What happens when you take your biggest competition and make them your business partner?
That’s what James Christianson and Otto Schulze did seven years ago - and they haven’t looked back on their way to the top ranks of wedding photographers.
In this week’s episode of Own Your Business, I dive deep into James and Otto’s artistic education and individual careers to learn how their unique approaches make for a successful partnership.
During the conversation we dig into:
- How complementary skills and mindsets create a well-rounded business
- Why their clients get more with four expert eyes instead of only two
- What steps they took to grow - and how they put in effort every single day
This episode will provide a peek behind the curtain of how to look 5-10 years down the road, rather than just next year. And you’ll see how seeds you plant today need to be fed and watered and fertilized for years before they’ll bear fruit.
James and Otto are two of the savviest business people I know in the wedding industry. Enjoy the insights into how they think and why they’re so good at what they do.
