time you got home etc and why you shouldn’t complain – Because everyone else is doing it).
But if you want to change that…
Conserve, save, go without, say no to a night out, avoid subscriptions.
Reduce your outgoings, car payments, downsize your life, and so on…
Block out the temptations, even isolate yourself from them and you will probably reach your goal quicker than you imagined!
