Lot's of people dream of success, but are they really prepared for it? I ask myself this question all the time. Am I ready when the big jobs come? Am I ready for the responsibility to be on me? Am I ready to fail...and get back up? Don't know if I'll ever know the answer til it comes, but I think I am. I recently shot an ad for Bugle Boy for a local studio I do work for and I also signed a deal with Red Bull to shoot some of their events and sponsored athletes. Seems things are starting to pick up. So maybe the question will be answered sooner rather than later. So far I haven't done any of my dream jobs, but I'm getting closer and the jobs I have done, I've been able to make them fun. I always try and get 'the shot' and them something that will make me happy.
And I'm preparing myself for whatever happens. Like the picture above. I took this in the 3 hour wait to get out of the Texas Motor Speedway parking lot. Look how prepared this gentleman is. Note the cooler he's reaching into from his sofa. Notice the subtle smoker welded to the back. And if anyone is confused about his affiliation...just note his adopted logos.
I was thinking 'a country boy can survive' but the boy scout theme works too. Good points there Shane. I would recommend Seth Godin's Linchpin. Excellent read for being 'the guy' when the time comes. Remember, failure is acceptable, fear is not.
