005: How to avoid undercharging yourself as a professional creative, combining art with entrepreneurship, where to get clients from and what it's like to work with modeling agencies as a professional photographer.

The Global Yuppie Style Podcast

Alecia Lindsay is a professional Los Angeles fashion photographer and entrepreneur.

ALECIA'S NUGGET OF WISDOM:

"Sometimes, it seems like you don't know what you want to do, but it is right in front of you and just takes time for you to find it."

"I love to take on things I don't know how to do. I love the whole process of trying them, sticking with them, working my way through each challenge and seeing what I am capable of."

"Most entrepreneurs/creatives when starting out with their own business, should always charge a bit out of your comfort zone."

BEST CHALLENGE TACKLER:

"Keep trying things, keep plugging through and don't give up. You'll find it and don't forget to enjoy the ride."

"Don't quite. See what you want in live. Then, write it down. Spread it wherever you are going to see it and don't forget what it is. Keep it in the forefront of your mind and everything that you do kind of needs to work towards it in one way or another."
