The Mysterious Powerful Element of a Picture That Sells.
A photo buyer calls for a picture of pigs. It could be about anything. A hundred responses go online and one lucky so-and-so gets the sale. That's 99 pictures deemed to be second, and that's no good in any race.
So, what is it about that...

THE PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS - THE WINNING MIND
A few points to summarise this section...
* Don't go for the "fast buck". Play the percentage game, rather
than the flashy strokes. Aim for win-win situations (not win-lose).
* The key words are: drive, patience, energy, a 'can do' attitude,
efficiency and mental toughness.
* Be willing to dare. 'Be bold and unseen forces come to your
aid'that is one of my favourite quotations.
* Have energy, persistence, determination and singlemindedness.
N.B:
INTEGRITY towards self and others is vital.
* An expectation of success - think big, but take small steps
along the way.
* Eagerness, enthusiasm and the ability to make things happen
* The ability to define targets and goals and have dreams
* Think creatively. This is the ability to see things differently to
think new thoughts ("tink new torts").
In short,
DEVELOP YOUR THINKING SKILLS - ALL of them.
Create and seize opportunities
Take action - successful people do not stand still and expect
things to happen to them. Take one step;
then the next step
will follow naturally.
Define your targets and goals, also have dreams - big ones
No success comes without ACTION and hard work. Take one
step then the next will follow naturally.
As the ancient Chinese philosopher said so wisely:
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step (and
not a broken fan belt and flat tyre)!
Enjoy your sport... and your work (if you are a "pro" - sounds
"naughty" that!)
"It's the warmth you get in the fruit of your work or in the fruit
of your efforts"
Diane von Furstenberg, founder of a fashion, beauty and a
home building empire)
Success is a lifestyle which is normmally desired to continue.
There are always higher peaks to be conquered - in sport
and in life.
So ask yourself,
WHY NOT ME?
GOOD LUCK IN CLIMBING YOUR PERSONAL "EVEREST".
