To be good, one must practice. To be great, one must practice, practice again then keep practicing until the skill becomes an automated part of you. This is the theme for my week. It has permeated my thoughts so deeply that I feel compelled to share this advice with you. The Good Lord our Creator in the Heavens blessed me with many gifts. Gifts are great! They help narrow the scope of which path we walk while on this planet and in this life. Gifts can make getting started simpler. Gifts cannot take us all the way to a full career however, for this, we must practice, practice, practice our gift. Whatever lies in your heart may be a part of you at the beginning, but to truly come into your gifts, you must own them and practice until they are embedded into your soul’s mission. For me this means photo shoot after photo shoot, weekly pose practice, voice lessons, acting coaching, recording sessions, exercise, eating well and daily writing. This is my week. It is structured in such a way that I can still fit in appointments and medical treatments and rest and stick with it. Why? Because practice is essential to success. Consistently applied action is getting me where I never have been and where I always wanted to be. This little girl from rural America is now poised to leap into a national brand campaign with a large whirlwind future. Practice is hard. It takes dedication and discipline. Practice is worth every minute. So much is learned about skills, myself, the industry and those with whom I work through practice. My vision, my dreams and my gifts come together into one uniquely me package. It is my hope that my continued practice and dedication will lead me to places I have always wanted to go and will lead you to your dreams too. Thank you for taking the time to read this and keep practicing. Much love to you all. Until next time … Ann Baker Model www.Ann-Baker.com Instagram @AnnBakerModel Photographer: me!
