If you're already a professional creator, then you know that you had to hear a lot of "no" for every "yes". If you're not yet a pro, or perhaps more importantly if you are a pro whose enjoyed a taste of success, then hear this: Get Used To Hearing "No". Quite honestly, understanding this will be some of the best medicine you'll ever take - because once you get it...you GET it, and it will...

Okay, so maybe you haven't created your New York Times Best Seller that's sold millions of copies, and maybe you haven't won the Chinese kickboxing championship or hold the Guinness Record for most consecutive tango spins, but there's one all-important thing that you have in common with my pal Tim Ferriss....fear. You might think a wildly successful author and innovator doesn't experience fear like a "normal person," but as Tim revealed here, it's exactly that...

A couple years ago, you may recall, during a month-long artist-in-residency at the Ace Hotel in NYC I took the opportunity to celebrate the snapshot -- quintessential street photography -- and I called the exhibit Dasein: Invitation to Hang. ['Dasein' is a German word used by philosophers to refer to raw human experience or the fundamental mode of "being there." I found that when applied to photography, the snapshot was the ultimate photographic expression of...

There are two types of photographers who impress the hell out of me. One is the wartime photojournalist, who puts his or her life on line to document real stories and images behind the world's most dangerous conflicts. [I've written about it before -- Would You Die for a Photo?]. Without their work, truths get lost, and the stakes are as high as they can get. The other is the extreme photographer.

When I saw this recent post strike a nerve, it motivated me to share this post from my man Ramit Sethi on charging what you're worth. Today he's back by popular demand to share a simple one-two approach to setting your prices and upping your earning potential. Pencils ready? Okay, take it away Ramit. Thanks, Chase. I recently asked a photographer how she came up with her pricing. She said, “Well... I researched my competition and found...

We've come to reserve the word GENIUS only for the top percent of society, a special gifted few. But the truth is, there is genius in all of us. What we really need to do is find it and let it out. I asked Michael Meade, a renowned storyteller, author, and scholar of mythology, anthropology, and psychology and author of The Genius Myth to help break this down --- and like all good chasejarvisRAWs, he...

My true calling in life is exactly what I'm doing right now, but I did not wake up one day and just KNOW that I wanted to become a photographer and an entrepreneur. It took years of trial and error, starts and stops, and listening to my own gut to find a path to here. It wasn't easy, and I think it rarely is. Over the years, people have asked me how to help them...
