Do you dream about what you would do with extra income from a photography business?
Shalicia did, too – but she quickly realized that working full time AND being a photographer is hard work (say goodbye to resting on the weekends)...

Hit play for a life update (big changes are coming for Shalicia on May 1) and healthy dose of inspiration from our Peak Performer of the year, Shalicia Johnson!
