Walking With Jordi

I believe that I'm at a point where I understand who I am, not who I'm trying to be. In acknowledging the things that I am blessed with such as communication skills, empathy, gratitude, and sharp perspective on the hardships of life relative to my own, these things have shaped me into who I am. The struggles that each of us have define us in unique ways. And it's because of this that I believe that you should tell that story. Not some caricature of who you want to be. You, your truth, your flaws, your gifts, your shortcomings, is the story. That's what makes you you.

Focus on your strengths. We all have insecurities amongst other shortcomings. Please don't dwell on them!

Hey Podcast, this episode is a call to action to go run some ads! It's never been a better time to be alive than now! The opportunity is in such abundance and I fear many of us aren't taking advantage of it. Please please please! Go learn how to advertise on these platforms! It will change the course of your business!

It's in our nature to be quiet selfish and self serving, and that's ok. But there's a point where we all desire more accolades, respect, love but where does this come from? I believe that it comes from giving selflessly. Now, this isn't easy by any means. It takes knowing yourself, being comfortable in your shortcomings, and accepting the fact that we're all on a common journey with our own individual paths. In doing this podcast, I want to make my contribution to creatives, and other listeners alike by giving the insights that I've gained from my journey and the new things that I continue to learn. That is where the success lies. Try it!

As creatives, out freedom comes in the form of getting to make what we desire. But I believe there comes a time in business where you need more speed. And speed comes in many forms. You can better your skills, you can outsource, and/or hire. Outsourcing has been one of the significant improvements in my business. This has allowed me to increase customer satisfaction while increasing overall gross profit because I'm able to take on more shoots due to me buying back my time.

Hey Podcast, in always thrilled to come here and deliver some of my thoughts in a raw, unfiltered way. Among my personal aspirations, is to build a successful customer facing photography business where I'm able to provide high quality services for an affordable price. I don't care about being published or working with celebrities. I care about making the experience of photography a fun and accessible one. And that's why I operate my business like I do. How do you operate your business and what are your ambitions?

We need to be patient. Diligence is important when growing and the compliment to this is patient. We will always desire fast results because it's wired in us. But whenever you feel your dreams are far off, remember that a baby has to crawl, then walk before it can run.

Collaboration is key for any business. I believe that when executed right it can create great relationships, meaningful content and then that person becomes apart of your network because you brought value through the execution of your work.

Hey Podcast, it's been a few days since I've recorded an episode but today I'm here to spill some thoughts that I think would be helpful for anyone that's getting heavy into marketing or on the journey of understanding themselves like myself. We have to take deeper looks internally, ask critical questions of ourselves, deploy a little more empathy, and accept the shortcomings of all our lives. I believe that as we bring this conversation of happiness and internal success to the forefront, we'll be able to have more open conversations and extract more judgement out of the system. It'll take time though, but it begins with you and you can start today.

Hey Podcast, today I'm filled with emotions as I hit a fork in my path. I'm reflecting on how I feel, and that is all. Thanks for sticking by on my journey thus far.
