Why you won't succeed in photography

Success requires work. It also requires understanding how to get people's attention.
I got a question from a viewer about how to succeed in photography. This individual is somewhat frustrated and its completely understandable. I personally believe that everyone in the world has the power to do anything they want. There are countless people who are proof of this. But the bottom line is that most can't/don't/won't which is why my advice should fire you up even more.
• Define what you are trying to succeed at specifically. Chase that goal, but don't close yourself off to other opportunities.
• Be careful about "creating work for yourself"
• Do the work. This is the most obvious, but its the most difficult. Its also what makes people ultimately give up. Do the work.
