Standing on the Edge of the Abyss with Mim Quine

Send us Fan Mail"I want to give a gift..." Love Mim's approach in realizing that while she wants to be able to give a gift to the people she photographs and that means she needs to be sustainable and it needs to be worth her time. As much as we love our craft, the second we have created a business, we need to ensure that our infrastructure and sales process generates revenue so that our investment: in gear, wardrobe, education, subscriptions, insurance, and what WE are paid so the love we pour into our clients and our craft is accounted for so we can keep going.What does that require of us?Knowing what our energetic limits are and managing our time so that we can serve at our full power.Projecting where and when those inquiries and bookings will ebb and flowKnowing WHO and WHAT we want to photograph Connecting, really CONNECTING within our communities to make people aware of what we do, who we serve, and that there are opportunities to participateMim has this beautiful way of seeing people, and seeing through how we judge ourselves and being present enough to be of service to them when they are ready to shift that narrative. Cat gives Mim an exercise too in organizing her calendar so that she can be effective and sustainable in her marketing efforts so that Mim can be consistent throughout the year to reach the goals she has in place and you can too!Find Mim here:Website: https://www.mimquinephotography.com/Instagram: @mim_quine_photographyFull episode also available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/v23kuSsAX_U Support the showABOUT CAT FORD-COATESCat Ford-Coates has been told to soften her whole career.She didn't.She built a multi-six-figure business teaching photographers that the thing keeping them stuck was never the market, the portfolio, or the pricing. It was the voice. The one that sounds like wisdom. The one that keeps moving the goalpost and calling it patience.She's spent over a decade in rooms with photographers who are extraordinarily talented and somehow still convinced they should be grateful for what they have.She disagrees. Loudly.Cat serves photographers who already know what they want. Who know what they're capable of. Who have known for a while, actually, and have spent years finding sophisticated reasons not to claim it.The question was never whether you're ready.You already know you are. Stop pretending that you don't.
