Introducing our New Vision: Passionately Pursuing the Life WE Deserve to Inspire YOU to Pursue Yours
Are You Living the Life of Your Dreams or the Life You Deserve?
When people find out that we travel around taking pictures for a living, the consistent answer is some version of “OMG it’s always been my dream to travel!”
And it’s true – the story of how we got started, the sacrifices we made to get here, and the realities of a nomad lifestyle are indeed the stuff of dreams. But what many people don’t realize is that our dream life didn’t just manifest one day. It wasn’t handed to us on a silver platter. We had to work hard and make some tough decisions to get here. And even now, we continue to work hard every day to maintain and grow our business.
That’s why we’re excited to share our new vision with you: the mission of Vision Quest, LTD is to passionately and publicly pursue the life we deserve, to inspire others to pursue the life of their dreams. We want to show you that you can create the life you want – but it takes hard work, dedication, and a willingness to take risks. So let’s dive in and explore what this new vision means for us and for you.
We blew past Living the Dream years ago so now we want to share the lessons we have learned along the way.
Professional Photography
Marketing is constantly evolving. Customers trust organic content more than overly polished ads. Traditional photography will always be important but customers crave authenticity.
We are leading the industry by combining traditional photography with organic content creation for Hospitality, Consumer Products, and Real Estate.
Home/Travel Balance
Traveling for a living sounds amazing but there are pro’s and con’s to choosing a travel lifestyle.
I’ve lived out of a suitcase of some sort since I left for flight attendant training at 21. That’s lots of lessons learned, lots of mishaps and lots of near misses.
We will share tips about our Rhythm of the Road and the Small House lifestyle that allows it to work.
Sustainable Systems
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Sanity comes from having systems that we can SUSTAIN and DUPLICATE for predictable long term success.
We’ve both been successful before…we just didn’t sustain it in the past. Learn from our lessons of building successful AND sustainable business.
Grown Up Guide to LTD
We constantly re-evaluate the aspects of OUR version of Living the Dream.
We document every step of the process of constantly refining and redefining what it means to live our dream.
That means being brutally honest about the challenges we face along the way and the framework we use to face those challenges.
Get to No University
