It's not just about Creativity, it's about Smart Business

I am off to a photography business workshop this week with Ann Monteith and Judy Grann (Successware). So often our creative minds hit a wall when it comes to business, marketing, and bringing home the bacon. We give everything away. We charge for the product but not our time. And we slowly give up the privileges we dreamed we'd have in owning our own business: our own schedule, free time for family, and ultimately all that matters most.

PPA's SMS is a great resource as is Successware and workshops like Ann Monteith offers. I am excited about all that I am going to learn this week!

Oh, and congratulations to Matt and Megan (pictured below), who have taken their business to a profitable level--something too many photographers and creative artists fail to do. I met Matt at a workshop in Oregon over a year ago and he has benefited from PPA's SMS.

I love seeing you creative people succeed!
