    How you can honor God in business...

    What an abstract topic: "honoring God" in our photography business. But we're talking about it today!

    I want to show you a side of the Gospel that doesn't focus on:

    • what you put in your bio
    • how many Bible verses you post
    • if you pray with your clients

    (all those are great too).

    Today I'm talking about the simple, quiet acts that often speak WAY louder than words.

    If you're waiting for *your turn* to win, this is for you. (Student Case Study with Chrissy Jamie)

    "When is it my turn to win?"

    That's the question Chrissy, a wedding photographer and videographer, was asking herself not just a year ago.

    She knew the ropes of photography, but her business was stuck at around $50k/year, and nothing was changing.

    Finally, she took a chance on learning business, trusted the Lord with her decision, and joined the Business Blueprint. This year, she already hit $100k by September (with many months to spare).

    Find out how she did it...

    I don't hide prices as a photographer anymore. Here's why...

    If you've been unsure of WHEN and HOW to send your pricing to clients, this episode is for you.

    It's not as simple as "share everything on your website" or "share nothing."

    There's a balance we have to strike between "showing it all" and keeping some cards close.

    I will break down, step-by-step, how/when (and *IF*) to present your pricing on your website, and beyond. No more guessing.

    "The other photographer can do it cheaper." (live coaching call with Rebecca Z)

    Have you heard this from a client?

    "The other guy can do it cheaper." or "They have an all-in-one package for the venue, photographer, and planner." blah blah blah.

    We've all heard these types of objections from clients probably at least once in our careers, and so how do you still win over the client, even when you're NOT the cheapest option?

    In this live coaching call with a photographer named Rebecca, we tackle exactly how to handle these situations, what to actually say back to them, and how to attract a better client in the first place. Press play to listen.

    5 signs you’ll be a successful photographer.

    These are the traits/signs that separate the winners from the losers.

    After coaching & meeting hundreds (or thousands) of photographers at this point, I can spot the ones who will be successful, even when they are early on in their growth.

    Don't have these traits yet? No worries. You can start implementing them as soon as today.

    Why most photographer websites fail. (and how NOT to)

    I'm fired up about websites in the photography industry. Because there are too many bad ones out there.

    So this episode covers how to make yours rise above the industry (hint: it's not that hard. MOST people do it so so wrong).

    Do these 4 things, and put yourself at the head of the industry. Period.
