Episode 37: Why you should be an entrepreneur that happens to be a creative. with Bryan Caporicci

  Today's episode is genuinely inspiring not only because Bryan Caporicci an award-winning photographer shares the inside scoop on his journey as a creative. However, he's not just and photographer but also an educator and supporter of fellow creatives. Sharing advice in a simple, clear way he might just inspire you to take action. He's a real specialist when it comes to helping photographers run their businesses, which means he's sharing his top tips on the show. Even though he's specialist, he's sharing knowledge that will help every creative no matter what your creating. Takeaways from today's show: See yourself as an entrepreneur, that happens to be a creative. Not the other way round. Running a creative business means you spent 20% of the time creating your actual creative work and the rest promoting it and running your business. Surround yourself with people or tools that support your weaknesses or take away work that you don't have to be doing, so you can spend more time creating your creative work. Don't wait until you feel ready to charge for your creative work, just start charging for your work and increase prices slowly.
