You launched a course, a workshop, or a digital product—something you knew could help people. But instead of a thriving education business, you got burnout, inconsistent sales, and a growing sense of frustration. Now you’re wondering… Was this a mistake?
Here’s the truth: Your pivot didn’t fail. It gave you valuable feedback. In this episode, I break down why most photographers struggle when stepping into education and the key mistakes that make teaching feel draining instead of profitable. We’ll cover:
✔ The real reason your pivot didn’t work (hint: it’s not because you’re bad at teaching)
✔ The biggest mistakes photographers make when building an education business
✔ How to create an offer that’s clear, sustainable, and actually sells
✔ Why boundaries are non-negotiable for a long-term, profitable business (and how I model this inside Pivot Academy)
If you’re ready to turn things around and build an education business that works for you—without constant launches, burnout, or students demanding 24/7 access—this episode is for you.
