In this solo episode, I take you through a reflection on perseverance, the importance of concrete end goals, and why many photographers (and entrepreneurs) give up too soon. From my own experience - both on the bike in France and in my business - I draw parallels between training, entrepreneurship and working toward sustainable growth.

I'll tell you about a photographer who wanted to abandon his goal early, and why that's actually not a good idea. You'll hear how small adjustments along the way are crucial, without losing sight of the larger end goal.

I will also give you an insight into my photography community CONNECT, with special master classes (including Jim Huylebroek and Irina Werning), and how they too - just like you and me - work towards their goals step by step. Get inspired to stick to your mission, to not start over and over again, but to really move forward with smart intermediate steps.

Take-away: ask yourself better questions, don't give up too soon, and learn how to work consistently towards your goal - with room for experimentation along the way.
