If you’re going to be in it. Be in it for life. Don’t underestimate the power of time. And don’t underestimate the power of doing as little as one project per year. I didn’t realize how much of a rush I was in when I first started. So desperate to make a name for myself in my twenties, I rushed passed all my projects as if it was a matter of life or death - but I was on the short end of the stick. Never doing as good of a job as I could. Jumping from one thing to another. Now I’m 30 and I’m just learning the power of patience. Of getting only a handful of great photos in a year. But knowing that they are exactly the handful that I need.

Commit.
