The NUMBER ONE thing holding you back from growing your photography business
May 15, 2023
You wont grow your photography business if you succumb to fear.
You wont scale your business if you don't step outside of your comfort zone and invest in reaching the next level.
Let me tell you where I went wrong...
When I started my photography business, I was making barely enough money to survive.
I didn't have systems, I didn't have processes and I was struggling to keep my head above water.
Once my business started to grow and I started to work with more clients, I couldn't keep up with the demand because I didn't have the structure behind me to support the growth.
I really needed to make a change in my business, so I hired a business coach and I took massive action.
What I did was...
I raised my prices
Created a really good marketing system
I have automations in the back end
My systems are structured and simplified
Once I created these processes, I started to see results and I was able to take my business to the next level.
Now my business has...
Consistent sales and bookings...
My ex told me my business would fail
May 03, 2023
I had an ex-boyfriend who told me once I shouldn't bother starting a business because I wouldn't be able to make it work
I find this halerious now because I turned a borrowed camera into a multi 6 figure photography business.
Proving people wrong isn't the goal, it's the byproduct of doing this for YOU because you want it bad enough.
