Have you ever wished you could balance a successful business, while still enjoying time with your family? I sat down with Brittany Strum, a seasoned family and newborn photographer, who not only succeeded in doing that, but also offers wisdom on how to accomplish it in less than 15 hours a week. Brittany's journey from a hobbyist to a full-time photographer and entrepreneur is truly inspiring and filled with practical advice that will benefit any small business owner. 

In the midst of juggling my own business and personal life, I've found a method to squeeze in work hours without sacrificing family time, and I'm excited to share it with you. I've also done a thorough time audit to locate areas where I can efficiently batch or outsource tasks. It's all about redefining success, understanding the value of time, and cherishing the joys of actively participating in my children's lives.

This episode is packed with practical productivity and time management strategies. We also dive into the crucial topic of teaching children autonomy from a young age, and how societal pressures can often make us forget its importance. We also delve into the art of automating and outsourcing tasks, which can significantly lighten our load. You'll hear about creating traditions out of convenience, and how something as simple as a Friday night pizza can bring comfort and familiarity to your family. This is an episode filled with nuggets of wisdom that will help you rethink how you spend your time, both personally and professionally.

Do you ever find yourself doubting your own abilities, worried that you'll be exposed as a fraud at any moment? If so, you're not alone.

This week, we're joined by mindset expert Kamini Wood to discuss imposter syndrome, limiting beliefs, and how to break free from the cycle of perfectionism that too often holds us back from reaching our full potential.

Kamini shares her own personal journey of transformation, as she set out to help her children break through the negative self-talk and people-pleasing tendencies that had taken root in her own life. We dive into the importance of recognizing and dismantling false beliefs, often formed during childhood, and how to harness the power of comparison for good, rather than letting it consume us. Kamini also provides valuable insights on how to confront feelings of fraudulence, reminding ourselves that we've earned our place in our respective fields.

Don't miss this powerful conversation with Kamii Wood, as we explore the steps to overcoming self-doubt and embracing a strong, unshakable mindset.

Plus, find out how you can download Kamini's free ebook on limiting beliefs and connect with her on social media to continue the journey toward self-confidence and personal growth. Say goodbye to imposter syndrome and hello to a more authentic, empowered version of yourself.

We have all heard the saying "don't put all your eggs into one basket" - and it absolutely applies to your business as well. 

in 2019 I had a thriving wedding photography business with a booked out calendar of clients and consistent income...

Then 2020 hit and the wedding industry came to a stand-still. For a lot of photographers it was the breaking point. Their business couldn't survive and they had to shut things down.

Fortunately, I was not 100% reliant on my photography services for income. I had built up a variety of income streams that I could lean on when one portion of my business wasn't producing income.

In this week's replay episode I am sharing several of the income streams from my own business and well as ideas of income streams you can add to your business.
