047: Expansion During a Pandemic? Yes, You Can!

I have a very special guest for you in this episode. I'm chatting with the one … the only … Joanna Tiger, my incredible business partner in my boudoir photography business, Three Boudoir! Joanna is an amazing businesswoman (and an amazing woman, period). Together, we built Three Boudoir up from a spark of an idea to a multi-city, scaled-up photography business, to an empowerment empire with online and in-person services and resources (throughout the middle of a pandemic, no less). Throughout our years together, we have taught each other so much about partnership, success, and how to co-run a business effectively and compassionately. And have a TON of fun doing it! And now? We are sharing ALL of the secrets! In my latest podcast episode, you'll discover: The #1 reason my photography business Three Boudoir took off (and is expanding like CRAZY!) The perils of perfectionism, how it can hold you back from getting bigger, and the most effective way to avoid it! Why the human side of your business deserves more attention—and how those efforts will benefit you tenfold!   Listen below!   Remember to subscribe on iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher!
