You Don’t Have To Be Good To Get Started
But you have to get started to be good.
Starting any new endeavor is scary. Whether that is starting a business, opening an Etsy shop, writing a blog, or starting a YouTube channel, it’s all scary stuff. I talk to a lot of women who want to make a big leap of faith and start an entrepreneurial journey. One of the most common things I hear them say is, “I am not good enough at it yet to really put myself out there.” They put off starting something that could be life changing simply because they don’t think they have what it takes to get started and be successful. They look at the skills and talent of people they admire, and mistakenly believe that they can’t have that same success unless they are as skilled as those people.

It's why some people choose to hire a photographer instead of trying to take their own portraits. However, not everyone has the budget for costly photography. So, without people to model for you, or a photographer to take your photos, how do you get beautiful photos of yourself for Instagram?
