One year ago, he hated his career at a tech firm so much that the Sunday Scaries had started on Saturday. He dreaded Mondays and the job that was sucking the life out of him.

At $300-$500 per session, he couldn't cover the mortgage. Now, a year later, Darren Elias is crushing it as a career photographer who has replaced his income from that full- time job he hated and gone all in on boutique. Press play to hear his story.

Ever feel like you are re-living the same low paying, work all the time life in the name of being able to have time with your family? That was me in the first few years of my business. I felt like I was stuck in Ground Hog Day, the movie. I ended each year SO empty. Exhausted. Tired. Cranky. And disappointed at my profits. Even as my revenue went up, I was STILL working all the time. I was learning so many lessons the hard way. OVER. And OVER. And OVER. Today, I'm sharing the magic tool that helped me get out of Ground Hog Day and stop repeating the same mistakes.
