When it comes to running a successful business it is very important to have a solid and strong TEAM. A group of individuals that bring their talent and together FAWESOMENESS happens. It is understandable as well that some individuals work BEST alone and that is FAWESOME as well. However, if you're a person with a certain talent, but you're not great or even good at other things and someone else is capable to take care of the things you can't, then MAGIC begins to happen. Immediately, everything falls into place and things start moving along and as your business grows, more needs will arise and more people will be added to the team to make it an ALL STAR! So don't be afraid to admit to not be able to handle or be good at some of the needs your business requires, you may also not have the time to do them. So bring someone that has that particular talent and watch everything get better! At Knapp Photography, we know what our personal talents are and we each handle that side of our business, but we're also always willing to lay a hand in every other necessity the business may have. Helping each other out is also a huge part of a team; always helping out helps the business grow. So we ask you KIND people, how many team members do you have? How well do you get along? If you're a ONE member TEAM, tell us how you're able to handle everything on your own. We want to hear from other small businesses out there that like us, help each other out and are making things happen!
This week's news are big at Knapp Photography! As we grow as a team, well we realized that as a solid team and like many, many teams, we needed a mascot... that being said, we would like to introduce you to SHUTTER THE BULLDOG!
Shutter is a 3 month old English Bulldog that we adopted last week. The original owners could not keep him because they are moving to a new place where pets are not allowed. We promised them to care and love the puppy very much and they were kind enough to let us have him. He already had his first check up and his doctor said that although his breed is very difficult and has several health issues, Shutter is one HEALTHY PUP. She was so excited to have met him that she even took a picture with him. We will continuously post pictures and news about Shutter as we want to document his life as best as possible. So far he has been a great pup, knows how to sit, understands his name and will begin potty training as soon as his doctor gives us the green light to take him outside. We are very excited and happy to have Shutter as the new addition to our team!
We also had a great photo shoot yesterday for our friends at Color Me Salon whom needed some shots for the coming website, advertisement material and facebook page. We created magic! Some of the beautiful models we have already worked with were kind enough to come and help out. Nicole Barrera, Kaitlin Chin, Catherine Ivette and Loren were all there hanging out and having a great time.
We want to wish you all a great rest of your week, we hope everyone had an amazing weekend and we also want to wish all the mothers that read our blog a very HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
Thank you for taking the time to read this here TEAM ORIENTED blog and we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy writing it.
