No doubt i rely much on my personal values to drive much of the business values. it feels nice to integrate the as much as possible but i am sure it has it&#8217;s limits. No doubt we haven&#8217;t gone as far with the business because we&#8217;re a bunch of nice accomdating guys. But i definitely feel a personal transformation on how i feel my time in respect to how much i charge for my &#8216;services&#8217;.  i&#8217;m been through the transformation before in my former career as an engineer but it&#8217;s been more interesting on the creative transformation. there are parallels from my former occuption in measuring the value of my time, but i sense that the creative transformation requires a lot more than just listing the clients and people i taken photos of! self confidence and conceptual\/imaginative thought processes seem to be two key factors creative growth. at any rate, the business is growing and i am feeling more responsible in much more than i had anticipated. I feel that the more people we hire into the company, the more &#8216;obligted&#8217; i am in seeing things through some sort of frution. To some degree, i see self orangization sustainablity as the first step in the fruition of the journey but i think it will get a lot more interesting after that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>it&#8217;s really weird being on the other side of the table when i have to interview candidates for the company. i&#8217;ve been a pretty good interviewee but i asking the right questions is another matter. as an interviewer, i feel like i am gonig on a lot of instincts these days versus asking the raitional questions that bring out the essense of people. nevertheless, i feel like much of what i do these days is on a very gut level. from style in photography to how we approach business processes, it&#8217;s all comes more from deep within [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23],"tags":[40],"class_list":["post-434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-thoughts","tag-random"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb4m0Z-70","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/434\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jack.orangephotography.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
