Welcome to the Monday Mashup – your week in review for all things Photographers Connection!
While you were busy reminiscing about the good old days when you drank out of the hose and got three months off each summer to play outside without a care in the world (man, this being a grown up thing can be such a drag!) we were tackling how to boost your confidence, how not to do business, and what awesome tool to use to boost your sales! Too busy eating popsicles in the corner while trying to come to terms with having to deal with your adult responsibilities while the kids slack off all summer? No biggie - we’re here to fill you in on all that awesomeness you may have missed last week!
SOCIAL MEDIA STORY OF THE WEEK
What got over 300 shares and will totally crack you up? This great post from Heather on our FB page! Next time you feel down because you don’t look like the people in the magazines remember, they probably don’t look like that either!
ON THE BLOGGITY BLOG LAST WEEK
- I learned SO MUCH about sales and business from my latest adventure: car shopping. Find out why we had to stop for cocktails halfway through just to make it through the day, and learn what sales mistakes to avoid at all costs when it comes to your own business!
- Dear Flipsnack: you are absolutely delicious! Last week Sarah shared one of her favorite life saving products with us and converted us into total Flipsnack believers! See what all the fuss is about and take back control of your business today!
- Last week on Ask Kim, it was love at first sight when I opened my inbox and saw this question. So many of our members have gotten a confidence boost after reading this installment of Ask Kim, all about overcoming those feelings of self doubt that creep up when we constantly compare our work to the work of others. Join us in breaking this nasty cycle!
BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU SO…

IN OTHER NEWS…
Last week I shared the video of the amazing cat that saved her bff from a dog attack, and I mentioned that that cat would be throwing out the first pitch at a local baseball game. A cat throwing out a pitch is about as impressive as fending off a jerk dog, so take another look at Tara the cat, the modern day jack of all trades!
