With SO much information being thrown at us as photographers and business owners on a daily basis, it’s no wonder you’re confused, unsure what to do next, floundering and feeling all over the place with  no structure.  I once saw a comment from someone watching an online workshop where the photographer was saying not to put your prices on your website.      It said ” I’m confused.  Yesterday, photographer X was telling us we should put our prices on out website and today, photographer Y is telling us not to???  OMG….. what are we supposed to do??  Who do we believe??  I’m so confused! ”

Successful photographers aren’t like others…. they rely on their own talent, passion, motivation and drive to get them and their business’s to where they are today.  I know many studios who are making a lot of money running good business’s because they are not concerned about being like anyone else or doing what others are doing.  LEARN the craft of photography and the dynamics of running a business from others but make YOUR business YOURS.  Make it about YOU!  Different things work for different people running different business’s with different target markets.  Identify where you sit with all of these and make plans and decisions accordingly.
