HOW TO CREATE A BRANd
HOW TO ATTRACT YOUR IDEAL CLIENt
HOW TO LEVERAGE FREE MARKETINg
HOW TO TALK TO YOUR TARGET AUDIENCe
HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA SUCCESSFULLY
In 2010 I began consulting creatives on how to build their brands and saw their businesses radically transform in a short amount of time. I soon realized that my life was destined to empower entrepreneurs to create profitable businesses while pursuing what they love.
But let’s get back to you. You’re on the cusp of doing something great with your business, and you’re committed to making it work. You just need help figuring out what to do. The best thing you can invest in are tools that will help you succeed. The Path to Profitability will teach you the following:
However, as any entrepreneur can attest, we encounter difficult phases as we navigate the choppy waters of pursuing our dreams. If you’re feeling a little bit lost, overwhelmed, and intimidated, or if you are talking yourself out of growing a business due to lack of education, money, or experience, among other things, I feel you. I’m sure there are days when one moment you feel on top of the world, and a moment later you’re alone, the self doubt causing you to cry into a pint of ice cream and watch a rerun of Shark Tank. Please don’t say I’m the only one.
In 2006, I started a business. I told my husband I wanted to be a photographer and though he supported me, he also asked, “Don’t you think you should buy a camera?” That’s right. I didn’t own a camera, but I was determined to make my dreams a reality. I didn’t have artistic education, I didn’t have the money to start my business, and I didn’t know how I was going to make things work (cue the ice cream/Shark Tank cry fest). Shortly thereafter, I discovered building a brand and creating a marketing strategy was fundamental to my success.
By 2007, I became one of the most sought after photographers in California and in 2009 was named Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World (PopPhoto). Over the years, I continued to garner awards (Top 10 Most Influential Photographer {PDN} and Top 10 Most Socially Influential Photographer {Huffington Post}, amongst others), but I realized that while my artisanship established my business, my brand is what made it thrive.
There's a good chance you're here because you have a business you love, You're passionate about what you do, and you want your business to thrive.
And while all of this is important, none of it matters if I can’t help you move past mental barriers of success. If you place hurdles in front of your progress, listen to the negative things people say, and struggle to bounce back after failure, your education won’t be worth squat. Your ability to run the business of your dreams lies in having a plan...and believing you’re destined for and capable of success. This? We’ll work through this together.
The Path to Profitability starts here.
