066: Is it Worth Being Self Employed?

It’s fair to say that most wedding creatives work for themselves - so what better topic for a December episode than a good chat over the myths, wins & realities of running your own business in the wedding industry? The Christmas tree is up, but the gloves are off when it comes to sharing the honest truths of self employment.   Whilst we’re definitely not qualified experts in business (or accountants for financial advice!) we both have a decade of running wedding business’ behind us and at times run them in very different ways, but with quite similar goals in mind. We talk through our day-to-day routines, the do’s and don’ts and the biggest lessons we’ve learnt in business along the way.  This episode is a lesson in self-confidence, self discipline and an unwavering stubbornness to work for anyone other than ourselves.  Being self employed is a wild ride, but also hugely rewarding and we hope this episode is enough to encourage anyone to make the leap and go full time.LINKS: Follow us on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/weddingcapture.coWatch along on Youtube at: https://www.youtube.com/@WeddingCaptureCoPodcastKeywords: Christmas, Self employment, wedding industry, sole trader, wedding photography, wedding videography, self discipline, running a business.
