    Awesome tips! My girlfriend and I are starting a wedding film/photography business. And I asked myself the question, “would that be a good idea?” But then I ran into Chris’s video about you two working together and making it work! It was on point🔥 My point is everything you said is exactly what we’ve discussed! 😆👌🏼 That’s what’ll take to work for yourself. But well worth it🙏🏼

    Whaaaaat????!!! A wall mounted phone?? With a long cord??? But seriously, all of these are spot on!!! I had my own part time business and had to master all of these. But most of all, be teachable. You have to be able to learn and apply those lessons.

    This was such a good video, Lizzie! Love the positive attitude over everything. You hit some great points like Loving what you do, which I do! And the dope B-Roll segments of the amazing cottage in between the points. Kept my interest the whole time by breaking up the talking points and change of locations around the cottage! GREAT WORK!!

    heck yeah, this is just what I needed to get motivated again. sometimes it's so hard to work for yourself especially when you feel stuck. I am a freelance photographer and filmmaker and I was so frustrated these days because I am working my ass off and sometimes it feels like I am not making progress. thank you for your motivation and this video!

    I embarrassingly had to google net 30 but I glad I did. And you're so right. It's a matter on budgeting. I had an issue with my last payment and had to wait to get NEW check sent, so not only was it behind, it was DOUBLY behind. Luckily I am pulling "double duty" right now with jobs, but still. I can see how things can get scary.

  • @ZdenkaDarula

  • @arteevo5269
    @arteevo5269 6 лет назад +6

    Starting from scratch is so hard!! It’s so much easier to go work for someone else.. I’ll soon be transitioning to more photography and less “ day time job” in two weeks. Not quite sure what jobs I’ll find but I have something to land on if I fail! Took your advice on saving before going full time. 😄 Cheers from the MidWest 🌾🌽 in the US!

    • @LizziePeirce
      @LizziePeirce  6 лет назад +2

      It is hard! And it's not really the best fit for most people. And that doesn't mean this is some "elite" club or anything. It's honestly way easier, more secure, and sometimes better to work for someone else. It's just that If you're a creative human then that won't satisfy you!

    • @arteevo5269
      @arteevo5269 6 лет назад

      Lizzie Peirce That is so true!! Thank you Lizzie!! You’ve honestly been an inspiration to start doing and taking steps rather than postponing the jump. Lol

    @SweetLouPhotography 6 лет назад

    The ego bit really resonates here- I have a production horror story regarding someone who couldn't leave their ego at the door. Completely ruined the entire thing, wasted mad people's time and money. It's such a bummer, but it really taught my friends and I a ton about working with people who love creating... and not working with people who just love 'having created something.' Also your titles are pure fuego

      R Cody Wanner hmmm, I’m not entirely sure xD. It might be a great thing to refer to people as high quality you tubers instead of big or small. Like you! High quality. Peter McKinnon, high quality. Logan Paul, low quality. Ok maybe I’m getting to far. Awesome to have a reply from you. You’ve been a great inspiration man!

  • @mariafilippini4593
    @mariafilippini4593 6 лет назад

    Great tips, Lizzie, I like how they apply to basically all freelance/self-employed jobs. I believe that people get better at being self-employed once they understand how to change their mindsets coming from a steady-income job. It might be hard at first having to deal with everything on your own, but once you get the hang of it, it's the best. I wouldn't go back to working for someone else, at all.

    • @attilatech
      @attilatech 5 лет назад

      Cody, thank you for commenting. My idea is to drive people crazy with some funny stuff at the end and call it an end roll. The only drawback is that some people would skip to the end just to have fun and the RUclips algorithm would not like that.
