BLOG + VLOG of AUTUMN THEODORE PHOTOGRAPHY

Work with people outside your industry

11/9/2018

Last year I wrote a blog post about finding creative inspiration specifically outside your industry.

It made me want to write another blog post about the fact that it's not just using those outside your industry to inspire you - you should also work with them.

Find ways to teach each other new skills. Have conversations with each other about what you do - the other person will likely have outside-the-box suggestions on what could be done differently. Go to lunch together...in a totally different part of your city! Attend (or create!) networking events to meet even more people in other industries.

How am I coming up with all these ideas. Because I personally lived this experience with the wonderful Brandi Lust.

I met Brandi two years ago and within one month, we decided to  begin working together. We started a small, intimate, monthly networking group. With photography and mindfulness, Brandi and I had no professional common ground - but we were excited, so we started with a group of ten women. The uncommon ground grew: holistic health, graphic design, art, consulting, writing, skincare, coaching, and education.

What we've been able to do with each other, for each other, and in support of each other is truly astonishing. We help each other grow our networks, we trade services, we have fun socially, and truly grow closer as friends each month.

My point? Don't grow only within your industry. Grow outside of it. You might grow taller than you ever imagined.

Happy Friday!
Autumn

Our friendship and collaboration has been such a source of support for me while I follow my dreams, and I hope I have been able to do the same for you. I am so grateful for every time you have showed up for me, and for every time we have made something amazing happen together! Thank you! XO
