#9 - Four skills to grow as a photographer and entrepreneur

In this solo episode of De Donkere Kamer, Kaat walks you through her own yearly planning and shares four skills you can train to really move forward in the year ahead, both as a photographer and as an entrepreneur. She starts from her own experience of the past year, when a schedule that was always too full left her no room to think about direction or growth, and explains how she broke that pattern.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy taking a critical look at your current situation is the starting point for any good yearly plan, and which question you need to ask yourself first.How to make choices faster, even if you're naturally inclined to keep everyone happy or to keep pushing decisions ahead of you.Why regular self-reflection helps you spot blind spots before they slow down your business.How to deal with the tension around a big decision, and why that tension often points to something you truly want.What kind of mentor Kaat wants to be in 2025, and which photographers her 1:1 mentoring is for.Links and resourcesCameranu (partner of this episode): Cameranu is Kaat's go-to for photography equipment.
