1/26/2018 0 Comments Dianna Prince 2018I have one ultimate goal. It consists of several smaller, and even smaller goals. It's a plan, a serious plan. All the success I've had thus far came from the smaller goals. They each had to be achieved, one by one individually, to add up to the success of this ultimate goal. Some of the smaller goals I achieved weren't actually small. They all took serious dedication, knowledge, skill, time and money. Every single one! So they're all very much accomplishments within themselves. My ultimate goal can not be achieved unless I continue with achieving several other goals 1st. I'd say I'm pretty close to achieving this major goal. However not close enough. As i head into my 5th year as a pinup, my outlook and focus is completely different, than years ago. People can set goals, achieve and be proud of them. Yet those goals are merely celebrated only, not an actual key element to a bigger goal, a plan which requires those smaller goals to be achieved. For me, not only do I seriously value accomplishing every goal I set, they are all key elements to man or success! I must remember all of that, and as brash as it may sound, I must continue to seek inspiration from vintage starlets and models, and not seek it from those around me. My academy is fabulous, it has very little to do with my career as a pro pinup and vintage model. Although, my success as a pinup has everything to do with, and heavily effects my academy. My career as a pinup, and the success I've had, has everything to do with me! My drive, my dedication, my talent, and without a doubt came from working with actual, factual PROFESSINALS!!!!! I get caught up focusing on my academy, which pays me. I get caught up on my columns, and articles I must write monthly, in a few magazines. I also must focus on my upcoming shoots, planning them, and doing them. Then there's submitting my own images, following up, release forms, etc. I get caught up researching, blogging, promoting, every single day! What I MUST remember, the overall plan, the big picture, the ultimate dream, can't and won't happen with me focusing on all the above! As well as taking the time to concentrate on planning my goals, my shoots, my career as a pinup. Right now folks what I need the most is covers, full features done on me listing me on the cover, posters featuring me, any press, any quality and credited production, publicity, and cross promotion from heavy hitters. I need to ONLY shoot with top quality producing photographers, THAT HAVE THE SAME GOALS, AND BIZ WORK ETHIC!!!! Nothing on a high level, or the highest level, can be achieved with anything low quality! I'll say that once more. If you want high level opportunities, productions, magazines, etc., every aspect MUST 1st be high quality!!!! Magazines for instance. Do you as a model or photographer feel you can achieve a high level of success overall, and get published or land covers in the top pinup magazines, with low quality images? Good, ok, decent images aren't even good enough! I assure you it's a fact. High quality styling, but low quality images. High quality styling, unflattering clothes, no variety of facial expressions and poses, but high quality photography. Etc, etc. The combination and recipe for success involves key ingredients. No matter who, what, when, where or how, those key elements must ALL BE HIGH QUALITY, to create high quality. So back to my ultimate goal. I can see it happening this year. I can predict it not being deemed as a big deal to lots of folks. I can see it bringing amazing opportunities, and it in itself is no small chore to achieve. Everything in my Pinup career from over 4 years now, that was high quality and successful, especially those on a high level, will all ensure this happening. This goal also isn't something that many modern-day pinups, or current pinup or vintage models have achieved! Not very many major things involving pinups are out there, that very, very few have achieved! I have doubts of course, I mean it's a huge goal! I know one day it'll be achieved. Right now I just keep my eyes in the prize, yet use my focus, and energy on smaller, still very important goals. I can think of a few goals I have that may be smaller than my ultimate goal, however they aren't by any means small. A few are also major, one in particular I've tried 4 years now without success! Wouldn't consider it small. But I feel I can live without ever achieving it. My ultimate goal, oh no no, can't rest, refuse to die until it's achieved! Dianna Prince 1st image, images by Fred Young
