I had to prove everyone wrong! I don’t even know who everyone was? Nobody was saying I couldn’t. But somewhere deep inside, I could feel the doubt. “What a great skill to have for your kids” I kept hearing. I felt as if what they were really saying was; “this isn’t going to work but at least when it’s all over you’ll be able to take better pictures of your kids”. I didn’t hear anyone seeming to believe that this could really be a successful, viable, and respectable business. But they don’t know Leah Remillet, the way I do. Cause I’m me and I know that if someone say’s that I can’t, they pretty much just willed it to happen for me.
The no sugar coating cliff notes is this… I was going for pro and I believed that I wasn’t the only one. I knew in my heart that I could do this! I could be a mommy by day, entrepreneur by night and a real professional photographer sprinkled throughout and have a rock’n marriage to boot. And I was determined to make the kind of money that people gawk at, but it would be on my terms.
To many people judge success only through profits. But my success is defined three fold, through profit, passion and purpose. Part of my purpose manifests through Go{4}Pro. I believe we can do this and if you do too, I want to help you! Because of this, you’ll find essential ‘thriving tools’ through the shop, blog, business coaching and my free Thrive Newsletter.
With a purpose for passion and a no tolerance rule for rudeness in the name of “competition” Go{4}Pro began in tandem with Leah Remillet Photography in 2008.
In just over one year, LRP went from portfolio building to an average client investment of $1,000 to $3,000 I have created a boutique business philosophy, focusing on the clients experience. My photography has been published as the cover of 3 magazines and I have taught and been featured through workshops, web events and other photography sites.
My philosophy is simple and it’s defined by my 3 P’s: Purpose, Passion and Profits. My purpose on this earth is first and foremost as a wife, mommy and daughter of God. My passion is as a teacher, entrepreneur and artist. And I believe whole heartedly in working less and living way more and that means profitability. This life is for thriving!
