I heard somebody. Yay! No, she's gone. She's gone. What happened? Good. She booked like everybody she talked to and the sales have been great, but I haven't even gotten the payer commission because she heard therapist and heard disgusted and she didn't have enough structure because she was working. Yeah. Right. She was working from home because we're in a pandemic, right? And she wasn't actually living here at the time. She was going to move here and then she would have been working with me, but she... I think that's... I think this is part of planning when you are hiring somebody that most people need guidelines and most people need set hours that they're expected to turn up. It's great to give people flexibility, but they need a minimum requirement. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

Okay. So that leads me to my next question. Can I kind of ask two questions in one? Yeah, go. So, along those lines, one of the things I've kind of been obsessing over and I kind of landed on one side of it, but I'm still questioning it, is bringing in someone who I would call revenue generating. In other words, someone who could do lead calls or do discovery calls, versus bringing in someone who would take a host of the admin off of my plate, which would free up more of my time to get better at discovery calls and get more leads, et cetera, et cetera. I've kind of landed on the side of the admin, but it makes me question myself because there's no direct revenue generating that they're bringing in. And then the other piece, well, freeing. Up your time is allowing you to generate more revenue. Right. So the fact that they're going to be freeing up some of your time so you're right. There's two ways of looking at it. The more time that they free up for you to do the revenue to generate more revenue, the more revenue you're going to make. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

All right, so you're about to employ your first employee. That's very exciting. But look at your face, girl. Like, what is all this rubbish anxiety about? Like, really terrified. I am fucking terrified. Do you want oh, it is recording. I wanted to remind you to record. If it wasn't yeah, we're recording and we're capturing every swear word that comes out of your mouth. And the deal is you're not allowed to swear more than me because I'm the king of swearing. Well, I was going to say I think Anita should keep track of both of our swear words, and whichever one of us swears more gets a prize. Right? I don't know what it is. Sounds good. All right. Where is this anxiety coming from? What are you most afraid of? Okay, so I'll start with the Good super, like, just Brief Story, which is that new amazing studio that I'm in is also in this beautiful neighborhood, which my old studio was not. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com

Episode 1 the Right Focus for Wedding AlbumsI'm here with Jeff and Jen, and we're going to talk a little bit about their business and what they would love to bring to their business. So, Jeff, tell me a little bit about your business and when you're at, where you're at. So we're cook photography and we're associate model studio, I guess, if you will, of there's five, four photographers, and we're wedding. Including yourself? Including myself. And we're our wedding studio. We shoot weddings. So last year, this is the first year evolution, where we have two new associates that have just joined us, but for the past six years, six or seven years, it's been Jen and I, and Jen's grown into an associate. And like last year, we shot 50 weddings together, and the year before it was 54. So we brought in two new associates to help with the overflow of saying no. And that's where we're at right now. So you have to say no right now. Oh, yeah. Which is really hard, right? Yeah. Okay, so where do you think you have the potential? Where are you leaving money? On the table, basically. Oh, it's definitely weddings. Our model right now is we book the client, we go to the wedding, we shoot it, edit it, give them the files, digital files, and then move on to the next one. And so we've been shooting for seven years together, and we have an average, let's say an average of 40 weddings a year up this point. And if I was going to combine our total post wedding sales into a profit or how many albums, it would be not even a full year's worth of album. Welcome to Steve Saporito Education pod cast channel to learn more about what I do head over to my website www.stevesaporitoeducation.com Support the showwww.stevesaportioeducation.com
