042: Money Bags

This episode breaks down the moment I realized how much money I’ve been stepping over in my business without even noticing. When you stop operating like a photographer and start operating like a business owner, you begin to see every crack, every leak, and every missed opportunity that was right in front of you. I talk through two major examples from this month that made this painfully clear:How a $30K wedding pulled me out of retirement and confirmed how much I left on the table as a wedding photographer by not incorporating IPS into my process. How my PASS galleries brought in $4,492 this month without me doing anything, simply because the systems were already in place. I also share the ways I’m tightening my business for next year, including finally monetizing wardrobe styling and building affiliate income around the work I’m already doing. The message is simple: Once you see the money, you can’t unsee it. And once you start thinking like a CEO, you stop leaving it on the table.
