When talking about my story about how I transitioned to do what I do, I get a lot of questions asking me about how to quit your job and follow your passions, or create a life you love or become a full time creator.
Whether you're looking to quit your job and start a business, or you want to pursue your creative passions, or you're even just looking for a little more freedom in your life, this video details my approach to Lifestyle Design and how I made the transition from Product Designer, to being 100% in control of all aspects of my life.
I hope it helps and inspires you to make your own moves.

Pat I am a 55 year old father of three girls, married for 30 years and a director in my company. If I knew what I know today about photography, I would in a heartbeat give it all up and follow my heart. What you say is exactly what I preach to my girls, and any young adult who is interested in a travel photography. Get your SHIT together and aim for the stars. Good luck with your future, you going to be a world class photographer and a very successful man. Keep running...

What's stopping you from doing that now, Tony? I say that with the utmost care, of course I don't know you life nor it's demands and constraints but I'd hope you find some way of creative expression beyond what your job may demand. A photographer at any capacity has the potential to find and change, add, or take some aspect of our world some may never see and deliver it to us; look what you've help create in 55 years on this Earth, now imagine what you can do with the next 10 or 20 years. With the application of your given experience I'd imagine you have a lot to say. Best wishes.

I'm a young father (34) with 2 little kids (5 and 1). Would you really give it all up to pursue a dream with zero guarantee that you could provide for your family? I'm a guitarist and I love music and creating my own music, but I would never think of quitting my day job. Maybe photography is different, I'm literally just getting into it.

This is the most realistic take I've seen on this topic. I've seen COUNTLESS tweets lately from professional photographers saying "just quit your job!" and implying in the replies that if you love photography, the money will come. Your first point is one that I've never seen anyone say. BEFORE you quit your job, GIT GUD SCRUB.

@@patkay it would be nice to hear from you how you evaluate your work in "price points" for products /services... Seeing that you are able to work for various countries that have different price range. So, I think it would be useful to know how to organize a price range and stick with it regardless of various clients all over the world. How do you earn money at the level you want ( knowing how much you worth) and how you evaluate yourself, putting a fair price based on your level. Also, how do you think is the best way to promote yourself in a worldwide industry. Thank you for all your precious videos. You answered so many questions that I had in my head and didn't know how to start with.

Great information. I went through all of those steps over the course of 21 years (including going back to college), all to jump into my dream as a B&B owner, which came crashing down within 3 years time during the 2008 recession. During the pandemic (after being laid off from my job) I took up watercolor painting. So here I am. Again. But now I’m 65. It’s hard to know WHAT I want. I have sold many paintings, but it’s not repeatable. This video was a fantastic reminder of what I must hold myself accountable to IF I want to make a self-sustaining living as an artist. Time will tell.

I would love to know what were those first “repeatable incomes” that helped you build traction. And which income streams did you experiment with in your “octopus method” until you found the ones that work for you. Again much thanks this video really helped me set goals and find my sense of direction.

The best way to train is to shoot every single day for at least an hour. Then critique your photos and find your style through trial and error. But to supplement that, “mastering composition” by Richard Garvey Williams was the most helpful book for me. If you’re using controlled lighting in studio sessions then get “light science and magic” Editing was tough to learn the software and workflow tips and tricks so an online course where you can follow an instructor along and edit might be best. But all of this is useless if you’re not getting out there and shooting constantly. And when you get a good picture really study the composition techniques you can apply to get those results again.

Yes, it’s important to find the direction you want to go without looking at what society think about what successful should be 😊

Just the video I need. A good wake up call for me. Gotta hustle a whole lot more in order to leave the job I hate, and live a life that I love. Insightful as always Pat, thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video! I’m a industrial designer and I want to make the leap into being a full-time artist. Your video has helped me see the possibility and create a blueprint that is doable. Thank you Pat!! This video is the most valuable video on KZfaq! Anabell 😊

Really related to your story Pat. Coming from the medical profession but not finding the joy or fulfillment originally thought after 5 years. You give realistic expectations and advice from transitioning from a typical rat race job to a self employed full time photographer are both relatable and realistic for professionals looking for a change.

Thanks Pat for this inspiring video. I do print-on-demand and illustration but it was still valuable info for me. You’re so brave! Wish you all the best!

Great and sensible advice, an emergency fund is so important. Ive been on my path to designing my life for a couple of years now, this was very helpful. Thanks

I really enjoyed this. I feel like my issue is not knowing what my passions are. I feel like once I nail that then the sky's the limit...

Wow this is such a great talk, I think this can be applied to any career / dream one has. I too have a dream and its not photography, but I am sure I can use the same formula to make it happen. Thx for sharing and the very sensible talk.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I am also planning to become a travel photographer myself. I ran into different jobs after high school. I started a few businesses in my late 20, but it didn't go well. And I get into UI five years ago and working as a UI designer now. Yes, Planning is so important, I am saving money, Horning my photography skills. Go out and photoshoot every weekend. The part about making the work outstanding needs a lot of try and error, and many times for practice. I start my photography journey in Dec 2019 and after a year of learning, I start to get more ideas about colors, my preference, and so call my style. most important I am starting to create a system for my work. After I watched this video, I know I need to pull in more effort into photography, you are one of the professionals I am looking up to. Let's hope someday I am skillful enough to do some photography or video with you. lol Once again, Thanks man~
