Overnight success doesn’t exist, and if it did, you shouldn’t want it. If you want to be good at something, the time it takes to get good is important! “Overnight success” takes years of practice, dedication and education. I’ve been a filmmaker and photographer for over 10 years with SO MANY failed attempts at trying to make it full-time. Still, I worked hard and kept my focus on my dream.

To “make it” you need to make sure you are constantly fueled, but you have to equally be diligent. Four years ago almost to the date I had a calling that I could no longer ignore. This feeling prompted me to quit my job and focus on my freelance work, and I’ve been extremely blessed to do so ever since. I have to say though, success won’t come to you just because you want it or feel entitled to received it. Some people think the ‘universe’ owes them. This world doesn’t owe us anything and you must work incredibly hard for what you want.

Success is not built on success — it’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes, it’s built on catastrophe. You can’t let doubt, fear, or negative opinions stand in your way…
