I see you.
You started your business and hopped right on the rollercoaster of being a business owner.
Seasons change, clients come and go, and the rollercoaster of being a photographer just goes up and down. We look at our calendar in January and it feel like crickets- so we freak out – we spiral.
But then spring time happens and business starts rolling in- we feel like we are on top of the world.
One day it is the client of your dreams, and the next it is the client from hell.
I am here to tell you- you can hop off the the emotional rollercoaster today.
You are the CEO of your business and that means you get to make the decision and put a stop to the unhealthy cycle that can be seasonal depression or running a portrait business without really knowing how to run your portrait business.
Start Treating Your Business Like A Job | It can be so easy to fall into the habit of looking at your photography business as a side hustle or hobby, but that is dangerous. Shifting your view from hobby to job can make a substantial change to not only how you spend your time working but how you treat your business and the tasks involved moving forward.
Plan in Advance & Create Urgency | Setting an actual plan for yourself financially and professionally inside your business is a great way to keep yourself ready for slow seasons, financial hardships or simply holding yourself accountable year round.
Marketing | I know, marketing is such an intimidating word for many photographers, but trust me when I say, devoting time and effort into your marketing strategy will make significant changes throughout your year. From building a spider web of marketing methods and strategies to implementing those ideas in automated systems will not only keep you on track but also give you a consistent presence even when slow season hits.
