Starting a photography business is easy since most photographers are simply hobbyists who love the creative side of taking amazing photos.
However, where many photographers lose their footing in the market is when they are not able to grow a client base to support their passion. Let's face it, photography is a very creative craft that demands upfront costs (camera, gear, lighting, etc.) and requires you to spend time building a reputation in your community, so you should do everything that you can to grow your photography business with great marketing strategies. You will need to work hard if you want to be seen as the go-to photography expert for a given niche and drive more paying customers to your services.
You can use a number of free small business marketing tools to help you save time and energy each day. There are specific tools to help small business owners save up to 9 hours each week, so you can definitely see the benefits that come from using the best tools before jumping into marketing and advertising your small business.
If you are a new photographer, or an experienced expert looking for ways to grow your presence and land more photography jobs then you should focus on the best ways to drive qualified traffic to your site. We have developed 5 of the best photography marketing ideas, based on local HVAC marketing ideas, that you can use today to start building your business brand and drive more clients to your site!
1. Optimize Local SEO & Google My Business
In this internet-dominated age of ours, most people rely on Google whenever they need an answer to a question. It started with informational queries, but now Google has become an essential part of the process that consumers use to find products and services that are in their area. You can use Local SEO tactics to drive more business to your site, and you can also use Google My Business as a powerful way to build our brand in your local community and market.
Google My Business, which is often shortened to GMB, is an excellent way for small businesses to advertise themselves online without having to spend too much. Seeing as most photographers depend on local clients, getting their GMB listing optimized is an absolute must.
Whenever someone goes to Google to search for a local photographer, you can claim a prominent position on the Search Engine Results Page (SERPs) with a GMB listing.
If you manage to optimize your GMB listing effectively, whenever a client searches for "photographers in my area" they'll be greeted by your website, email address, and other invaluable information. It's crazy to think how much visibility you can gain without paying a single cent.
Customers can also leave reviews on your GMB listing which will serve as social proof later down the road. Having your customers leave reviews on your GMB page is one of the best ways to boost the position of your listing and grow your influence through social proof!
2. Make Your Website Personal
One of the most valuable weapons of any photographer is not only their camera but also their portfolio website. Your portfolio website makes it easy for anyone to look at your work, regardless of where they might in this wet planet of ours. Since the competition for photographers is growing, you can prove your skills and value before clients even hire you by showcasing the best work on your site. This is a great way to grow social proof and build your reputation as the go-to photography for the needs of your clients.
Whenever you're building a portfolio website, there are a few things that you have to remember if you hope to be successful. The first thing to bear in mind is that you have to establish equal representation for your work and your services. You should post the best pictures that highlight your skills and organize those photos based on the needs of your customers. Before building a website you should make sure that you understand how to write great copywriting for your business website so you can drive qualified traffic to your site and convert your customers.
Showcase all your best photos, but also clearly explain how your service works. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? You can use the portfolio of your website as a quick and easy way to communicate with your clients and build a reputation before you even talk about an upcoming photo shoot! If you already have a website then you should consider conducting a comprehensive website audit to find ways to improve the structure and optimizations of the site.
Another critical thing to keep in mind while building out your site is that it needs to serve as a central hub for all your marketing efforts. There are many ways for photographers to showcase their work and try to generate leads. This includes places like Flickr, Pexels, Shutterstock, and countless other platforms. Your website should serve as the glue that holds all your different channels together.
Whenever you're talking to a prospect, be sure to lead them toward your website. You can build a portfolio practically anywhere on the web, but your site is one place that you'll always have total control over.
3. Focus On Website Speed
Most business owners strive to offer a positive customer experience regardless of which niche or industry they're in. When talking about customer experience in the context of your website, it's imperative that you factor in the load speed.
The portfolio websites of photographers are often filled with high-quality images. Be sure to compress all your images so that the site loads fast enough to satisfy any leads and prospects. Think about it, what do you do when you navigate to a website that takes forever to load?
If you're like most people, you'll likely get frustrated, close the tab, and take your business elsewhere. The same applies to any prospect that might be looking to hire a photographer. Let's face it, humans have short attention spans. This is especially true for people on their mobile phones, and you should work to always improve the speed of your site if you want your photography business to benefit from a high-quality and professional looking website. All of these aspects are connected to optimizing your photography website for mobile users, and this is part of your overall marketing strategy.
Your next potential client isn't going to wait until the website loads patiently, they want to get the information they need right now. The longer they wait, the lower your chances of getting a new client.
Google conducted a study in 2012 showing that most users that browsed websites on their smartphone were willing to wait for around five seconds before they decided to move on and close the tab. It's likely that the attention span has only decreased since then.
4. Showcase Photos On Photo Sharing Sites
Being a photographer in this day and age is far more comfortable than it would have been at any other point in history. With the power of the internet, sharing photos online has become a breeze. You might be reluctant to post your images at first. Here are a list of the 8 best photo sharing sites that you can use for your photography business:
The main concern that most beginner photographers fear is the possibility of someone stealing your work. That said, there are lots of reasons why you should be putting your photographs on the web for everyone to see.
When you make your work easy to access, there's a higher chance that an author or publisher will stumble upon it, take an interest, and then contact you.
Many photographers have reported success in using platforms like Flickr to find new clients. Some get their photos published on the covers of books or used in marketing material of large companies.
One photographer, Rosie Hardy, ended up getting her photo used on the cover of a Maroon 5 album after she posted it on Flickr. Could you imagine the exposure these photographers get with the mainstream exposure they receive? All because they chose to share their images with the public and reap the rewards of their great work!
