Thank you for this great summary! Motivates me to become more serious about it. I do have a good mindset about the rules, business and my work. But i need to get more involved with the people around me. I know that I am too much in the background because i want to stay professional and dont want to come over as a needy photographer who wants to get contacts. If you feel like telling (dm) me your instagram account i would like to see your work!
Thanks for your inside! It gives me a perspective on what is ahead of me.
