Small Business Owners gamble on themselves every day! Sep 26, 2018

Show notes

Yesterday while working on my latest online class it struck me that I must have a lot of faith in myself and my work. I'm investing so much time into the latest class. For all that time invested I'm not even certain about what the return will be. But you know what? I believe in the projects I do. I have to, I'm responsible for growing this business after all! Today we talk about the leap of faith small business owners take every day! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Do you care about smart phone specs? How about photo rules? Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

Today is tech talk Tuesday, and we've got 2 subjects today. First, do you care about smartphone specs at all? Do you just want it to work, and so long as it does the specifications don't matter? That's the camp I fall into. Our second topic for today. Do photography rules mean what they did 20 years ago? Probably not. The size and format of your final images are all over the place these days, so maybe it's time to rethink some of those rules. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Too old for the Internet? Too old for Tech? No, not at all Sep 24, 2018

Show notes

I often hear from park and resort owners that their target customer base is too old to use the Internet, and too old for tech. That's just not right at all, and today we'll talk about that. Remember, if you're 65 today you were only 40 when the net became really popular. So I know you know about it. And I know you're using the net to find goods and services. I believe in you, Amazon believes in you, but smaller businesses sometimes don't believe in you! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

RV Travelers - Slow down and enjoy where you are. Sep 21, 2018

Show notes

This is a recurring theme for me. When I started traveling with my Airstream in 2006 it felt like a race across the country. I was tired from long driving days, and I missed out on a lot. And the moment I slowed it down a bit? Yeah, so much more enjoyment. If you're a full time RV'er ask yourself this. "Why am I in a rush?" If you don't have a good answer, maybe it's time to slow down a little. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Software Updates - They're part of daily life! Sep 20, 2018

Show notes

There always seems to be one type of software update or other waiting for us. Our smartphones seem to be getting constantly updated for apps or OS. Our computers are always crying out about this over due update or that one. And our websites often need regular attention as well. Every day I feel like I have one update or other to do! This is a universal thing if you're a tech user. You don't need to be a full time RV'er to experience this. And today we'll talk all about updates. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Landscape Photography - Phones, Drones, DSLRs and More! Sep 19, 2018

Show notes

Today I start into my next class for Udemy. A full landscape photography class covering the primary cameras we're all using these days. Phones, Drones, Mirrorless Cameras, and DSLRs. No matter what you're shooting with, I'll be covering it in this upcoming course. For my highly mobile audience... Doing these courses is part of my job from my RV. Getting creative about revenue streams is key to full time RV'ing. So hopefully the work I've been sharing here will be of interest to you! •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Tech Talk Tuesday - iOS 12 & Enjoying your work Sep 18, 2018

Show notes

Everybody has been talking about the Apple Keynote, the new iPhones, and iOS 12. Yesterday I went ahead and updated my phone and iPad. A little unnerving, but so far it's working well. What's the one feature that I'm excited about? Listen in. The second part of today's podcast talks about running a business out of your RV, and how some people devalue your work because it looks like "fun" to them. Seriously, you have no idea how often people discount what it is you do if you're not parked in an office or cubicle all day! •See what I spent over 5 hours on yesterday that I'm not getting paid for yet: https://bit.ly/2OBbjwC •My weekly blog wrap up talking about my work for the previous week: https://bit.ly/2QFsvCw •Want to learn how to edit and manage your photos with Lightroom: https://bit.ly/2PO0ish •Learn how to build your own business class websites: https://bit.ly/2QAoejP •Photography for drone pilots: https://bit.ly/2wx0Rz9

Sometimes even Internet presence can't get you found. Sep 17, 2018

Show notes

Building your business in the middle of nowhere doesn't sound like a great idea. Building a business in the middle of nowhere with no amenities around even sounds worse. Sometimes not even Internet presence can fix things for you if nobody is searching for you. There's got to be a reason why someone is searching for you, and if you don't provide them any reasons it's going to be a tough sell. •Share better travel images with Lightroom - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Camping Stories - The Vermillion Cliffs & Grand Staircase Sep 14, 2018

Show notes

It's Friday!!! And on Fridays my thoughts often turn to travel. Today we'll talk about an amazing set of locations. The Vermillion Cliffs and The Grand Staircase. Most likely you've seen images from both locations, but never knew their names. Not the most convenient places to RV, but amazing places to explore! •Images from the Vermillion Cliffs: https://bit.ly/2xiaDFb •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.

Apple's Keynote 2018 and Instagram Images - Mobile Tech Talk Sep 13, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode recaps yesterday's Apple Keynote 2018. Was there anything super interesting to me when it comes to mobile tech for my Full Time Airstream Living? Also on today's show I talk about businesses re-using Instagram photos from other Instagramers. For some reason channels built on other people's photos bothers me. If someone is promoting their business with your images, does that bother you too? •Check out my Drone Photography Course - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2Q9Y1Zo •Learn Lightroom Classic - Only $10 for listeners: https://bit.ly/2NDHSNj •Learn to build websites with X Theme and Wordpress.