Sharing your work online doesn't just help you find new clients, it also makes it easier for you to grow as an artist seeing as people will be able to offer honest feedback.
5. Engage On Social Media
It's often a significant investment for someone when they hire a photographer. That being the case, it's essential that you establish a relationship with your prospect to help you close the deal.
Building a strong brand for your photography business is a must, whether you're looking to reach a Silicon Valley corporation or a small flower shop. No matter who your target audience is, it is vital that you know how to build a relationship online that will keep your customers looking for you and build trust from the first steps to secure a sale.
When you build a social media strategy you should also look for ways to incorporate User Generated Content (UGC) for your pages. Not only does this approach help your organization generate great content, it also helps you connect with your customers on a deeper level.
If you are building your business with a limited budget then you should focus on how to build traffic to your site through organic social media strategies. However, you can use paid social media photography marketing strategies if you have the budget and knowledge. Be careful though- Facebook, Google, and other channels could burn through lots of cash so be careful before you jump into this option.
When it comes to engaging, there's really no better way to do it in today's world than to utilize the power of social media marketing. When you use social platforms, you'll be able to not only increase your visibility but also engage with your customers.
There are over three billion social media users across the globe (nearly half of the total population) which means you'll get an insane level of exposure without spending a single cent. Platforms like Pinterest or Instagram can help you build interest in your work.
No one can hire you to do work for them if they haven't even discovered you yet, so becoming visible to a large number of people is paramount if you want to succeed as a photographer. Social media marketing is a low-effort, high-yield proposition that gives you the benefits of traditional advertising at a fraction of the price.

The tribe Smilacoideae, shrubby climbers with net-veined leaves and small unisexual flowers, bears much the same relationship to the order as a whole as does the order Dioscoreaceae, which have a similar habit, but flowers with am inferior ovary, to the Amaryllidaceae.
The genus is a member of the natural order Smiliaceae, and constitutes the tribe Smilacoidide, characterized by its climbing habit, net-veined leaves and dioecious flowers.
Smilacoideae are climbing shrubs with broad net-veined leaves and small dioecious flowers in umbels springing from the leaf-axils; the fruit is a berry.

Structurally the Neuroptera are distinguished by elongate feelers, a large, free prothorax, a labium with the inner lobes of the second maxillae fused together to form a median ligula, membranous, net-veined wings without hairy covering, those of the two pairs being usually alike, the absence of abdominal cerci, and the presence of six or eight Malpighian tubes.
Membranous, net-veined wings, those of the two pairs closely alike.
They are large perennial climbers growing from short thick underground stems, from which rise numerous semi-woody flexuous angular stems, bearing large alternate stalked long-persistent and prominently net-veined leaves, from the base of which spring the tendrils which support the plant.
The Myrmeleonidae are large insects with short clubbed feelers on their prominent heads, and two pairs of closely similar net-veined wings, with regular oblong areolets at the tips.
As first used by Linnaeus (1735) it included all insects with mandibulate jaws and two pairs of net-veined wings - dragon-flies, May-flies, stone-flies, lacewing-flies and caddis-flies - and it has been employed in the same wide sense by D.

The intention was expressed Wednesday when the Angolan Trade minister, Joffre Van-Dúnem Júnior, met with a delegation of US Department of Commerce for International Business, led by Under-secretary Gilbert Kaplan in Maputo, Mozambique.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 12th US-Africa Business Summit.
The US delegation suggested the holding of a seminar in Angola, aimed at allowing them to learn better the ongoing changes and the current legislation.
The seminar could take place as soon as the 3rd meeting of the TIFA - Trade and Investment Agreement between Angola and the US takes place, which had been scheduled for last May, is held.
The meeting discussed topics such as cooperation in institutional support with different Angolan institutions, the issuance of some notifications to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the Support Programme for Production, Diversification of Exports and Substitution of Imports.
According to Angolan minister, the US side suggested a possible preferential agreement. This issue may be discussed taking into account the regional commitments assumed by Angola, such as the adhesion to the SADC and continental free trade zone.
The US businesspeople also expressed the interest in providing different variety seeds to the country.
Angolan Trade minister is Maputo, Mozambique, to attend the 12th US-Africa Business Summit, going until Friday, June 21, on behalf of the President João Lourenço.

Mom & dad,
|Hanging out on the Backbone Trail
Well the final week of camp was amazing!! It was suppose to be a low mileage taper going into the big camp race off this Saturday. There looks to be a big turn-out in the race. The weather updated to some possible rain and temps near 80F. What can you say when you run for hours and hours the weather will always change by the time you finish. So I will make the most of it.
Sunday kicked of the week with some backbone trail running. Will Rogers to the hub (16 miles round trip). Tiffany held back a bit because she was running Twin Peaks later in the day. Here we are at the hub.
Monday headed to Malibu to watch the sunset with The One. Ran Point Mugu up as the sun set then then down in total darkness (6 miles round trip). The weather was ideal on the run up and the stars were incredible on the return down. The best two trails in California are the Ray Miller out and the Ray Miller back.
|Sunset on the Ray Miller
Tuesday went bigger and tougher on part of AC 100 course.
We went from Chantry Flats up to Mt. Wilson (14 miles round trip). I was told there would be ice cream at the top. upon arriving at the top we noticed they were closed for the day. The run back down was quick and exciting!
|Post run fun at Dodger Stadium. Giants won the game but still had a great time!
Back in my cabin gathering up my race gear for the race tomorrow. The President, Majic, Milkman, Green Hornet and Tumbleweed can't make it, but all ran it in the past. They have some ambitious expectations for me. Going to do my best and try to hold back on the speed on the first loop of 25 miles.Really want to run a strong race. Well I should be able to be tracked on the North Country 50 mile site.
