"Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference." - Amisha Patel

Starting up a business after others are now very successful might dwarf your perspectives. But learning from Ryan...

Books? I Don’t Read Them. Here’s Why

Miles Lacoste2019-11-07T00:56:01-08:00

"Picture books are for everybody at any age, not books to be left behind as we grow older. The best ones leave a tantalising gap between the pictures and the words, a gap that is filled by the reader's imagination, adding so much to the excitement of reading a book." - Anthony Browne

I know that there are so many people who love reading, but I am an exception. I don't read books, but I can explain to you why. In my...

Photographers: Quick Tips On How To Increase Your Price

Miles Lacoste2019-11-07T00:21:31-08:00

"Photographers usually want to photograph facts and things. But I'm interested in the nature of the thing itself. A photograph of someone sleeping tells me nothing about their dream state; a photograph of a corpse tells me nothing about the nature of death. My work is about my life as an event, and I find myself to be very temporal, transient." - Duane Michals

In photography, especially in this digital world, competition is high. But you can be a perfect client...

Consistently Publish Content Without A Team

Miles Lacoste2019-11-05T00:08:31-08:00

"Ultimately, leadership is not about glorious crowning acts. It's about keeping your team focused on a goal and motivated to do their best to achieve it, especially when the stakes are high and the consequences really matter. It is about laying the groundwork for others' success, and then standing back and letting them shine." - Chris Hadfield

If your business is a one-manned man, you may think that it would be hard to be consistent in publishing content. But the...

Tips Before You Start Your YouTube Channel

Miles Lacoste2019-10-29T00:22:50-07:00

"YouTube was really good for building a kind of core, loyal fanbase. I didn't want to be a YouTube artist as such. I mean, there are people who are able to release albums and live off YouTube, but I felt - and not in an arrogant way - that I could be commercial and credible if I really put my mind to it." - Gabrielle Aplin

Are you thinking you starting your own YouTube channel? Well, you actually can and these...

Scripts Aren’t Needed To Create Interesting Videos

Miles Lacoste2019-10-29T00:01:18-07:00

"No one cares about your ideas. They're not going to come knocking on your door looking for ideas. They're going to want some concrete evidence that you have the potential to serve them or give them value for money. So that's my advice: write your spec scripts, no matter what. They're essential as a calling card, even if they don't get produced." - Shane Black

Creating videos is important for your business. It's definitely good for the business. But...

Miles Lacoste2019-10-28T23:34:18-07:00

"I tell a student that among the most important classes you can take are techniques. A great chef is first a great technician. 'If you are a jeweler, or a surgeon or a cook, you have to know the trade-in your hand. You have to learn the process. You learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you." - Jacques Pepin

Creating videos and making things successful is something that everyone can't do since we have different talents and skills....

How To Grow Your Audience On Instagram

Miles Lacoste2019-10-23T20:48:29-07:00

"We have spent so many years looking at images of another beauty ideal and so many years taking in magazine covers and films that represent a beauty standard that we'll never meet. People don't realize that there are makeup artists and hairstylists behind the scenes - even in something as simple as a 'candid' Instagram photo." - Philomena Kwao

If you have a business, it is important that you create content consistently to keep with the demand of your...

Tips How To Produce Videos Like A Pro

Miles Lacoste2019-10-23T19:49:58-07:00

"Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree." - Joyce Meyer

If you are new to creating videos...

Three Common Mistakes You Make When Creating Videos

Miles Lacoste2019-10-22T00:14:38-07:00

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge

I understand that creating videos isn't for everyone. It's a pain for others who are not really into it. But if you are starting to make videos, there are three...
