Everyone is necessarily the hero of his own life's story.

Dear   ,

 
Relationships. We love them, loath them, need them and avoid them.  There are coaches to rebuild them and help us establish them in the first place.  This is a big word in the human life.
 
Even those non-humans that we build relationships with can be very important to us.  We just yesterday lost our "Cog"...I should explain:  We called our feline family member, Bert, by that fictitious species name, since he resembled a cat but acted much more like a dog!  So, it is a sad day here at the ranch; a big personality in a little package is missed.
 
Building healthy relationships human and furry beings alike inevitably leads to a healthier, happier and more successful life.  Creating a relationship with a camera, however...  If it's not alive, how in the world can you do that?
 
That's this week's article topic!   I share with you one of my techniques for helping people understand and appreciate the camera lens like they never have before.  It's easy, and actually pretty fun.

Three Simple Steps to Warm Up to a Cold Camera Lens
 
Do you find it easier to talk to people than relate to a camera?  Many people are accustomed to seeing that immediate feedback or even a simple nod of understanding from a live audience. An expressionless dark lens, however, is outside the comfort zone for many! 
 
So how can you develop a new zone of comfort and deliver a warm and charisma-filled message directly to a cold, dark lens?
 
It requires a mind set change. It's easier than you might think!  
 
You can accomplish this in three steps:
 
Step One: Think about someone that you have helped with your product, or service.  Is there a person whose life is changed for the better because of you? Get specific and choose just one individual that made you feel fantastic because the results were so good.
 
Step Two:  Now get really detailed.  Remember the exact moment of their breakthrough or their highest moment of happiness.  What was it like?  Were they grateful?  What did they say?

Bert (official name was Bert-a-la-meux) was very people-loving. This was often the first thing I'd see when I opened my eyes... extreme close-up! Our little friends can be such blessings. If you have pets, give them an extra pat today.
