For over 40 years I’ve had the honor of capturing love stories as a wedding photographer for fabbo couples in authentic moments from coast to coast. Along the way I’ve met some of the most talented and hard-working business owners, many of whom I’m proud to call friends. Working alongside them, the conversations we shared often turned to burnout, frustration, and the loss of excitement, they felt their purpose was gone.

 It’s those conversations that led me here today, ready to cheer you on. I’m on a mission to empower you to make an impact as the CEO of your business. 

I help ambitious creatives build a sustainable business that they love & their clients love more is my joy. Because when you do well, you can do good! 

Let’s work together to help you transform your business into a prosperous career with a purpose. Because you should be able to make a difference and a living, agreed?

How do you know when it is time to hire a Virtual Assistant? When you get to the place where it's time to hire a qualified person to help you run your business, what do you do first?  With so many differences in rates and even specialties, you might wonder exactly what to do in order to get the best VA for you. 

The biggest question is often how do you know when your time is better spent serving your clients and not doing a particular task in your business? How do you know when you can afford not to be doing the things you don't want/need to do--- and hire that Virtual Assistant? Maybe you ARE a Virtual Assistant. Adding value to your clients might involve seeking out a virtual assistant mentor. Hiring a business coach/mentor is the best way to get on track and quickly see measurable results. 

Knowing how to choose a VA, making sure you have a contract, & thinking about a non-disclosure agreement are all parts of the very important decision to hire a new team member. Episode 51 of the Be Fabbo Podcast dives in to how to decide and get this done in the way that will best benefit you and your business.

Bobbi and Meredith Ryncarz dive deep into The Restart Specialist, a vital topic for the times every wedding creative lives in. Moving your business, honoring the wedding professionals in your new area, curating your portfolio, and following the regulations are just a few of the things discussed. Meredith, a former college art professor turned photographer (Meredith Ryncarz Photography) who never dreamed of owning a business now does that and more. As an Army wife and a momma to two crazy minions, she learned quickly that she couldn’t just do the thing she was passionate about. She had to find a way to balance the art with not only running a business but also restarting it over and over again in new places. Out of that experience, she became obsessed with helping creatives develop a flexible and efficient business model that enables them to thrive in the market they are in or the market they want to be in.

Meredith is a total INFJ who can often be mistaken for an extrovert with a pursuit for deep conversations held over a glass of whisky. She loves hole in the wall restaurants, museums, and farmers markets.
