I’ve been hosting this podcast for almost two years now. Having a sustainable business isn't as easy as it should be.

One of the first episodes I recorded was about my thoughts on sustainability and what it’s about. So I decided to look at what I said back then as it doesn't feel like my business is very sustainable at the moment.

This is me being honest and (hopefully) giving you some tips on how you can be more sustainable as well.

As photographers, we often deal with clients who are interested in working with us and some can’t afford our services. 

So what can you do? There’s nothing we can do about those clients who can’t afford us. There's always gonna be someone who can't afford what you have to offer, but when it comes to those people who do have the money, but choose to prioritize differently, those are the ones that we can do something about because in many cases, they can afford it.

There's no right or wrong here, but oftentimes couples don't see that they have a choice because it's so common to spend the money on the dress, the cake, the sit-down dinner, and the decor, that it doesn't occur to them to prioritize differently.

And it's the same for you as the photographer. In this latest podcast episode, I'll share with you how to invest in your photography business when you can't afford to.

Are you where you want to be with your photography business? Or do you see that there is room for you to grow?

The best way to improve your photography business is --- to invest in it! As in paying money for things that will make your business better by increasing your revenue, saving you time, or just making you enjoy your work more.

When you're considering investing, it's important to think: What can I get from this? How can my business benefit from this? Will it save me time? Will it make me more money? Will it make me enjoy my work more?

Or is it just an expense? Is it just something that I'm not gonna see any results from and that I'm just buying because I think it looked fun or that I wanted it?
