Do your thing! Do. Your. Thing.

I was doing a mentor session for an aspiring photographer years ago and as we sipped lattes in a local coffee shop, she asked me one simple question:

“How did you know you could do it?”

Without hesitation, I replied “It never crossed my mind that I couldn’t.”

As a naive college kid, I had no clue what I was doing with that camera. But I was audacious enough to believe I wouldn’t fail.

I think back to that question sooooo often.

Why was I so brave at 20 years old?

Was it because I was young and clueless as to what it takes to run a business?

Was it because I had nothing to lose?

What made me take the plunge and never once (not even for a second) question if I would “fail” at starting my own business?!

I honestly don’t know.

But damn am I glad I did!

Here’s your reminder to go do the damn thing. Whatever your thing is. Be brave. Be bold. And maybe even be a bit clueless + confident. Because you never know where it will take you!
