This is what a client had to say when she did her session last Valentine’s:  “I wanted to give my husband something special. So I thought doing a boudoir session  was the way to go.  I was anxious to do the session at first because I’ve never done anything this  bold before.  But Gurpreet made me feel really comfortable before and during the session.  She helped me with various sexy poses and she was very creative with her props.  After a while I forgot I was being photographed because I was having so much fun and I felt in touch with my inner goddess.
I was not sure how the pictures where going to come out but I was so amazed when I saw the final product.  They came out tasteful and classy and Gurpreet captured the female sexiness I did not know I had.  But the most priceless thing out of this experience is seeing the satisfied look on my husband’s  face when he saw the pictures.  This is an experience that women should have no matter which phase of your life they’re in.”

Valentines Boudoir Photography Event

I’ve spoken about this briefly earlier; Bono is an amazing singer and there are several thousands of singers out there. Do you ever wonder though what about him makes him stand out amongst the rest of the crowd?  What about him has brought him international fame and adoration from millions of fans, some of whom waited patiently for well over two years following his back injury just to see him and the rest of the U2 band perform?

It’s because he has a message that he stands by! He is politically and socially active and uses his celebrity status to help bring meaningful change to millions of people throughout the world.  When you have a message that propels you day in and day out, it gives you permission to excel and exceed.

Do you have a message that you live by in your personal life?

Bono and branding

How can I not talk about Bono and branding! When I was at the concert, I got to see the brand in action. Let’s face it, Bono is a singer and there are thousands of singers on this planet. How does he differentiate himself? Well, it has a lot to do with his message (more on that later) but also his style too. Let’s be honest, I’m sure he doesn’t wear those  trademark glasses on the account of his poor eyesight. They might have a practical purpose, to protect his eyes from the harsh lights during concerts, but he has embraced it as his look!

As a business, you need to brand yourself! It does not primarily have to do with the way you dress, but the overall message you send out is in sync with you as a person. There is no more powerful brand than you, yourself! I am learning this. I had a couple of client pictures on the panoramic profile on my facebook business page, but with the encouragement of other successful solopreneurs, I realized that it is about branding yourself!

Going to a U2 concert was on my husband’s bucket list! So this year, we checked it off…. and here’s the double whammy… I returned from the concert extremely inspired!. It might also have been something to do with the fact that Bono was performing at an arms length from where I was. To say that the show was a feast for my visual and auditory senses is an understatement.

I stood there mesmerized thinking that Bono is not just a singer or performer, he is a revolution. He has a core message that he believes in and has gained a worldwide followiing as a direct result. Our tickets were for general field admission which meant that it guaranteed you admission into the venue but not a spcific spot.  Several thousand fans, including my husband and I, waited for hours outside the stadium just to score a “decent” spot…the stadium holds a TON of people (68,0000 to be exact) and sure enough was packed to the capacity by the time Bono and the crew walked onto the stage.

I enjoyed the show as a fan but as the evening kept unfolding before my eyes and ears,  the artist and entrepreneur in me surfaced. I watched as Bono engaged with his fans and the audience, he kept it interesting and yet true to himself and his style. He was backed by an excellent team and he acknowledged them throughout the show.  Clearly, he wasn’t hungry for the spot light and didn’t  want to hog the limelight all to himself!

For the next couple of days, I will be talking about the different things that I realized in this one evening!
As an artist who is also an entrepreneur or for that matter any kind of entrepreneur, how do you engage with your community, how do you keep your followers engaged?

These sisters had  uncontrollable fun during the photo session, I just became a part of it! As you can see, both of them are extremely expressive!!!
