How to stand out from the crowd, so you get booked?

If you’re just one of too many, it can be really hard to stand out. And the chances are high that price plays a huge part in getting chosen.

Instead of competing only by the price, show your personality and your values, you’re more likely to get booked because of that. And you can charge more because you’re unique, instead of just another one. So booking more can look like more shoots, for more money or more of the right people.

When you’re showing up as yourself, you’ll start to attract Better clients. And by better, I mean people that are more like you. One photographer's dream client is another photographer’s nightmare, which is SO great. There are right people out there for YOU - you just have to dare to show up as yourself instead of hiding away or trying to be someone you’re not.

The most unique thing about you could be what you’re most afraid of showing - which might be the things your right clients would love the most. 

Check out the full episode to learn more about how you can stand out to get more of your dream clients by showing YOUR personality and magic!

Why is it a good idea to actually pay for education? And how can you increase your income by investing in education? 

These days, many people will think about why they should pay for education if there are so many free online courses. The truth is that you can waste A LOT of time googling until the end of the time, just circling around the same instead of actually having a process and a line of learning.

In this episode, we have a special guest Yvonne van Dalen, a Business Beast and Marketing Strategist and Founder of the Creatives’ Coach Academy, where she helps struggling creatives entrepreneurs and photographers worldwide turn their passion into a profitable business.

Her signature method has enabled her to make 6-figures income while working only 10 hours a week, raising two kids, and having survived depression. 

What we talk about in this episode:

• Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make
• Building a business based on who you are
• How to stop trying to do everything at once
• Art is so underestimated

Two knows more than one, and you don’t have to go it alone. Better yet, by investing in education, you can speed up your business growth and results tremendously and save tons of time, anxiety, and frustration. Investing in your own education is not a selfish act. It is in fact, the opposite: by becoming better in what you do and more focused on what you offer, your clients are better heard, served, and will become your superfans!

Do you know how powerful your thoughts are?

Your thoughts and mindset are some of the most important things to make it!  Your thoughts and your beliefs determine what choices you make. We have become facts in our minds. But just like fake news can come across as truth, you can have beliefs that you start to think of as facts that you can’t do anything about. 

Your mindset can hold you back from success or push you towards it. In this episode, we will talk about how to get rid of negative thoughts and focus on building habits and behaviors that will help move you forward with confidence!