Take care and love you

Is it safe to visit Harlem? Or should I avoid going there at all? I will be visiting New York at the end of the month. Thx
6 Answers
Is there anything in particular you want to see there? about 9 years agoAnswered by AmandaNYC via Ask a Nomad iPad app
it's no less safe than other parts of Manhattan. The tourist areas are generally very safe. The subway stations are patrolled by uniformed police. As in any part of any city, certain streets can get dangerous after dark, so stick to the bright lights.
The notion that north of 125th street is dangerous is a hangover from the bad old days. NYC is NOT the hotbed of crime it once was.
There are some great walking tours and guided tours of Harlem that are popular with visitors and New Yorkers alike. They're pretty easy to find if you search NY tourism sites.

Features of the Archangles slot machine: Salvation
We are not facing any slot machine, we are facing one of the big ones in many ways. It is the excessive struggle between good and evil in a slot machine of epic proportions, both graphically and loudly, without forgetting the impressive amount of extras and bonuses and its 100 possible prize lines.
We enter the subject starting with the graphic characteristics of Archangels Salvation. A superlative machine as far as image is concerned. Its animations will not leave you indifferent and its soundtrack is more like a movie than a slot machine. You can play this machine from any mobile device, such as tablets or smartphones, or from any desktop or laptop.
The dynamics of the game are different from other machines and, as you will see, it is full of options that give the game high doses of emotion. As we have commented, this machine has 100 prize lines and consists of six rollers. You can play by placing bets ranging from a minimum of 0.40 credits to 200 credits. The figures on this machine are divided into three groups:
Low prize figures
They are the 4 suits of the French cards: pica, clover, heart and rhombus and their prizes range from 2x the value of the bet to 30x the value of the bet.
Middle Prize Figures
There are four other figures whose prizes range from 3x to 50x when 6 of them appear.
High Prize Figures
They are the faces of the angel and the archangel and appear occupying up to 6 squares in each roller. Prizes range from a minimum of 6x per bet when 3 appear on the same winning line, up to 150x when 6 appear.
Special functions, bonuses and extras
This game surprises with the amount of additional functions. We will summarize them below
Wild Wildcards
The Wild symbol is a 2 × 2 figure that replaces all symbols in a possible winning line, except Scatter symbols.
Hot zones
In the game, in addition, there are two 'hot' zones. One at the bottom – hell – and one at the top – heaven -, but these are only activated when the wild symbols appear on them. During the free spins round the hot zones are extended to 3 lines.
Hot Zone: Heaven
The sky is one of the hot zones that is activated when a Wild figure falls on it. If a Wild figure falls partially on the Sky, two other Wild symbols are generated. If you do it completely, 4 Wild symbols are also generated.
Hot Zone: Hell
This hot zone is activated in the same way as the Sky. In this case, when a Wild figure falls partially or totally, 8 or 16 individual Wild symbols (1 × 1) can be generated.
If a 1 × 1 or 2 × 2 Wild symbol falls on one of the two hot zones, the hot zone where it has fallen will be reactivated. Either 1 or 4 symbols can be generated in the hot zone.
Free Spins
The Scatter symbols appear as an S. With 3 or more Scatter symbols, the free spins round is activated:
- 3 Scatter = 10 free spins
- 4 Scatter = 15 free spins
- 5 Scatter = 20 free spins
- 6 Scatter = 25 free spins
Our verdict
The review of Archangels: Salvation leaves no doubt, this is a great slot machine full of everything the most demanding players expect. We have not been impressed by the dynamics, history, graphics, soundtrack and extras, which in our opinion make it one of the most exciting of how many we have been able to analyze.

Although my experiences with travel have only just begun, I feel like I have learned so much more about myself than most others ever get to. I love looking back on my pictures and posts from when I was abroad, and reminiscing on my thoughts and feelings during those moments. Everything I've come across, every person I've met, every place I've been has held meaning to me and has helped me grow and improve as a human.
We all know that a fancy college education does not give you street smart. We all know that life's ups and downs are the true teachers. But something about being alone, in a foreign country, with lots of time to think and reflect, has etched some ideas in my mind that will always be a part of me.
Experiences are worth much, much more than material things.
We live in a world surrounded by fancy, shiny things. We feel the need to always keep up with the latest fashion trends, latest technology, etc. But for me, rather than material items, I've always felt that my money should be spent otherwise- mainly for trips and traveling. I've never been much of a materialistic person, so this concept is probably harder to grasp for some people. I'm also young, and didn't grow up with a super rich family that spoiled the crap out of me.
When I traveled to Southeast Asia this past summer, I took nothing but a 50L backpack with me. (Speaking of material things- I splurged big $$ on the backpack, lol!).. I was so excited to get it in the mail, and then I was astounded as to the little amount of clothes I could fit in it. Even rolled up all perfectly and stuffed in there, there was no way I could fit all my nice, name brand workout clothes in there. I literally had to pick a week's worth of workout clothes and a week's worth of tank tops and shorts, some socks, sandals, bathroom stuff, and that's it!
After about a few weeks of wearing the same clothes, doing laundry every week, and switching up the shirt and shorts combo the best I could, I realized that nobody around me cared what I was wearing. I didn't even care what I was wearing. I was meeting so many people, doing so many fun things (and also sweating my f*cking ass off every second of everyday- my clothes were almost always dirty instantly). I became aware that those material things meant nothing there. I was literally the happiest I've ever been with nothing on me except a backpack full of my belongings. When you realize something like that, your priorities begin to change.
Appreciation is everything.
Appreciation is a tricky little thing. Even if you consider yourself an appreciative and grateful person, you almost always don't appreciate a moment until it's gone. There's still times when I can remember something from my travels so vividly and I almost start to cry, because I wish I could go back to that very moment so I could appreciate it just a little bit more. You have to sit back and revel at every sunset, every insane view, every piece of scenery that looks like nothing like you've ever seen before.
I'm also extremely appreciative of the very opportunities I have to travel. I live in a country that allows me to freely travel, my family and my friends are incredibly supportive, I'm financially stable enough to travel, and I can take off of work to travel. I feel very blessed because of this.
When traveling to certain areas, you also become very appreciative of the comforts of your own life. After spending so much time in Asia, I will never take toilet paper, a working toilet, and our plumbing system for granted again. Over there, you can't just drink water out of the tap. Every time you drink water, you have to buy a bottle. It's little things like this that we often take for granted. Don't.
You're never ready.
Was I ready to book a one way ticket to Thailand? Hell no. I was so scared. I had mixed feelings about traveling alone but I didn't want to wait around for anyone else or wait until I felt "ready." Because I knew that would be never. This far in my life, it's the best decision I ever made.
Most people spend their lives pushing things off until they're "ready." Well let me be the one to break it you, you're never going to be ready. For anything in life that you want to do… for every reason you want to do it, there will be five reasons not to. There will always be people in your ear telling you you're crazy, you're wrong, or you need to wait.
The timing is almost never perfect. But if you get in the cycle of thinking you want to do something then backing out, you'll stay stuck in the cycle forever. You have to be proactive about your own life. Forgetting the naysayers, being brave, growing some balls, going out on a limb… the time to do it is now. Because in reality, life is short. You can't spend it waiting.
You are never really alone.
Anyone who knows me, knows that my biggest fear before my big trip was that I wasn't going to make any friends. All my friends laughed at me when I would say this, and now looking back on it, I laugh at it too. During my travels I have met so many wonderful people, from all over the world, it's mind-boggling. Some will be friends for life, some just acquaintances. If you guys are reading this- thank you for the memories, I love you!!!
I never, ever felt lonely. Even when I was alone. Sometimes it was super nice to be alone, unwind, and reflect. But my point really is, you are never alone. There is so much out there. So many people feeling just like you are, waiting to find you. The universe always puts you on the path to meet those who are meant to be in your life.
Everything changes, always.
Speaking of making friends… so every time I would meet some amazing people while traveling, I would get super sad when my time with them was over. When I was off to the next location, I had to say bye, and start all over again… it sucked! But then I would arrive in a new place and meet a whole new batch of awesome people. I had been so scared of that change, of starting over again, but I had learned to adapt to it and overcome it.
This is so, so important in all aspects of traveling. Situations can become less than ideal. Shit can go wrong. The idea you had pictured in your head may be way off. But over time you can teach yourself how to deal with these types of things.
The sooner you can come to terms with this change, the better. People change, circumstances change, things change. If you can learn to let go of things you can't control, roll with the punches, and stop trying to control the behavior of others… the sooner you can live a more carefree, happy and fulfilled life.

Yesterday's blog about a found love note was full of intrigue. The obviously young man competing for the love of his wife with the rest of life brought back reminders of being a young man and in love. I was one of the most competitive personalities you could ever meet, racing at a fairly high level in track and cross country, yet I did not know or think one might have to compete in love.
As a result, it was shocking to realize at some point that despite being smitten beyond imagination with a woman I met in my very early 20s, she was hedging her bets all along, playing the field in her own inimitable manner. Looking back I could see by mentions in my running log that she was sending warning shots across my bow.
It was a harsh lesson in reality. My naivete was my own exploitation. Frankly, I'm not sure I've totally changed. Recently in an email exchange with a close friend, I expressed concerns over my own level of emotional intelligence. He provided some interesting counsel that I'll share a little further down in this blog.
If you're not up on the priority of emotional intelligence in the world, know that there's a lot of emphasis on emotional intelligence in the workplace and beyond. Dr. Travis Bradberry authored a book on the subject that is worth checking out.
Emotional control
Whether we like it or not, life is a competition in the ability to control our own emotions and discern the emotions of others. Here is how the website AboutEducation describes emotional intelligence: "Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions. Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while others claim it is an inborn characteristic."
As competitive athletes, all of us need to recognize the relative merits of our emotional strengths and weaknesses. Every competitive effort is a measure of your ability to harness and apply your emotions and focus. Great coaches are able to counsel and guide this psychological process, encouraging where helpful and testing where necessary to bring out the best in any athlete or group of athletes.
Need for approval
Some of us are sensitive creatures. We live and die by how we perceive us, or how we think they do. As a young man with a powerful need for approval, the root of which stemmed from a brusque and competitive upbringing, the need for approval would manifest in awkward ways. People rapidly identify a needy personality. Generally it's perceived as a sign of weakness. It's true in love, business and friendship. Any perceived sign of weakness can be interpreted as a competitive disadvantage.
That's why the world's great religions seek to protect and even empower the weak. The sins of power are among the greatest known in the world. It seems unimaginable to some that the wealthiest citizens of a nation would see fit to further exploit the poor, yet it happens. Predatory lending as manifested by high-interest, sub-prime loans are just one example of this phenomenon. One learns through harsh experience not to expect the powerful to be your friend. Their version of emotional intelligence may be very different from your own. Some of them are simply sociopaths. It's true among politicians too.
