How to Grow Your Photography Business in 2021

How to Grow Your Photography Business in 2021

Hey Podcast Family, I hope this video helps as many of you who are aspiring to create a Photography or any other type of small business.
Starting your company can be a bit tricky and daunting. But if you commit to your process, find your groove, and stay the course, you'll find yourself in a position of constant growth. Too many of us worry about the accolades, things we can't control, and the perception we're giving off. In my 7 years, these are all distractions. The money, the confidence, and the strategy all come from doing the work. If you have that mindset, you'll be set for life. That's the formula for success in my opinion.

How to Attract New Clients Using Your Expertise

How to Attract New Clients Using Your Expertise

In today's episode, I had a candid discussion with my mother about how we can leverage her over 2 decades of experience in the health field to build awareness for her business. The strategy we set was to build top of the funnel awareness for her health & nutrition brand using live-recorded zoom calls. My motto for 2021 is to build a business around a topic that you're passionate about. If you can have even 1 person on that call and share something that changes their life, then you'll have started the process of building that business that you desire.

The Formula For Achieving Your Dreams

The Formula For Achieving Your Dreams

20 years ago there wasn't a hair of a chance that you'd be hearing this podcast from me.

Because of the many advances of technology, putting out that first album, sharing catalogue of images, or starting that new e-commerce business is more accessible than its every been.

Today episode is a call to action for putting out content because I see and personally feel the impact of social media has on making those once distant dreams feel a little realer everyday.

Why You Need To Forgive Yourself

Why You Need To Forgive Yourself

Not judging yourself is one of the most difficult things that we all have to deal with.

But when we don't we unlock so much more to ourselves and it allows us to make decisions more quickly.

I'm currently one day behind on uploading videos for this series, but I've decided to take my stride and proceed as planned because I intend to show up for myself and not judge while doing so!!

Karma Is Practical; Why It's Important To Deploy Kindness

It's no doubt that kindness has its merit in life. Kindness is something that I belive in 10 fold. Being 5 years in my journey, one of the key variables to my constant momentum has been being kind to people.

Embrace. Your Failure | That's How Strategy is Born

Embrace. Your Failure | That's How Strategy is Born

There's no need to ponder and try to predict the future when we barely have control over life itself. I believe in the merit of experimentation and testing. That's how you figure out strategy. Doing, is always better than over pondering.

In Life & Business, You Need Flexibility

In Life & Business, You Need Flexibility

There's nothing more true that we all create jails for ourselves which leads us down a path of self judgement and negative self criticism. I believe that there needs to be flexibility in how we navigate our lives and our business which would ultimately lead to more success and happiness.

Your Business is A Reflection Of You

Your Business is A Reflection Of You

We are living in one of the greatest generations to start a business. As I engage in conversations with more business owners like myself, I am lead to believe that many of us aren't taking the time to learn ourselves before venturing off into a business.
Your business is a reflection of you, your attitudes towards life and it can't grow beyond the limits of yourself. So my call to action is to learn about yourself before you get into a business.

On The Internet, Quantity Wins

On The Internet, Quantity Wins

Hey podcast, I think there's no debate at this point that the answer to many of our successes lies in outputting a quantity of content on a daily basis on the current relevant platforms. I believe that many of us are caught in the old mindset that there has to be that one piece of creative that'll get you there, and while I believe in that, you'll never know unless you up your output game. The answer to content questions will be more, more, and more! 

I hope you enjoy today's episode.

We All Suck So Focus On Your Strengths

We All Suck So Focus On Your Strengths

Hey Podcast, on today's episode I speak about the importance of focusing on your strengths, while being acutely aware of you weaknesses.

Too often I see people dwelling on the things that they can't change which leads to a lot of unhappiness. I believe that we should turn that in the other direction to focusing on the few things that we're great at which I believe will ultimate play out positively in your life.

“Soft Skills” Needs A Rebrand

“Soft Skills” Needs A Rebrand

Hey Podcast today I speak about the importance of "soft skills" in our lives and why I truly believe that they don't get the credit they deserve because of the branding that they have. Communication, empathy, leadership, creativity,  and people skills are things that we have to engage with at every step of our lives so I think it's time that we have a more meaningful conversation around this.

You Have To Begin Where You Are

You Have To Begin Where You Are

Good morning Podcast! On today's episode I share my thoughts around what it means to execute and be in your own journey. Too often we glorify the idea of perfection instead of glorifying the process which is more important. Please understand that it's the trial and error that informs your strategy not the other way around.
