You know how I feel about community. As ambitious as we may be, no one can go it alone. We all need someone in our corner who sees our big dreams and thinks, “Heck Ya, I’m in!” Not those who politely nod when you share your vision but jump right in with ideas on how to make it real. Because, if they don’t get it, they won’t get you.

Early on, in my photography business, I learned not every client or contractor I came across would be my ideal fit—and thank goodness for that. By having the ability to say “No, I’d rather not work with you.”. Because when you’re chasing down big dreams, the last thing you need is someone whose energy isn’t in line with yours. Think of it like finding the perfect jeans: when the fit is right, you’re unstoppable; when it’s off, you’re just uncomfortable, tugging and pulling all flippin’ day.

Here’s what I’ve learned about finding that dream team that truly gets you:

Find People Who Get Your Work (and Actually Get You)

Finding the right person goes beyond skill. It’s, about connecting with someone who truly grasps your vision and goals in hiring a designer or photographer or even a coach. It’s not merely about expertise but about having someone on board who comprehends your direction and the reasons behind it. This is what sets apart a service provider from a partner, in your journey.


Look for partners to collaborate with of seeking hired assistance

When you come across individuals who genuinely support your aspirations and dreams. They do more, than tasks mechanically from a checklist; they anticipate challenges ahead of time and provide valuable insights and guidance to help you navigate through rough patches (lets face it; there will be hurdles). Look for someone who shares your passion for your vision because their commitment will bring an added layer of motivation to propel you towards progress.

Ensure that your team shares your vision and passion than just seeking a paycheck; true inspiration will propel you to achieve remarkable success, beyond your wildest expectations.
