What a weekend! :) We had another AMAZING group of photographers at the Minneapolis Photo Center to learn and shoot together, it was awesome! :)
I find teaching to be EXTREMELY humbling! To think that I have ANYTHING worth teaching is humbling in of itself, but I find that every single time I meet someone new to share about my business, I always walk away changed myself. You see, I’ve always been an external processor (you can ask my husband :) so processing branding and marketing and the nuts-and-bolts of being an entrepreneur out loud always leaves me changed. It challenges me and it forces me to think and re-think all of my strategies! :) And I like that! I like that being a business owner is fluid…that there are no “rules”! (Well maybe according to the IRS, there are..but that is besides the point)! :) I like that many of us can own the same “kind” of business and approach it differently and operate in it differently. Maybe that’s the artist in me that enjoys seeing other successes in different patterns! :)
And this weekend was one of those weekends….I walked away thinking and rethinking some new ideas and some new strategies! I have some new goals (THANKS JEFF!) and I have about 47,000 ideas running through my head about this 2013 year! :) Some about being a mom, some about being a photographer, some about being a textile artist, some about being a wife and a friend and a daughter-in-law…the list goes on…
SO needless to say, it was a great weekend! And it was full of some ideas of change! I hope everyone else there had just as much fun and learned just as much as I did! :)
HAPPY TUESDAY everyone! :)
PS…..Isn’t Lisa, of Johnny and Dottie, just amazing (AHHMMMAAAZING) at her concepts?! I mean, I think we all about died after shooting Gabby and Ben and their fabulous details! :)
