Public Perception and Changes: The fear that everyone is watching and judging your every move is unfounded. Flexibility in business decisions is crucial.   Four Key Insights that DID Impact Success Building a Strong Network: Cultivating relationships with vendors, clients, and the community is invaluable for growth and support. Embracing 'Scary Asks': Pushing beyond comfort zones, especially in pricing and collaborations, is essential for business development. The Importance of Outsourcing: Delegating tasks outside one's expertise or preference can significantly propel business growth. Trusting Your Gut: Personal intuition and understanding of your client base are irreplaceable guides in making business decisions.   This episode is a goldmine of wisdom for anyone navigating the complexities of the wedding industry.  Amelia's journey from capturing memories behind the lens to creating them at Emerson Fields is a compelling narrative of transformation, growth, and the enduring significance of creating a legacy by doing the things that really matter.
