My degree is in elementary education – but do many people do a job that has to do with their degree?
I taught first grade for two years before having my first son and becoming a stay-at-home mom. Then, in late 2012, I started my photography business around the time I turned 40. A new chapter.
I didn’t know much about running a business and to be totally honest I didn’t know a ton about photography. But, I had a passion and wanted to start something on my own and my expensive hobby seemed like the right thing. Crazy, right?
There are SO many things I wish I had known. I wish had a mentor from Day 1 telling me what to do and letting me bounce ideas off of! I’ve grown a lot in 7+ years as a photographer and a business woman entrepreneur. And I wish I could tell that woman just starting out a thing or two…or 10.
So, here it goes!
Dear Natasha (late 2012),
As you start this new adventure as an entrepreneur there are a few things you should know.
You are strong. And you can do more than you think you can. Remember that you are smart and motivated and that will take you far.
Make sure to carve out time to sit back and look at your journey. And remember to give yourself a pat on the back now and then – you deserve it.
Celebrate your wins.
Love,
Natasha (2020)
