I just finished reading one of the most inspirational and truly useful books I’ve read in a long time – “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek.
If, like many, you’re finding business difficult or you have that nagging feeling that you might have lost focus on what you’re doing… If you’re struggling with how your business life can find a new purpose… If you can’t understand why some people and businesses are successful and others aren’t… then you are going to love this book.
Simon clearly takes us through the idea that it is not WHAT or HOW we do things that make people want to follow us or buy from us, it is WHY we do it that counts – the underlying philosophy and principles that drive us, if you like.
This book is easy to read, entertaining, enlightening and, above all, inspiring. The principles in themselves are simple, yet profound, and affected me on a very deep level that has changed the way I think and feel about my own photography business.
I buy all my books at Amazon and it helps me a little if you do too. But, wherever you choose to get this book from, I urge you to get it NOW – it will change your life.

Today and tomorrow (28th & 29th September 2009) sees an unprecedented and unique opportunity for professional photographers everywhere. Never have I seen such an incredible assemblage of photographic rock stars come together and offer this much business education for FREE!! Yes, I did say FREE. Well, almost at least. If you have 16 hours to spare at your telephone, of course. Personally, I preferred to take the option of buying the MP3 audio files afterwards so that I can listen to them at my leisure and not worry about my phone battery dying or using up all my precious cell phone minutes.
To find out more about this incredible series of presentations, head over to the Joy of Marketing website where you can still register and/or buy the audio downloads. Here is a list of the speakers on this amazing event:
- Edward Zemba
- David Ziser
- Kevin Kubota
- Jen Hillenga
- Kia Bondurant
- Kent & Sarah Smith
- John Hartman
- Sarah Petty
- Tim & Beverly Walden
- Lori Nordstrom
- Rod Evans
- Vicki Taufer
- Dane Sanders
- Allison & Jeff Rodgers
- Marilyn Sholin
- Julie Klaasmeyer
I’m really looking forward to listening in once the MP3s are ready. Check it out today, this is the best photographic business education you can get anywhere.

I encourage anyone working as a photographer to check out the new blog by Mr. Charles J. Lewis. I have been a student of Chuck’s now for about two years and have found his teachings to be solid and based soundly on proven experience. One thing is certain - I would not be in business as a photographer right now if it wasn’t for Chuck, and I know of many others who can say the same.
If you’re looking for information on the latest gear, the newest Photoshop tip or what f-stop to use, Mr. Lewis’ blog may not be for you… but, if you’re interested in the business of being a photographer, marketing & selling then I would advise you to hurry on over to http://www.cjlewis.com/blog/ as fast as your mouse will get you there…
