Perspective

Thought for today:

Take a time out from your daily routine to be thankful for everything in your life, especially the people with whom you are surrounded. It is so easy to lose perspective and let our perceptions overshadow the truly important things.

We've all heard it before, and know it's true. . . but the trick is to live it daily. As they used to be fond of saying: this ain't no dress rehearsal, folks!

Payin' The Bills

So I've gotten tired of the never-ending-search-for-a-day-gig routine. It seems that I'm either over-qualified or under-qualified for jobs ranging from $7/hour to $25/hour.

So what to do? [Warning: Shameless plug to follow]

Go into business for yourself and charge $50/hour or more! Hence the creation of www.walthertmanphoto.com

I figured, why not turn a hobby into a profitable business? So, if you (or anyone you know) is in the market for wedding photography or family/business portraits, send them my way.

You could even earn a tidy sum in return for your referrals. Here's how:

For every referral client that books before April 10, 2006, I will pay you $50 CASH. Heck, send enough business my way, and you might be able to retire early and start your own business!
