After years of struggling with low-paying clients and working long hours, Amy Marlin made a remarkable change: earning six figures in under a year by shifting her approach to her photography business.

In this week's Joycast, we're talking about the "cost of inaction" and how it may be holding you back from reaching your full potential. This episode will help you uncover hidden ways to reclaim your time, boost your income, and bring more joy to your life.

Join us as we discuss:

• What the "catch-22 business" trap is and how to escape it

• The importance of valuing your time and charging what you're worth

• How small changes—like pre-session consultations—can lead to big results

• Why a simple sales system can save time while improving client relationships

Plus:

• Real-life examples of photographers who turned their side hustle into thriving businesses

• How to create a photography business that supports your family instead of stealing time from them

If you're ready to work smarter (not harder) and finally build a profitable photography business that works for you, this episode is the push you need!
