This post isn't a judgment on the underprivileged, or a suggestion that we all move into gated communities. It is about how to succeed. Who you surround yourself with, according to psychologists, affects how successful you’ll be. The same’s true for who you emulate or seek advice from. If you want a happy family, check out someone who has one. If you want to be wealthy, ask a rich person – not a financial advisor (not the same), and not a poor person either. Unless of course you want a list of what not to do. The internet delivers to us the best and the worst of all advice. I can’t count how many times times I’ve seen people posting questions on forums and getting answers from peers that demonstrate limited, and at times questionable, experience. Good judgment often comes as a result of bad judgment, but when you’re in business that sometimes comes at a price.  Don’t act on business advice from anybody who doesn't have much experience, who isn’t successful, and doesn't have your interests at heart. I work on the principle of having a narrow but very deep supply chain, for my personal life, and for Queensberry. We surround ourselves with the best of suppliers and mentors in all areas, and we listen closely to our customers. For us to succeed has required forming alliances with people who understand us, whom we can trust, and who demonstrate excellence. After all we want these people to add value to our lives. Queensberry has been sharing close relationships with professional photographers around the world for over forty years. If we're on the same wavelength, and you want help with your business, we're always happy to help. We have a talented team in many areas, including business development, sales and marketing, IT, HR, design and photography. And you can trust what we say, because if you don't succeed, we can't. Cheers, Heather