More than once I've been in a position "behind the scenes" in employment scenarios where executives in the company are considering how to fire a person that I knew quite well. The stunning lack of compassion or understanding witnessed in those decisions is quite instructive to the human soul. Often the executives had no real insight on the actual merits of the individual's performance. All it took was some sign of weakness at a time when the company was undergoing change and that person was gone.
Again, none of this should have surprised me in life. As an athlete, I had little mercy on my competitors in any sport. In baseball I took pride in striking out batters as a pitcher. In basketball, I coolly sank last-minute shots to finish off a persistent foe. In running, there was no better feeling than leaving the entire field behind when I could, and often did. To make matters clear, I also developed a low opinion of their efforts as a result. That's how real competitors often operate.
And still, when it came to love, it seemed like life should be somehow different. Are we really trying to kill each other with this thing called love? Are our lovers really our competitors? Is that how it is supposed to work?
My friends that have gotten divorced can certainly testify how easily love can turn to war. That can make you question the entire concept of love, or shy away from future attempts in love at all. Yet people do find love again, and become happier, well-adjusted people in the process.
In other words, it's possible to win in the game of life even if you fail at work or love, become miserable, or lose your credit rating in the process. That last part is the ultimate sign that we're all in competition whether we know it or not. A few years ago when I purchased our Subaru my credit rating was 960. The dealership sold me the vehicle even though I was out of work at the time, and I've never missed a payment.
Yet credit rating has taken some hits through a few unexpected medical bills and the vagaries of the insurance and bill-paying world in general. Now I'm working to bring it back up to its former stellar level. That takes time, patience and persistence. But it's a competitive world. Your credit rating matters whether you like it or not.
Friends and enemies
The important principle to understand here is that life is not always your friend. Even your friends are not always your friends. Any middle school kid can tell you that. Competition for friendship and popularity is vicious. Trust and acceptance can turn on a dime. Your friends are as likely to manipulate you as your enemies.
As a result I always counseled my own children: "It's not always your enemies you have to watch, it's your friends too. It's always a power struggle." That's not cynical thinking. That's practical advice.
Competitive spheres
Sometimes we compete in spheres where we do not really belong. Somewhere during my sophomore year in college a biology instructor pulled me aside and said, "Listen, you're not really cut out for a biology major. If you give me those six frog illustrations for use in future classes, and do a good job of stuffing that Virginia Rail skin because you're good at that, I'll give you a B in this course. But you need to find a different major. I've already talked to the art department. They're ready for you to join them."
And that's what I did, along with an almost double major in English. It has provided me with many joys in life, including doing this blog, which is for pleasure, not necessarily for money. It's gotten me work in writing however, and that's a good thing.
Still, I'll freely admit my own emotional intelligence is still lacking in some ways. I don't always take my own advice about being tough or smart in business. I still trust that everyone has the same kind values… when nine times out of ten it's really all about the money. I get that. Business is business. As Jackson Browne once wrote:
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
They look at life with such disregard
They say it can't be won
The way the game is run
But if you choose to stay
You end up playing anyway
It's okay
And what follows is a highly personal piece of advice offered by a friend about my place in the world. This is one of the most trusted friends I have, a person with whom I can share absolutely anything going on in life and not be judged. Well, I may be judged, but it is for my own betterment.
"What you perceive as your lack of EQ is actually a lack of cynicism to the point of innocence even. You have an open, liberal, inquisitive, sensitive soul. As such, the lens through which you view others and interpret their actions doesn't often take into account that many people operate at a very base level and are selfish, arrogant, rude, ignorant, insensitive. You intellectually know this, but your heart always gives the benefit of the doubt to others. Like I say, you ąre a teacher, artist, and probably a pastor, too. The type of person who sees the best in others, brings out their best, forgives their flaws. As such, you have a purer form of EQ than most people."
Those seem like rather complimentary values, yet the fact of the matter is they are not always a competitive advantage in this world. In fact these qualities have cost me dearly when it comes to the very competitive world in which we live. Not everyone in business cares if you are a liberal, inquisitive, sensitive soul. In fact they tend to hate those qualities in others. Hate. They consider those qualities to be an obstacle in business. And, they are probably right.
Benefit of the doubt
In some arenas of life, one really should learn not to give the benefit of the doubt to others, or even forgive if you expect to thrive in business. And yet the people that I've forgiven, the folks that acknowledged their own wrongdoing have often turned into lifelong friends.
I used to say that you don't really have the trust of a customer until you've solved a problem for them. Sometimes it is your own mistake, or the mistake of the company you represent that you need to fix, but in any case solving that problem and walking a client or customer through that process is critical to long-term trust. It has always been my philosophy that honesty, earnestness and a bit of sensitivity is actually an attribute in those situations. It was worked wonderfully on many occasions both in sales and marketing. But I'll admit that my bosses have not always understood the approach. Many preferred the hard-line methodology to client relations. Kick ass. Take names. Don't give an inch. And most of all, never admit that you were wrong.
Trusting our competitors to make us better
That might be a good way to look at life and competition in general, but I've grown to prefer a balance.
It really is true that our competitors are ultimately our best friends. That may not mean we grow to like each other, or even trust that person so much as you learn to respect them. Yet our competitors are the ones that drive us to do better. You can turn to that person passing you during competition and thank them for showing you that it's possible to go a little faster, a little longer and a little better. Because like it or not, all of life really is a competition. You gotta learn to love it or fall behind in the process.
That does not mean we cannot lay down our arms and help others. Because the real joy in life beyond our own aggrandizement is helping others succeed. When you've learned that lesson, life is a true joy indeed. Suddenly it's safe to love. And you gotta love that too.

Landscaping Franchises
Realize your franchising dreams by opening a successful landscaping franchise. People take pride in their homes, and if you like working with your hands and don't mind getting dirty this could be excellent business choice. Landscaping companies are busiest in spring and summer. They perform all kinds of duties from basic yard work, to tree planting, to designing fantastic gardens. Some companies might specialize in one thing, like lawn irrigation for example, and stake their claim in the market by doing better than anyone else.

Australia's missing screen heroines
Hollywood is over-flowing with screen heroines in action films, dramas and comedies, but where are Australia's?
Two of our most respected film critics/writers have pondered that question and come up with some intriguing theories.
"Is it that so many scripts draw on cinema past? Nothing wrong with that, all art is built on the back of other art, but this might perhaps limit the way writers think about stories," former ABC Radio National critic Julie Rigg posits in the latest edition of AFTRS' journal Lumina.
"Or it is it that, somehow, writers – male and female – find women's lives uninteresting? I would have to conclude most are just not looking and listening."
Rigg, who now writes on film for ABC Arts Online, opines, "It does start with the writing. I do not believe that only women can write well about women…. but it is worthwhile noting that in Australia there are barely more women writing screenplays than there are directing."
In the same issue, Sydney Morning Herald reviewer Sandra Hall observes, "Internationally we've seen a big boom in female action heroes- thanks to the unstoppable rise of the comic book super hero franchise and the popularity of young adult fiction- but Australian movies have remained pretty well untouched by the trend.
"We're yet to see the re-appearance of the young heroines from novelist John Marsden's series Tomorrow When the War Began, a sequel to Stuart Beattie's film of the book has never materialised."
Hall blames the dearth of Oz screen heroines partly on young actors such as Margot Robbie, who had a breakthrough role in The Wolf of Wall Street, pursuing international careers.
Of the older generation, Cate Blanchett has appeared in just two local films in the past 10 years (Little Fish and a segment of The Turning). Due for release in October via Universal Pictures, Jocelyn Moorhouse's The Dressmaker is Judy Davis' first Australian role since Fred Schepisi's The Eye of the Storm in 2011.
Hall also points to a shortage of cinematic stories about women making their way in the world, unlike TV drama where there are plenty of female lawyers, doctors and detectives.
Looking at Australian films since the early 1990s, Rigg writes, "I can list on my fingers the women characters in whom I can believe. Sad this, until you realise relatively few films are written with female leads."
Rigg proffers two suggestions to boost the low participation rates of women feature writers and directors. One is the provision of child care to compensate for the long hours in film making and in pre- and post-production.
The other, more controversial proposal: "Young women seeking to enter the industry need to toughen up. It's as sexist as any other, and you need to learn how to deal with it assertively. Maybe the many film school courses (so many taught by women who once wanted to write or direct) should take this head on, and give women students some special training. I'd start with learning how to pitch your voice, so that your colleagues listen."
Her article ends with a plea: "Give me, please, some women with juice. They're out there, leading complicated messy lives. And never, ever ever write a role for a generic girlfriend. Or a generic prostitute."

Until 06:00 AM
By AutumnRunner · Postedthese virtual races and challenges really will help runners to prepare for the finale.... but considering to run the FM distance alone without any spectators or water point can be a real challenge...
Standard Chartered Bank..renewed title sponsorship with Singapore Marathon until 2023...
SRY who has a stake on future selection for 2021 SEA GAMES...in his FB..commented... so ST Virtual Run finisher 175KM...can be called as Ultra National Athlete...lol eat more🍿...who shall be the new SA Management Committee on 25 September...
@beast, uncle has tried every reason to stick on SCSM 2020 Virtual Club platform with progressive Base Training Plan towards the "grand finale" edition... on the the hope, if there should be a designated route , say for only "invited" participants... at SCSM Virtual Club there is an accumulating "challenging distance" activities with leaderboard for Points... as well as VR Race categories for leading "VR Runners" SCSM VR Club format...Distance Activities (Challenge) in Points and Race (Pace) with Ranking... in uncle's opinion, the selection criteria may say "invited participants" depends on how much have your training activity and how ready are you for the "grand finale" via your pace and ranking...which is monitored and recording in the 15 Weeks (VR #01 - #15)...against all others in the Community who are sharing in the Virtual Club... regarding on the issue of apps...pretty good...tested and proven to be reliable..SCSM (Ironman) standard...no comments...uncle uses Runkeeper..GPS Only Locator...Distance option only... uncle has not registered with a fee, because it is FOC..so what's the medal quality, finisher tee consideration...only when the "grand finale" edition is announced...so you want VR #01-15 finisher bundles or finisher tees...it is your discretion..there is no obligation... importantly is...between now to the actual day of "Race" day...whether it is VR or/and Run for Elites, or/and Selected Participants Only...say up to 250, or 500, or 1,000, 5,000..."selectively" like in recent Japan Marathons "elite run clubs"...or "lottery" like in Taipei Marathon recently announcement... if decision to run on a "designated" route...announcement should be publicly in both social and print media...supported by MOH (safe distancing measures plan and approved), Sports Singapore (approval on mess event managment plan), Local Authority...with LTA/TP...agreed on Road Closures... event if the grand finale has a VR, would it be 1 session or Challenges which are 1-2 sessions..based on past weeks...why not Train for the SCSM 2020 format...and you would know, if given the format in 15 weeks...surely...no problem, it is achievable...1 session or up to 2 to 3 sessions accumulatively... something very unique about SCSM 2020 format... say if you should complete 21km in the future for 1 session...and if you should exceed 1km more beyond the 21km...SCSM 2020 had reminded to participants...please do not "not exceeded"...otherwise..." yes, don't overchong the distance.. see, even uncle dare not chong the 20km challenge...15.13 + 5.85...is 20.98 KM...so can practice for the VR which is stricter on "not exceeded" btw, the Challenge can be repeated..max is 3... attempts...so uncle can still chong 3 x 20KM for 60KM for this challenge as this one ends today...2359..lol overall response so far... Hope this helps! VR (weekends) and Challenge (weekdays)..SCSM 2020 format...this one is different from the other virtual runs...😀 Note: if the 4-5-6 Dec is considered as SCSM 2020 weekend...then the VR (Grand Finale) should have maintained the same format of VR #01 - #15..and so everyone, are you ready for it? 5km/10km/21km/42km maybe Kids Dash (VR-Kids)...Run Any Place, Run Anytime, Run Global..Friday (5am) to Sunday (1159pm)? "Augmented" V-Reality... TBA...official SCSM 2020 only!
