#64 - 5 insights from Tony Robbins' UPW seminar for photographers and entrepreneurs

Last week I sat in an arena in Cologne with 15,000 people, at Tony Robbins' seminar Unleash the Power Within. Four days, from early morning until late at night, together with five other entrepreneurial women from my Female Leaders club.In this episode I take you through five insights I brought home from there, and they apply just as much to your photography practice as to your life. Pattern recognition, and how a pattern of carelessness once got me stuck in a long insurance case. Repetition is the mother of all mastery, and why talent matters far less than the reps you put in. Proximity is power, and why the people around you help decide how far you get. Where focus goes, energy flows, something I even feel when I take a bend on my bike in the Alps. And peak state, and how you can shift it in a snap.Do you find this kind of insight useful? Let me know, because there might be a part two coming.What you'll learn in this episodeWhat pattern recognition is, and how a pattern of carelessness once got Kaat stuck in a long insurance case around the Edward Bertels exhibitionWhy "repetition is the mother of all mastery" and how reps, not talent, make the difference between photographers who keep growing and photographers who get stuckWhat "complexity is the enemy of execution" means, and why you need to break big goals into pieces to actually get them doneWhy "proximity is power" and how the people around you, personally and professionally, help decide how far you getHow "where focus goes, energy flows" works, with a concrete example from cycling about taking a bend downhillWhat a "peak state" is and how you can train it with a simple ten-minute morning exerciseFree masterclass, five patterns of successful photographersWhich patterns keep showing up in successful photographers?
