Week 7

For the $100 Challenge, I have continued to progress with the assignment this week.  This weekend I have had my first three photo shoots.  I hope to get more appointments lined up, but feel so far this has been a successful journey.  I found with these appointments that I really enjoyed what I was doing, which is imperative when searching for a career or entrepreneurship path.  I now have to edit the pictures and get them back to my customers on a CD-rom.  I have always wanted to, but have never done an “official” photo session, and it was a learning experience for me.  Much more work than I thought went into it, but so rewarding and fun at the same time.  When life slows down a bit, I could definitely see this as a side business (maybe more?) for me.

I really enjoyed this week’s topics.  We discussed being a leader that has emotional intelligence and can lead with love, kindness, and empathy.  This is something that I have tried to work on in my current and past jobs, and feel like it is so important to have in the workplace.  Learning how to lead and be in a supervisory position, but doing so with understanding and compassion is something that I want to become.
