Short story and it may help you, but probably not since most of you are significantly more successful than I am.
A year ago I competed for the first time in 4 years in jujitsu. Won my tournament and my neck had me feeling dizzy for weeks after to where I couldn't go to work. Nothing new but debilitating every time it would flare up like that. I got messages of a photographer wanting to work with me because one of his models cancelled. I found his messages on Instagram and facetimed him, 12 hours later I flew out and had an amazing time in Vegas even with my neck not allowing me to work my full time job I was still able to make money with this opportunity. I have always believed in saying yes (when you can) to opportunities.
Flash forward a year later and this same guy is giving me an opportunity to perform some cyber security for one of his companies for potentially 3 months if the board interview goes well (Photography is a hobby for him.) This opportunity just came up for me so I will be traveling Sunday-Wednesday to Sacramento to go drive down to Monterey. Anyways this will be great for my resume and reminds me to always say yes!
He took these photos in Vegas btw!
