Play is transformative. And it's essential for our personal and professional growth that we take regular breaks to play. I know from personal experience that when I incorporated more play and whitespace into my life, my business increased exponentially. I had more “million dollar” ideas, bigger business growth, came up with better strategies, strengthened my relationships, and found a deeper connection with myself. On today's episode of the Run Like Clockwork podcast, I'm joined by Shannon Claire, an international branding photographer who has worked with entrepreneurs all over the globe, creating unforgettable brands and marketing campaigns that *actually* get attention. We discuss: how playfulness fosters creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills. the misconception that constant work will lead to success why breaks are essential for sustainable growth why capturing transformational experiences makes for the best photos PLUS, we announce that Shannon will be offering a limited number of mini-branding shoots while at camp! It is normally thousands of dollars to work with her, but for Camp Clockwork, you have the opportunity to get in front of her lens for a whopping 3 figure investment! (lol) You'll receive 10-15 fully edited photos that are ready for all of your marketing needs. If you’re ready to get out of your rut, out of your comfort zone, and into a new level for your business (and yourself), you’ve GOT to get yourself to Camp Clockwork! www.campclockwork.com…
