008 - The sense that "we're all in this together" is something that a lot of people are feeling right now, thanks to current global events. The vital role of community, cooperation and collaboration is on full display in the daily news reports, and possibly even in your own neighborhood.

In that spirit, my guest this week is Marika Moffitt of Dirtie Dog Photography, who shares how forging relationships with other pet-lovers in her Seattle community led to a total transformation of her business. As Marika says, "We can be so focused on building ourselves...that we forget how much we'll actually get out of supporting somebody else."

What To Listen For: 

• How looking at your business with a beginner's mindset can pay dividends
• The realization that prompted a complete shift in her messaging 
• How to build momentum for events and out-of-the-box ideas
• The incredible power of tapping into the "child heart" 

If the idea of making your pet photography business bigger than yourself resonates with you, this is a can't-miss episode!
