If your day was so hard and got nothing to earn while doing something new than it means you are incredible. Nothing is too easy in this life because every reward that you could earn will need sacrifice and even tears, but if you want to know why you must fall down is because here you can learn how to get up. Life will be fair for everyone, if somebody get used to falling and get up many times than life will giving up but if you falling down and don’t know how to stand up than life will win, in other words life will make you down.
So in general, it is your resposibility to find how to make the life become loser.
Hi lovely people my name is Bima and thank you for coming to this blog, I’m here write something about life for you is not because I am a motivator or even the best person in this business but today I wanna share how I keep get up for every single falling that I had in my life.
I begin my studio in 2009 a year after university graduation, lately 10 years following that moment I still live by pushing camera shutter and take my family into better life. After ‘jumping’ from local market to international wedding I wonder that my business life will be easier till I found my self don’t shoot any wedding for almost 5 years.
Do I feel sad? Yes of course because I don’t see any niche that able to provide me happiness but wedding, definitely I truly love this niche better than others. This situation is happen to me not because the wedding industry fall down but due to my idealist I have highly specific couple that I want to serve. Some people told me that I’m an extremist in this business and they told that if I do this method than I will be fall down someday.
Generally I need money to live especially when I could tell you that I have 4 kids to feed so this situation is ain’t easy at all. Here I am, I know exactly what my vision is in wedding photography so generally is not about just shooting and earn money at the end of the album delivery. For me doing regularly job for something that I don’t love is just wasting my time and energy, I know so many sucessful person face this problem too and they told me the same words so if someday I could pass this test than I will share everything to you right on this blog just as same as I did few years ago when I could branding my self till serving cross country client just with using a simple WordPress blog.
Why I Choose to be Idealist Just to Work on My Dream
It will back into the meaning of passion, few years ago when I start my photographer career I just falling in love with photography especially wedding niche, as a person who belong to broken home kid, seeing people laugh and hug each other on the romantic day was the most prestigious moment that I don’t have in my life.
For me business is just a way to live better both for me as the owner and some people around who assist me, so no matter what you working for than business is just a ‘game’ that you really need to feed your family, give love to someone that close to you, and deliver a value to someone that ordering from you.
Since it just a game that you personally made so if you falling down than all you need is just press the reset button in your mind and start over. When I was 12 years old I have a SEGA game with so many cassettes like Sonic, Dragon Ball, or Street Fighter I do challenge my self to finish all the round but if I get stuck with the enemy and lose my points so I just press the rest button and start over….so simple!
Now let me tell you, if you ever play Sonic games than you must that fighting with the Hedgehog was so difficult so sometimes I lose my rings and when his weapon stick to Sonic than I will die. I think it just the same thing with your business, you may get a bankrupt or nothing to earn during your journey but all you need to do is just press the reset button.
Here in photography business I felt so many times because I know my self that I have super specific term and condition to shoot, this just a game because when someone ask me to fly to Hong Kong for portrait session than I sent my enquiry of $1800 than he rejected my offer so what I did is just say next! But damn! I receive so many rejection during those days even from 1 hundred enquiries to shoot to Maldives than only two couple, one from Hong Kong and one another from Singapore who get me dealing with and fly into that crystal clear sea water island.
In my opinion, rather than receiving hundred of couple in a year but we sell in a cheap price which is used to be too many panic and rush time than I choose small amount of humble and cooperative couple in a year that able to appreciating my works and surely pay with the price that I want.
I know that business will able to work finely with passion so lets try to do this!
It’s So Good To Know How Painful the Falling Is!
It’s always good to be able to grateful to God about what we had in life,
The most exciting moment is, we can not feel grateful if we never have a deficiency in our life, it could be less money, energy, trust, and even health so why the God take some part of them from us is just because he want us to be better human being.
Dear my friend in your home sweet home, I’m calling you to stay strong no matter where you are, all you need to do is stand up one more time and proof to yourself that you are able to pass this test perfectly, in a simple words, don’t let anyone who want you to lose winning.
