EP 105: If you ever want a fun question to ask other business owners, try asking them what their favorite tax write-off is.  In this episode, I got to ask that question to a number of successful creatives at the Noobie Photographer's conference in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

EP 104: Have you ever asked a business owner "what is the best lesson you've ever learned?"  It's a great question, and today I'm at the Noobie Photographer's conference asking entrepreneurs a slight variation of that question, by asking them what the hardest lessons were in their careers.

EP 103:  I am here at the Noobie Photographer's Conference in Chattanooga, Tennesee, picking the brains of professional photographers and business owners on what the best investment has been for them in their careers.  Oftentimes, I find amateur photographers cite a new piece of camera equipment as their best investment, which is not to say that is wrong or misguided, but it does highlight a perspective shift from many people starting out to those who have reached a certain level they set out to.  In this episode, I pulled 8 successful entrepreneurs aside to ask them what investment they are most grateful for.

EP 102:  We're out on location!  I am wrapping up here at the Noobie Photographer's conference here in Chattanooga Tennesee, talking to successful business owners and creatives about art, life, and business.  In the quiet moments, I decided to pull every speaker aside for a quick poll, asking them where in business they think startup creatives tend to waste the most time on.   What is amazing is each entrepreneur has his/her own take on what efforts rank highest as a diminishing return, and hopefully these responses prompt all of us to ask ourselves, "what tasks are we constantly spending time on, that yield very little return?"
