I’ve gotta say there is something about working with partners that makes this entrepreneurial stuff so much more fun. I’m swirling and twisting on this journey toward Freedom 7.31.2010 and it can sometimes feel lonely and confusing. While I’m finally starting to evolve my vision and I’m getting a stronger sense of what I want my brand “Amber McCue” to represent, I have a tendency to get hung up on details. Afterall, this is “ME” I’m putting out there – I want to get it right, says my inner voice.
Even though I’m still scheming, learning, and building, when I’m doing that with partners the “work” is much more fun. It also helps keep me on track. When I have voiced commitments to someone – even if they are my own personal commitments – they become that much more real. Different partners help in different ways too. (I’ve mentioned these two here before, but they are worth calling out again because they are doing good things… : ) )
Bluegrass Romance – Commonality In Mission, Rock Star Support & Encouragement
I met Morgan over at Bluegrass Romance through the internet. Surprised at how much we had in common (boudoir photography, passion for life and adventure, and being former single mommas) we connected not even knowing what it would bring. Right now, it is a weekly support call where we share what we are up to and encourage one another.
Three Boudoir – Friend and Traditional Business Partner for Taking on Sexy
In my boudoir photography business, I have friend and traditional business partner. We are building and growing this business under our shared vision each bringing different skill-sets to table. My photography and coaching experience to help people feel comfortable in their own skin in front of us two strangers + her modeling experience to direct clients to pose in just the right to help their inner beauty shine right through = a fantastic team!!
Even though partners totally rock, there are some best practices from “big business” that totally apply here. The really cool thing is that in the entrepreneurial world we can really hold ourselves to implementing them and building partnerships that help drive our purpose, meaning, and enhance our lives.
Tomorrow I’ll share some of those tips… Today, I’d like to hear from you!
What AWESOME partnerships do you have?
