Episode 53
Reflecting on Goals:
This is a perfect time for introspection and goal-setting.
As we approach the end of the year, it’s important to set intentions for 2024. What do you want for your photography business? More shoots, increased revenue, or maybe more personal time? Take a moment to reflect and write down some thoughts.
Overcoming Roadblocks:
Identifying roadblocks is as vital as setting goals. What’s stopping your progress as a photographer or business owner? Lack of confidence, a limited network, or financial worries? You need a plan to get there! Without a clear path, you risk missing out on opportunities for growth and improvement.
Investing in Growth:
This brings me to my Sustainable Photography mentorship program. While the investment may seem a lot, the returns are mant. With monthly live coaching calls, ongoing support, and personalized insights, the program offers established photographers a path to a better, more sustainable business.
Common hesitations like waiting for the “right time” or wanting to make more money before investing are understandable. However, the sooner you invest, the sooner you reap the benefits. Whether it’s doubling prices, streamlining workflows, or gaining the confidence to say no, the program has proven transformative for many.
Ending note
I want you to succeed. Reach out on Instagram, book a call, and let’s explore how I can support your journey. Remember, success is a collaborative effort, and seeking help can get you further than doing it all alone. Here’s to a season of growth, resilience, and thriving in the world of sustainable photography. See you next week!
