To their friends it seemed they were following our hearts into the jaws of death. It was 2002, when Internet companies were collapsing. their competitors would be Microsoft, Sony, Canon, and Kodak.
They were hopelessly in love with the Internet and digital photography.
What’s better than priceless photos of life’s best moments, summoned with a click? Everyone has a shoe box in the closet where irreplaceable photos decay, alone and unseen. They believed in their souls that a photo online is worth ten in the closet.
It was a moment of truth for their belief that passion is the most important thing in business. We all know passion explains why Apple, Harley-Davidson and Starbucks thrive but we swallowed hard when we considered the odds against them.

If you really care about your photos, do you want ads alongside them? You don’t put ads in your photo albums at home. The big brands can’t resist inserting ads in your albums, and requiring your visitors to register so they can market to them. Their hearts led us to design ad- and spam-free albums. One point for passion.
They won’t let you hide their logos and decorate your albums like you can at home. They love to see it. Two points for passion.
They won’t let your mom in Atlanta download high-resolution versions of your photos to print at home. Three points. No full-screen slide shows. Four. There are many more.

Three years after starting, they became the trustees for the priceless photos of 50,000 families, the equivalent of a medium-sized city. Gone are the sharing sites of many trusted brands.
They did it without taking debt because they felt a great sense of responsibility for the photos they store. Their pay in the beginning was huge: the joy of working with each other doing what we love, and the bonds that form when you struggle for a great cause. Delayed gratification was worth the reward.

SmugMug was started by CEO Don who hired his father.

Along the way the contagion spread to the rest of the family. They left their promising careers and two SmugMug MacAskills became seven, solving the Silicon Valley problem of not enough time for family. Their favorite activity is to work long hours together on exciting new features. And the rest of the SmugMug team has become family too.
Even their customers consider themselves part of the family. They revel in seeing their photos of weddings, newborns, Peace Corps assignments, athletic triumphs…

Chris’s jaw dropped when I heard that his former employer, Steve Jobs, would give the commencement speech at his alma mater, Stanford University. Had he ever been to a college graduation?
But he said something powerful there that Chris knew he believed: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
It’s how their family’s dreams came true.

A friend once asked me, “How did you come to believe in yourself and your abilities?” To me, it was a simple enough question, and my answer was even simpler: “I just did.”
Now, that may not make any sense to you right now, but it will by the time you finish reading this blog entry.
People have asked me about how they could go about changing the beliefs that they have about themselves, about others, and about life. And my answer has always been the same – in order to change a belief, you simply need to change it.
What this means is that you do not need any life-altering events, signs, or proof that you can have a certain belief. The belief does not come from any external forces; it comes entirely from within you. What you need in order to change your belief system, or even just a single belief, is the decision that you are changing your belief. That is all.
All of the beliefs that you have right now, you choose to have. I know this is admittedly a difficult thing for many people to understand, since they feel that they have no control over many of the events in their life. And while it’s true that we may not have control over every single aspect of our lives, one thing we do have control over is how we perceive any given situation, which relates closely to the beliefs we have.
So if we have control over how we perceive things, then we also have control over the beliefs in our life. All of our beliefs put together comprise our belief system, which is such an important part of our lives, yet most of us do not pay much attention to it, and let our belief system fly on autopilot. And this is not necessarily a bad thing, because it’s unrealistic and a waste of time to keep checking every single belief we have before we make a decision. What our belief system should do is guide us without us having to check up on it. But the problem is, for most people, their belief system is comprised of beliefs they don’t want, or are not healthy for them.
Now, the million dollar question is, “How can I develop a strong belief system?”

What is your wiser self telling you?

If you have no answers for your life, then who should we ask? Having problems getting in touch with what you want or what’s next? Try taking on the persona of a higher authority than yourself and ask them. Do a little role playing and have some fun with it. Maybe even ask a friend to participate, and be each other’s guru’s for an hour or so.

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours…Ayn Rand
