That guy who showed his work to twenty people, he doesn't want to do the sales work, he just wants to shoot. If that's the case, I can sympathize, and also say that if he didn't want to do that par, he should have quit sooner. It's part of the job.
Sometimes folks don’t research just exactly what the job entails. Shooting is fun, there must be some way to make the rest of it at least tolerable. And that’s the challenge.
"We are the creative professionals who base our entire careers on making things look interesting. Why would we stop with our branding, our collateral material, and - for the love of God - our website?"
Love your words. I’m solely focused on my website at the moment and thought about a Substack but decided I wanted to set up a newsletter that sits on my website so this stays my number 1 focus at the moment - something to continually work on - so it does not just sit there doing nothing - keeping invested in theses things is key like you say. Then if the time feels right, I will move to Substack. Thank you for sharing all of this.

Absolute gold here.
Thanks Seth
