APA Success Teams

What is a Success Team?

A Success Team is an Accountability Team for APA Photographer members, and Emerging Photographer members. Its mission is to help each member of the team identify and clarify his or her own professional goals for success and accomplish them through encouragement, feedback, support and mutual accountability.  Success Teams stimulate dialogue among thinking, proactive, committed APA photographers, encouraging them to share their ideas, experiences, successes and challenges, as a means of fostering individual and collective achievement.  A Success Team is the balanced focusing of minds and attentions on individually specific goals that multiplies effectiveness and produces greater results in a shorter period of time.

A Success Team is also part of a much larger APA Success Team Member Community comprised of many teams that communicate on various Regional and National levels among themselves to provide an unparalleled and unprecedented degree of career support.   This unique and growing APA Success Team Member Community also receives additional informational and educational support from each participating APA Chapter and APA National.  Through communicating with peers in a spirit of good will and harmony, we expand ourselves, our business and our world.  Via the ST (Success Team) experience with others, we gain insights and bring new perspectives to our work and life.  Joining with peers on a ST provides impetus for keeping up with change, problem solving and positions us for setting goals and rapidly opening and closing opportunities.

What are the major topics that Success Team Members can help each other with?  Motivating Creativity, Personal Vision, Portfolio Development, Business Problems, Career Goals, Transitioning to Digital Technology, Copyright Issues, Invoicing and Contract Negotiations, Accountability, Support and Validation and Peer Feedback for each Member.

What it is not:
It’s not a class, though members will learn from each other.
It’s not a discussion group, although discussions will take place.
Nor is it a social club, although members will socialize.
Nor is it a therapy group, although members will express their feelings.

If you love the idea of working with other creative people in a positive, creative, and supportive environment, nothing will inspire you like having your own Success Team.
