According to Tricia

According to Tricia...that's me  "Your kids have a life, why don't you"
So I started TriciaTv, an on-line network to showcase amazing kids and adults that are doing great things with their lives.  I like to go beyond the ordinary.  I feel that life is too short to let opportunities, dreams and desires slip away without even giving it a try.  Today, I have a message to all those moms (and everyone else can take notes too) out there who recognize me in public and ask me things like "How do you do it" or "Where do you find the time" and my favorite "I have a 5 year old son who takes up all my time".  Really?  Your kids are precious gifts from God but so is your own life!  There's a way to make your dreams a reality too.  It's called balance, but I'm not saying it's easy.

You should start off by inspiring YOURSELF first and then put together a game plan.  Take small steps, don't try and do everything all at once.  Stay focused and most of all don't give up.  It's not going to happen overnight and you may stumble along the way.

So I've made many mistakes in trying to get to my goal.  My biggest mistake was spending way too much money and time on creating a T-Shirt line for ToddleWood without any expert help.  I think I was doing too much.  I just didn't know the apparel business.  I mean really!  My background is advertising and photography.  Where do I come off thinking I'm going to make ToddleWood the next Calvin Klein or Juicy Couture for kids without someone who has done it before?

I licked my wounds and went back to focusing on photography and marketing.  Let's be clear, ToddleWood WILL be it's own apparel line and more one day but I'll wait for the right partners for that.  In the meantime, I'm enjoying shooting, meeting amazing people and building my brands.

All this to say that, anything is possible, don't give up if it doesn't happen right away and do your homework.  And please "Get Your Life"  :)
