Hi [MM_Member_Data name=’firstname’],
You might think I’m about to talk about how being humble in general is so important to be successful and live a great life, but it’s not the case in this blog post.
Being humble can also draw parallels with willing to be vulnerable. It will be your biggest asset to start any project, because we don’t always know everything (rarely, actually), and we have to be able to place ourselves in the hot water and under the projector even though we don’t really know what to do.
If you want something bad enough, I think you will do it, and if not, you have to summon all of your courage to make it happen.
So often, people assume we have professional photographers or videographers with us, but in reality, most of the pics you see online of me, Cath, or any brand I support are shot by us. I’m not a photographer by any means, and I don’t think I’m particularly talented with photos, but I’ve tried and tried and tried — that’s how I’ve become better at it! It’s the same thing with everything else — practice, practice, practice!
There’s nothing else to it!
That’s why I selected the pic you see for the featured photo! First off, you can see “Never Retreat, Never Surrender” on my back, which represents everything I try to endorse. Secondly, I’m taking Cath’s pic for a Gymshark campaign. Taking the bull by the horns is the way to go in everything.
I hope this short post will make you realize that you need to start somewhere and there’s nothing else you can do about it. If you want to do something, do it now — you might not be great at it at first, but practice will bring you closer to perfection. Even though perfection is not possible, strive for more — strive to perfect your skills and your craft!
On that, I wish you all the best. I’d like to know — what will you start to do today, or at least this week?
Talk to you later,
Marc
