Back to Costa Rica again, when the very last night there (actually a few hours from my flight back home!) I was able to see the beautiful rufous-eyed brook frog (Duellmanohyla rufioculis) endemic to Costa Rica and possibly Panama. Its populations are threatened by habitat loss but still believed to be rather stable. #duellmanohyla #costarica #picoftheday #frog #treefrog #amphibian #conservation #wildlife #macro #photography #nikonz9 #godoxflash #herping #herpingtheglobe #herps @ilcp_photographers (at Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cihym-2Kcgl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

6 years ago.. 
These were the goals I had put on my wall
At that time I still lived in my old parent’s house
I just started my photography business and I decided to write my goals on the post-it notes 📝
In the same moment, feelings of..
Euphoria, excitement and a dose of “holy sh*t I have no f^cking clue how to make any of this happen” came up..
But I took on the challenge and I wrote 5 down
🥂Paying off my parents debt
🧲 Getting clients with no FB Ads, SEO, or a website
💸 6 figures
💰10k months
🏝 Financial Freedom
11 months after I wrote each of these down
They all came true ✨
I don’t remember who it was that told me
But I heard it somewhere…
“Write your goals down and look at them every single day as an accomplished fact and you will be so much more likely to accomplish them”
And I am glad I listened 🥂
It really DID work ✅
But I also DID the work, and gave it my all so it paid off
I see a lot of photographers getting stuck in the starting phases of their business..
Or never breaking above 6 figures…
Because the truth is:
They don’t want success bad enough
They find comfort in playing small
They want to feel sorry for themselves just to gain sympathy from people because they are “struggling” (sorry, tough love - you have to ditch the victim mentality 🖤)
They let fear and their insecurities hold them back
On this picture
All you can see Is the post-it notes 🗒
So you go
“WOW Alex, you accomplished this fast and, easy”
But don’t for a second think that I didn’t have any of these fears ☝🏼
I did
I just didn’t let them stop me
I made fear my bi*ch
And today I am calling you to make YOUR fear your bi*ch
Get 5 post it notes 🗒
Or 5 pieces or paper
(Just find something, I don’t care)
❌❌❌ no you can’t save the post for later, because you WON’T DO IT LATER (I’ll kick you over the phone, go do it now ☝🏼)
Now write down all of your goals for the year
And get to work because how successful you become this photography season… is entirely in your hands ✅🥂
I hope you do this
It was one of the things that I did when I began changing my life so fast ✨
PS: I if there are any other photographers who desire to hit 6 figures this year, but if you don’t know where to start or what to do to get clients, send me a message here, or on Instagram @alexandrojade I’d gladly help you out!
(This should be linked to take you to my IG page ☝🏼 cannot wait to say HII to you! ☺️)

Where did all the birds go?? by Debbie Meader
Via Flickr:
All of the birds that were feeding in our yard took flight or cover from the Juvenile Cooper's Hawk! The Coop landed on our railing for a brief rest on a very foggy morning. It was very queit with no birds singing or chattering, until the Coop left the area!
