from The Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast

Be honest with me for a second. How many courses or memberships are sitting in your hard drive, your email, or your Google Drive right now... untouched? If your hand just went up, welcome. You are in very good company. In this episode (which you can watch on YouTube or listen to right here), I'm putting on my counseling hat (yes, I have a master's in mental health counseling, and no, I won't invoice you 😆) to walk through the five real reasons you're not using the education you've already paid for and the five steps to reengage this week.This is not a lecture. This is not me wagging my finger at you. This is a real conversation about the gap between purchasing education and actually using it. I've been guilty of this too, and I want us to work through it together so we can stop leaving money on the table and start making progress in our businesses.What you'll hear in this episodeWhy motivation is the worst long-term fuel for using your courses (and what to rely on instead)The real reason you logged into that membership once, poked around, and then ghosted itHow overwhelm tricks your brain into closing all the tabs before you even startThe missing piece that has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with a systemAnd So Much More!Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode▸ Read the full blog post that goes with this episode (that way, you get all the links mentioned): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/photographers-not-using-online-courses/▸ The Family Photographer's Marketing Society: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/the-family-photographers-marketing-society▸ Grab the FREE Family Photographers Marketing Trends Report: https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/family-photography-marketing-trends▸ Apply HERE to work with me to be your 1:1 marketer for your family photography business!Connect with Me (Dolly DeLong Education)💻 Website📱Instagram🎥 YouTubeThanks for joining me on The Systems & Workflow Magic Podcast!
