We had the good fortune of connecting with Tim Long and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tim, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
“If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm.” – African Proverb

I like this quote because it is pointing to a deep sense of understanding and responsibility for ones self.

As an owner, you have to believe in yourself and you can’t listen to what other. people are saying or doing, you have to walk to the beat of your own drum.

And you have to be well with yourself, you have to treat yourself well, otherwise you die inside.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
So I have a 3 prong business:

Tim Long Consulting, Tim Long Studios, & Tim Long Photography

The consulting side is focused on relationships and business development.
Studios is focused on lifestyle and cinematic pursuits.
And my photography side is all about the still moments, the moments that trull stop your breath for just a second.

I started my consulting practice over a decade ago on the eve of my divorce. It was the hardest moment of my life and there was no one in my circle who really could assist me in that dark time.

So, after attempted suicide, hospitalization and an ambulance ride, I woke up to the fact that I wanted to help others who were like me, in the toughest situations and had no one to turn to.

And so I did, I helped people and eventually found my way into the creative world where I used my understanding of people and my love for techno9logy to create a career I truly love.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I live in Wine country, so we would hit a few wineries, grab some Italian or American cuisine and cruise the hills at sunset.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shoutout to my wife, Jacquelyn, who has supported me every single step of the way. We have had our ups and downs in the past couple of years and she has been my light in the darkness.
