YOUR BRANDING SAYS A LOT ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS

But does it say what you want it to? Kelsey and Britt understand that going the DIY route seems more cost and time effective when you're first starting out, but they've seen that it doesn't end up that way in the long run.

Crafting your perfect brand doesn't have to be daunting either. By working with a professional brand designer, the process should be easy and fun! In this episode, they're diving into their process for working with their clients and giving you tips along the way.

YOU'RE RUNNING A BUSINESS

When Raelene started out as a self-taught photographer, she began researching and attending photography workshops all over. The more she attended, the more she realized there was a huge piece missing from most of them.

Raelene decided that she wanted to host her own photography workshop that also included information on the business side of photography. It was this idea coupled with an Instagram DM that launched her workshop last fall.

We've been leaving fun little snippets of convo at the back end of every episode since we started. However due to time constraints we aren't going to add them to future episodes. However...we wanted to say goodbye to our fun little friends with a compilation episode if you will. 

Nothing business or photography related here...just some interesting eavedropping into our conversations. Have fun! 

We will all face the question at some point in our growing businesses. Is a VA (virtual assistant) right for us? What kind of work can they do for us? Where in the world do we find one? And what (GASP) if we have to fire one? 

We are chatting with Maria Carras all about this subject today and I for one got a TON of great info and suggestions about navigating the world of working with a virtual assistant!
