099 - This week, as we creep toward a major podcast milestone, I look back at both the humble beginnings and the happy evolution of Hair of the Dog. 

What have I learned along the way that you can put to use in your own business? If you're a regular listener, the "secrets to success" won't entirely be a surprise. But I hope that framing these in a new way—and sharing a few thought-exercises to try—will help you move the ball forward with your own goals and dreams. 

What To Listen For: 

  • The happy accident that set Nicole's photography business up for success
  • A litmus test for your self-limiting beliefs—and the importance of the company you keep
  • The 3 things you need to be a successful pet photographer 
  • Words of wisdom from Henry Ford, and Nicole's favorite quote
  • The big difference between half-assing it and being 70% "good enough"

Friends, the #1 goal here at Hair of the Dog has always been to build community. I'm so thankful to you for making this what is today: an incredible group of people with a shared passion, all moving in the same direction. It's genuinely a joy to see all the friendships forged through pet photography, and the way HOD-ers lean on each other for feedback and support.

If you're not yet part of our nearly 900-member-strong membership Academy, note that the doors are open for *just* a few more days. We'd sure love to welcome you as part of our pack!
