Determined to succeed? It starts with attitude!

Yesterday I visited Soccer City for my first World Cup Game.
There lined along the sides of the field were about 60 professional photographers, my heart sank at first, as pessimistic thoughts of "if only" crept into my mind.

I've got a couple of friends that don't even muster up the courage to find new positions or send out their cv's but will complain incessantly about how unhappy they are, and make excuses about how they are doomed before they even start looking!

Realising that there are millions of reasons why we could fail there are millions more reasons why we could and CAN succeed - While there are millions of people who consider themselves up and coming photgraphers (or accountants, or designers, or sailors, or anything really) the ones that go that extra mile, the ones with the staying power are those that make it long term and are successful because their attitude at the beginning of their task determined their success (or failure).

Famous quote for the day : Many of us don't plan to fail, but fail to plan! Harvey MacKay
Your attitude at the beginning of your task will determine your success or failure and Tanith Oram is determined to succeed! Whatever it is you're trying to achieve, it all starts with YOU!
