"On behalf of all the photographers, I would say we start business thinking we're gonna do photography to have this amazing life around our family. And then a year in, it takes over the family life. We work in the day we work at night. We're literally like on call 24, 7 family suffers."  

Maggie talks to us about how you can gain that freedom back by doing IPS.
