Morgan Nesbitt Everyone's story is different and unique, I just want to share mine through the thought-provoking ph

For years i thought that there was a specific way that i had to walk through this life. Society told me that i had to go to school, get an education and decide what i wanted to do for a career, then go to university to further educate myself in this career choice or get an apprenticeship, then get a job in that chosen career path where i would be trapped despite my happiness and sanity until I'm

old and grey. I fell victim to the boundaries society restricted me to for years and i found as the years went on i gradually felt very unsatisfied with what life had to offer. What i realised through good and even more so bad life experiences is that i don't need to walk through life following the social normalities of life, i can actually create a different journey and live a life i have always wanted... so thats what i started doing

Creativity will get people to notice you.

Business skills are what keep you in business.

I used to think becoming better at filming, editing, photography, and storytelling was the answer to growing my business. And while those things absolutely matter, they weren’t the thing holding me back.

Learning how to sell.
Learning how to market.
Learning how to communicate value.
Learning how to price properly.
Learning how to manage clients.
Learning how to build systems.
Learning how to lead.

Those were the skills that actually changed everything.

The hard truth is that there are incredibly talented creatives struggling to pay the bills, while less talented creatives build thriving businesses because they understand business.

Your camera doesn’t close deals.
Your colour grade doesn’t generate referrals.
Your editing timeline doesn’t build a sustainable company.

People buy confidence, trust, professionalism, and solutions to their problems.

Don’t stop improving your craft, it deserves your attention. But if you want your business to grow, spend just as much time learning business as you do learning creativity.

Because talent might get you through the door.

Business knowledge is what builds the house.

It’s funny how the things that knock you down can also introduce you to the people you needed to meet.

Sometimes the struggle isn’t there to isolate you. Sometimes it’s there to make you look up and realise someone else has been carrying the same weight.

That’s how I ended up linking up with Bruce

We spent the morning on Saturday wandering through the streets of Perth with cameras in hand, but the photos almost became secondary. We talked about life, creativity, business, purpose, the seasons where you lose your spark, and what it takes to find it again.

There’s something reassuring about hearing someone else put words to thoughts you’ve been trying to untangle yourself. It reminds you that you’re not the only one questioning things, recalibrating, or trying to build a life that feels meaningful

Maybe that’s the hidden gift in the hard seasons. They have a way of bringing like-minded people together, and a simple walk through the city ends up giving you exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

Thanks for hanging!

Winter makes Perth feel like a different city.

The streets get quieter. The sky hangs a little lower. The lights stay on a little longer. Everyone’s trying to get somewhere warm while the cold settles

There’s something honest this city, it isn’t trying to impress anyone. Just wet roads, empty streets, old shopfronts glowing against the grey, and the feeling that every stranger is carrying a story you’ll never hear.

And maybe that’s enough.

Tough week at the office….

One of the hardest parts of running a business isn’t finding clients.

It’s hearing that something you delivered missed the mark.

No matter how much effort you put in, negative feedback still stings. Your first instinct is to explain yourself, defend your decisions, or convince them they just don’t understand.

I’ve learned that’s usually your ego talking.

The moment you put your ego to the side, everything changes.

Instead of asking, “How do I prove I’m right?” you start asking, “How do I make this right?”

That doesn’t mean every piece of feedback is fair. But even when it isn’t, there’s almost always something to learn from it.

I’ve had feedback that left me feeling frustrated, embarrassed, and questioning my abilities. But once the emotion settled, those moments became some of the biggest turning points in how I communicate, how I deliver work, and how I run my business.

Growth rarely feels good while you’re in it.

Sometimes the lessons that improve your business the most are the ones you’d never choose to experience.

Take the hit. Learn the lesson. Keep moving.

Your next piece of work doesn’t have to carry the weight of your last mistake.

Hold back the day ☀️

Some mornings make you want to slow time down.

Watching the sun climb over the horizon through a drone lens always reminds me how quickly the day gets away from us. Before the emails. Before the deadlines. Before the noise.

If I could, I’d hold back the day for just a little longer.

Long enough to appreciate the quiet.

Maybe that’s what chasing sunrises is really about, not getting the shot, but stealing a few extra moments before the world speeds up again.

Hold back the day.
Even if it’s only for a sunrise.

Life recently…

A bit of work. A bit of home. A few cameras. A few hot chocs. Time with people I care about. Long days. Quiet moments. Small wins that probably wouldn’t mean much to anyone else. Progress that I don’t really see…

For a long time, I felt like I had to be “all in” on work every single day. If I wasn’t producing, I felt guilty. If I slowed down, I felt like I was falling behind.

Ultimately that led to some pretty horrible burnout

But I’ve realised there’s a difference between building a business and letting it consume your life.

I’m trying to build something that gives me the freedom to enjoy the people, places, and things that inspired me to start in the first place which hopefully will help me just enjoy my life as well

Some weeks that balance is messy. Some weeks work wins. Other weeks life needs more of my attention. And that’s okay.

So here’s to appreciating where I’m at, and where you’re at, staying patient with where I’m going, and making sure I don’t get so caught up chasing the next milestone that I forget to enjoy the one I’m standing in.

Stay the course 🧭

It’s good to get out of the office every once and a while… didn’t enjoy the heat but managed to get some work done and I also managed to get this vlog off my hard drive and on the gram after a few months 🥷