I am also keen to know what will be the plan for SCSM 2020 "finale"... My guess is for safety concerns, we will likely have both the option of running a designated/ recommended route or our own route to run on the first weekend of December, to prevent crowds from forming at the designated/recommended... But things are definitely looking for the better here, so maybe there is a very slight chance that larger groups are allowed before December, and staggered timings in a designated route is permissible. This will at least give runners a closer sense of running an actual race. Actually you are given 12 days to complete the 58KM.... Mon to Fri - 2 x 10km - 20km in 5 days Sat to Sun - 5 + 15km - 20km in 2 days Mon to Fri - 8 + 10km - 18km in 5 days For ST VR 2020, you are given 60 days to complete 175km... means every week you need to clock 21km... that is certainly do-able... The main issue is ST VR is insistent on using the MOVE app, which is causing a lot of issues for runners as it a lousy tracking app that cannot be sync with most of the better running apps...You will probably need to open both the apps if you want to clock for both SCSM and ST VR mileage in a single run...

Its just happened in the blink of an eye. I never imagine, that i will marry someone, in fact i don't even think that i could to doin that (walking down the isle with someone i love).
When i met my husband, i already in a relationship with my officemate for 3,5 years but we still didnt go to amywhere. My relationship went well, but my gut told me that he was not the one i was looking for.
Mybe i cant move forward from my past relationship which leave scar yet bitter in my heart.
Until that day when i met my husband, personally i didnt feel amything especially it was a really bad time to me. I was thinking to make a live in another country and i thought philipines will be my next home. But honestly i dont know how to make a living there. I suprised that my husband been 2.5 years in there, so i made a short conversation about philipines, manila especially.
Who knows that my short question will lead me to know him better? In the second class, i felt that he had some interest and i didnt want to put my self back into a wrong relationship anymore.
One time, sudenly he came to my house. Met my family. And the next moment, he already sat in a dinner table with my big family.
At that time, after so many years living in a doubt, finally i can see it clearly. Seems that there was an invisible hands put him in the very right situations. Mybe it pull the trigger that cause the strong feeling that i already hold the last pieces of the most complicated puzzle that i never fixed.
I found the answer, and i chose to believe my gut that he' ll be my end of searching.
It didnt take much time to stay on doubt. We were merried November 11 th 2014. 15 months since our first met, a few months dating and only 3 months preparation.

Case continued for woman charged with making false rape accusations against SHU football players
BRIDGEPORT -The case against a former Sacred Heart University student, accused of making up rape allegations against two football players to gain sympathy from a perspective boyfriend, was continued Wednesday after her lawyer filed an application for a probation program.
Nikki Yovino, who left Sacred Heart, is charged with second-degree falsely reporting an incident and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
Yovino had already applied for a pretrial diversionary program that could result in the charges against her being dismissed if a judge determines she was suffering from a psychiatric disability. On Wednesday Yovino's lawyer, Mark Sherman, also applied for accelerated rehabilitation for his client.
Under accelerated rehabilitation, a pretrial program for nonviolent offenders, Yovino would not plead guilty to the charges but would be placed on up to two years' probation.
Superior Court Judge Maureen Dennis continued the case to Oct. 27.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Tatiana Messina declined comment. She had previously offered Yovino a plea bargain of two years in prison, followed by three years' probation.

