You started your business because you love photography… but when it comes to the marketing, strategy, and admin side of things? It’s slowly killing the joy you once found in your craft.

You worry that too much structure will throttle your ability to think creatively…but as it turns out, strategy isn’t suffocating- it’s freeing!

And “profit” isn’t a dirty, four-letter word- it’s an essential ingredient in making sure your business runs well and serves the needs of everyone in your sphere of influence- your clients, your loved one, and you.

Join brand photographer Abby Grace to learn how to cultivate both sides of creative entrepreneurship- being an artist AND a CEO.

On this episode, we’ll be jumping into the tricky world of pricing in the creative industry. As an artist, society isn’t going to be the one to tell you you should charge more in order to turn a profit- it’s going to come down to you knowing what it costs to run your business, what you need to bring in in order to meet your financial needs, what kind of long-term savings goals you have like college funds, retirement, heck- even that Disney trip you’ve been wanting to take with your kids! Healthy businesses grow year over year, and in order to do that, you’ve got to turn a PROFIT.
