Get a "Heck Yes" with Carissa Woo Wedding Photographer and Coach

Happy Woo Wednesdays!

I have my past student Kimberly Taylor in the house, mom and owner of KTay Photography in San Francisco Bay. She went through my "The Woo Factor Method" 3 month program.

Before working with me, her IG feed was of her cat. Now she is shooting high end weddings. I helped her launch her new website, make-over her ig, execute a whole rebrand, and re-did her copy. We named her the chasing colorful sunsets photographer and I will always remember her as that. Her warmth is contagious. 

Her mind shifts are inspiring and inspire me to never get down and myself and only focus on my goals. Kimberly inspires us to try new things, it's ok if it is hard and takes lots of work and to prioritize education and  learning about your craft.

I am such a proud coach.

Hot Topic

Setting up your brand and starting a business

*Play off your style, personality, and ideal client

*Don't be afraid to try something new until you are happy

*Pace yourself, take breaks, it's a marathon, not a mile

*List your goals for the week, write them down. Also, make a list of priorities in your life and stick to that

Happy Woo Wednesdays!

I love Heidi Thompson and I'm so excited to be a speaker at her summit on August 22nd.

She is no-fluff and very pragmatic. Her background is in marketing so she brings a different perspective to the industry than many others who are wedding pros turned business coaches. She actually marketed poop for a living for a time. Helping wedding pros market their amazing skills and talents is way easier than that!

The old way of looking at ideal clients isn't doing anything for them and instead, they need to talk to their best clients to attract more of them.

Hot Topic: 

Clone Your Best Clients - Actionable things your listeners can do right away to attract more of their ideal clients. I published a book on the topic called Clone Your Best Clients and it details the process that I take clients through so that they attract more of their best clients. In it, I get into actually talking to your best clients and interviewing them and my clients and readers have gotten a lot out of getting out of their own heads and talking to them.

Do you have a bad money story that is holding you back? You may have a bad money story and not even know it.

Today, we dive deep into what could be holding you back from making the next digit in your paycheck. Level up with us today. The only thing holds us back from our greatest and UNIQUE path of success and happiness is the willingness to understand and embrace the truth that everyone creates their life by design differently. And the less we buy into the rhetoric of living someone else's definition of "success" or "happiness", the more prosperous we'll be.

Happy Woo Wednesdays! Today Alora and I are doing a double trouble episode. I'm posting this on my podcast and she is posting the same convo on her podcast.

Today she is going to share her insight on how to create luxury high-end clients and I'm giving insight into how to close them. It's just a real and raw conversation.

We met on the gram and shortly learned that we are twins, both wedding photographs and educations, podcasters, moms of 2 kids the same age and have so much more in common.

I love how her parents instilled in her that she could do anything!

She used her passion for fashion and incorporated it into her biz

I love the story  of her sharing how she went viral  and  booked 17 weddings in one month.

She makes me laugh so hard and so happy.