Chris Cameron
Captain, Owner & Operator
Hello, my name is Captain Chris Cameron the proud owner & operator of Fired Up Fishing Charters out of Port Canaveral in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Most people interested in booking a Deep Sea Fishing or Shark Fishing Cocoa Beach trip want to get a good overview of the captains, the vessels they will be on, recent fishing catches and a little bit about the business. Here is a little bio about myself & how my fishing adventures begun. I was born in June 1976 in a small town on the south shore of Long Island called Seaford, New York. Some of the best memories I had growing up was fishing with my father & grandfather and them teaching me the ropes along the way. Rain or shine, day or night and even at times in the snow you could always find me… fishing. If my parents were looking for me they always knew where they could find me on my homemade platform attached to one of the bridges on the waterway leading out to the Atlantic with a fishing pole in hand. I had a great mom that would even bring me a cup of hot chocolate to stay warm on those colder nights in New York. One of my first jobs while I was still in school was at the local bait shop. This was a great job for me since I needed to earn some extra money & what better way than to do something I had a passion for which was fishing!! I was able to connect with the local fishermen in town and get the inside scoop on where to find the fish that were biting, what they were using to catch the fish and I would share with them some of my honey holes fishing spots as well. I learned so much about fishing, tackle, various baits/lures to use for different types of fish, all sorts of fishing knots, terminology and knowledge that I still use to this day. After graduating high school I thought to myself, Hmmm what next… What would I want to do with my life? It was not too hard of a decision for me because I've had such a deep passion for my country since I was young. It quickly became a no-brainer… I would join the United States Navy so I could give back and serve like so many others before me. I got to do something so rewarding while being around the water all at the same time it really was a win-win for me. I was an 18 year old kid eager to grow up and evolve into a respectable man and was ready for whatever was put in my path. I ended up being in the Navy for eight years I enjoyed it so much I trained as an Aviation Mechanic and was assigned to various ships and aircraft carriers while fulfilling my dreams of being able to travel all over the world. I was able to fish when we were at different ports or while away on leave. After I fulfilled my 8 years in the Navy I moved to Orlando, Florida where I began fishing the waters of along the East Coast mostly in the Port Canaveral & Cocoa Beach area. My goal since I was young was to be a professional fishermen and I once I set my mind to something nothing can stop me. I started out as a mate on one of the top offshore fishing boats in Cape Canaveral and did that for a few years and gained a wealth of knowledge which helped prepare me for my Coast Guard Captain's license which I've had for the last 8 years. In between being on the water I decided to become a full time Firefighter/Paramedic with a local Fire Department a career I love and find so rewarding by helping others not to mention it's a great schedule working 24 hours on shift & 48 hours off which gives me plenty of time for fishing. I formed Fired Up Fishing Charters in 2007 and over the last 9 years we've managed to grow considerably each year by having so many repeat charter guests by gaining their trust and respect by showing them exceptional customer service while putting them on fish to create an overall Epic Fishing Experience. I feel blessed to have a winning team stand behind me with some of the most awesome friendly, knowledgably fishing captains you could ask for. (Check out my other captain's bios for more information). In June 2009 my son Cash was born and he is the ultimate love of my life and raising him has been the most rewarding job ever. He enjoys fishing too just as I did when I was a kid and I love being able to teach him the ropes at an early age just like my father did for me. This sums me up in a nutshell …. I've truly been blessed with a great life, a wonderful family and doing the things I love most in life. I look forward to being able to have you as Fired Up Charter customer and building a relationship and as I do with so many of my other charter guests.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian security forces arrested dozens of Hamas members in overnight raids in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the largest security crackdown since 2007, officials said on Friday.
Adnan Al-Dmairi, security spokesman for the Western-backed Palestinian Authority, said the Hamas men had planned "to sow chaos" but he gave no specifics charges.
Islamist Hamas controls the Gaza Strip and is a rival of Fatah, the movement headed by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas which is dominant in the West Bank.
Though Abbas formally reconciled with Hamas last year to form a unity government, distrust remains.
"We are arresting them for interrogation or to put them on trial based on evidence they are threatening Palestinian internal security stability and are trying to drag the region and drag us into military confrontation and destroy the area," Dmairi said.
Hamas said 108 of its members were taken into custody in raids in towns across the territory. It said the raids were politically motivated and coordinated with Israel.
"Actions by these collaborator services will not break the movement and will not weaken resistance. We call for the immediate release of prisoners and we warn of the consequences of these unpatriotic measures," Hamas spokesman Abu Zuhri said.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she had no information on the arrests, which took place two days after Israel said it had rounded up 40 Hamas men in the West Bank in the past few months, accusing them of planning attacks on Israel.
The Palestinians hope to create an independent state in Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Asian cinema has a long history of success at the Cannes Film Festival and that's a trend which may well continue this year at the 63rd edition of the world's most prestigious film gathering.
The legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa (Kagemusha) and China's Chen Kaige (Farewell, My Concubine) are both former winners whose reputations were crowned by the attention they received at the French seaside town, and festival organizers have this year, as usual, selected an eclectic mix of five films from the region among the 18 vying for the Palme d'Or, Cannes' top prize. The festival is set to kick off on May 12 and run to May 23.
Among those in contention is a production from a Thai filmmaker virtually unknown outside the world's arthouse film circuit as well as films from three directors who have become festival favorites over the years.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul -- a Cannes Jury Prize winner in 2004 with Tropical Malady -- returns with a Spanish-German-French-British co-production Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives. South Korea, meanwhile, will see Im Sang-soo present The Housemaid and Lee Chang-dong unveil Poetry. Both directors have long been favourites on the arthouse circuit, as has Japan's Takeshi Kaneshiro, who has Outrage in the running for the top award. The Palme D'Or field is rounded out by Chongqing Blues, directed by China's Wang Xiaoshuai. Heading the Palme D'or jury is American filmmaker Tim Burton.
Here's a look at what Asia's representatives films are all about:
The Housemaid: Im Sang-soo directs a remake of the 1960 Korean classic. Jeon Do-yeon -- best actress winner in Cannes for Secret Sunshine (2007) -- plays a maid who begins a torrid affair with the head of her household.
Poetry: An old woman turns to poetry for help as she battles with the onset of Alzheimer's disease in a film from one of South Korea's most skilled helmers, Lee Chang-dong
Chongqing Blues: Wang Xiaoshuai turns his cameras on to a story based on fact, which follows a sailor who is forced to reassess his own life after returning home to find his son has been killed by the police.
Outrage: A return after 10 years to the yakuza gangster genre for Takeshi Kitano in a film rumored to be high on his trademark violence. Kitano stars as a lowly thug who schemes for better days after years of cleaning up after his bosses.
Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives: Noted for his non-narrative styles, Apichatpong Weerasethakul winds this tale around an old man who is joined on his death bed by the ghost of his wife and together they explore the man's history.
