#20 Making Mistakes with Jacek Bak
Manage episode 331123150 series 3303403
Jacek Bak is a corporate photographer hailing from our hometown in Perth who has built his business up in three different cities over its lifetime.
He's a great networker, having to build a customer base not once but three times, and he's a big believer in making mistakes.
"If you're not making mistakes then you're not learning lessons," he says.
In this episode of The Committed Creative podcast, Carmen chats to Jacek about:
- why getting outside of your comfort zone never feels good but always leads you somewhere rewarding.
- establishing a nest egg to get you through lean times.
- how you should seek out mentors early on to motivate you - don't be afraid to ask the people who inspire you out for a coffee!
- that mistakes are to be admired because you're learning.
- how being prepared in business is the key to success.
- why consistent branding is so important to develop a strong business.
- how little achievements and customer feedback should be cherished so momentum can be maintained.
- how the freedom of running your own business can't be beaten - and why photography is something Jacek will never get bored of.
You can find Jacek over on his website and on Instagram.
