His awesome upcoming Wedding Photography Summit. How persistence landed him Gary Vee Jai Long’s 3 implementable things to level up your business or pockets:  Don’t forget about your customer database - they already love what you do.   Stop sitting on the sidelines. Get to work and build your worth.  Blaze your own path. Don’t follow or compare, lead.  My biggest takeaway  I’d say my biggest takeaway from this awesome conversation was the power of just doing. Jai shows the value of getting out there and making your ideas a reality. Not waiting for a perfect moment or spending so much of your time carefully crafting everything to perfection. While you’re planning, someone else might be out there reaping your rewards.  Links mentioned in the show Wedding photography summit: https://weddingphotographysummit.com/  Jai’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jailong.co/ Jai’s Website: https://jailong.co/  Jai’s podcast: https://jailong.co/category/podcast/  Free the Bird Wedding photography: https://www.freethebird.com.au/
