#62 - How to find confidence to work with clients with Anja Burgar

Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me.There’s a food brand or a restaurant you absolutely love. You dream of photographing for them, to work with their products and earn some moolah too. But you think about it and say, “Nah! Why would they work with me?”And there.. your dreams never take shape. How often do we stop ourselves from sending out a pitch or reaching out to a client thinking that we’re not ready or we’re not good enough?And then, even if we reach out, how often do we lose hope when we don’t hear back from them?We think they didn’t like our work.And boom… all the courage we muster, comes crashing down.Finding courage, feeling competent and staying confident irrespective of the external factors, is one of the toughest challenges of being a creator and entrepreneur.  In this week's episode we have the talented, Anja Burgar from @useyournoodles telling us all about finding confidence, staying confident and making money doing what we love.She talks about the reasons creators hesitate from reaching out to brands, the role of a streamlined process, how to deal with rejections, the importance of the right fee structure and much more.If you’re holding yourself back waiting to feel “ready” OR you feeling beaten up because of the way a client situation turned out, this episode is for you. Confidence isn’t just for beginners. It is a muscle that we need to continuously build no matter how far we are in our journey. We all feel shaky when we are starting out or when situations don’t go our way. Every small and big situation either gives or takes away our confidence. Everything we encounter in our creative journey contributes to how confident and competent we feel. But most often when we feel we are not skilled enough, it is not really true. We are skilled enough, we just don’t have the confidence in ourselves. Processes and mindset, both play a huge role in helping us build the muscle of confidence.Don’t let your dream projects slip by. You have what it takes. You just have to believe that you do. ​Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available at  https://myfoodlens.com/62-how-to-find-confidence-to-work-with-clients-with-anja-burgarEpisode 49 - https://myfoodlens.com/49-a-powerful-skill-to-differentiate-yourself-as-a-food-photographer-and-win-over-the-competition/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch
