BTI #376: Why Entrepreneurship is Hard AF
Beyond the Image Podcast
In 39 years of live, I’ve had some pretty good ideas that did not work. For example, what could have been a best-selling marketing book. But I kept my idea in draft form on my desk until the book came out; only my name was not on the cover and it was a best-seller. There was a time I would host meet-up events between photographers and models and charge everyone who attended the events. But I failed to innovate overtime and the interest in the event died out. And so many more ideas I’ve had and tried to execute along the way. I’ve done a lot of things as an entrepreneur that...

BTI #373: How to Beat Your Competition
Beyond the Image Podcast
At the age of 15, my sole priority was to look impressive to others, particularly girls. This singular motivation inspired at least 98% of every decision I made, including what I wore, how I styled my hair, etc. It was even the reason I changed my name from Jimmie to James. A significant decision of mine at this time was to walk away from playing baseball, which I had played for the previous 10 years, and instead join the high school football team. I was far from talented or skilled. But, my goal was not to be a star football player. My goal was to look like a star football player. ...

BTI #372: Turning Free Stuff into Paying Clients
Beyond the Image Podcast
Imagine a lanky, lazy, fatuous 19 year old me. I wanted money. I desired wealth. But did I want a real job? No! I was the 3rd assistant manager of a record store. We actually had no employees outside of the managers. I had no one to manage and was still at the bottom of the totem pole. The record store did not pay well and most of my paycheck went to the outlet mall food court meals. I needed some extra cash. The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was the store next door and planning to open a kiosk across town in another mall. The owner asked me if I was willing to pick up some...

BTI #370: How to Best Sell YOURSELF
Beyond the Image Podcast
I spent the better part of the last hour looking over the most common, overused, cliche, and annoying phrases that are being used on dating app profiles. I did not do this for myself or my own entertainment, I did this for you. You’re probably curious what some of those phrases are. “I’m an open book.” “Looking for a partner in crime.” “If my dog doesn’t like you, it’s just not gonna work.” “I like to have fun.” “I like to have a good time.” “I love to laugh.” “I’m down to earth.” “I’m laid back.” “I’m looking for a friend...

BTI #369: Magazine Cover Contests
Beyond the Image Podcast
It was 2017 when I received the biggest news I had ever received in my entire career. For the 15 years prior to that moment, I had photographed countless fitness talents for countless fitness magazine covers. Sadly, never having the opportunity to reach my own lifelong dream of me being on a cover. That changed when I received the offer to not only photograph, but to personally be honored to appear on the cover of Gainz Magazine. I had been training for two and a half hours a day. 6 days a week, for the past 5 months to get my body to a place where it could be photographed and properly...

info_outlineI was on Instagram the other day, wasting time, and I came across a post that said something to the effect of, “Why are people talking about 2021 being over and the inability to wait for 2022? Do you realize that there is still _ # of weeks/days/hours/minutes still left in this year? Are you really prepared to give up on your goals that easily and throw away this percentage of the year that you have left?”
I found this post to be rather rude. Who is this person to shame me for wasting time on Instagram or Netflix? The point is that you have every right to take a bit of a break and reprise from a year that was not as we thought it would be. Let’s talk about what you should be thinking about going into the New Year.
“I don’t think many of us had the energy to deal with 2021 because we had been so mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually depleted after everything we went through in 2020.”
