I stumbled upon this quote by Steven Furtick, Lead Pastor at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC on my friend Cameron’s tumbler via Joshua Blankenship. Now I understand why it’s called “the web.”

This quote was first posted on these gentlemen’s internet estate at some point last year and was one of those “things that I read then write in my moleskine.” I was prompted to thumb through my quad-ruled pages today looking for it after reading a post by Philadelphia children’s photographer, Kristen Kalp, entitled “On Haters,” referring to those who think they can do better in regards to various aspects of photography, and really, the entire creative world. Definitely give it a read then check out her Greatest Hits section for some useful marketing tips. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but one of the main things I’ve learned from my apprenticeships with big wig photographers is that you need to be a better marketer than photographer in order to have a successful business.

Bon appetit!
