If you’ve been following me for any length of time, then you most likely know my M.O. by now: put your work out there early and often.

In fact, the best photographers I know, the best creatives, teachers, accountants, or --insert profession here--, are also entrepreneurs/intra-preneurs, authors, speakers, marketers, and more.
