028 - What does dancing professionally for Disney World have in common with building a pet photography business? Besides a willingness to get sweaty and a need to stay limber, obviously? 

Both roles can lend themselves to the pressure of perfectionism, a feeling that Portland performer-turned-photographer Kim Hoshal is all too familiar with. Just a few years into her pet photography business, Kim has figured out that taking imperfect action is the key to steady growth and progress. We chat about what that looks like in this week's episode. 

What To Listen For: 

• A common mistake photographers make when approaching marketing partners
• The most important thing you can do to ask better questions when you're stuck
• One major misconception about building out your photography business
• The sanity-saving, productivity-enhancing Sunday-night planning strategy

Worried that doing something imperfectly will leave you looking Goofy? (Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!) Tune in and try out the perfectionism-busting strategies Kim and I discuss in this week's episode.
