Today, I’m going to talk to you guys this week about something controversial.Like… really controversial.I teach all my students, photography business or not… to take their marketing offline.I’m not saying an online presence is bad. Truly. Although I still know thriving businesses who avoid online stuff, it’s just such a great FREE way to get your name around. For uprooted life, I reach a global audience… so it’s 100% run online. I work on my website constantly, and email automation and evergreen funnels are a huge part of what I do every day now. It’s awesome, and I’m going to touch on the logistics during a future podcast - because implementing some of this can be really beneficial to almost any business.But for brick and mortar, home-based and service-based businesses… there’s a huge benefit to taking the majority of your marketing offline. For high-end photography… it’s 100% the best way to market.But I want you to remember that the higher prices you charge… the more of your business needs to be run offline. Want to learn more about offline marketing? It's a key component in my business course for photographers.

When we were living on my husband’s teacher paycheck we had constant roadblocks in front of us regarding finances. (with 8 years of experience he’s now making $3k a month. A few years ago though, it was barely above $2k). - Before I started up my photography business… it was easy for me to make excuses. We couldn’t have a new car… new clothes… go out to eat… all these things. It was easy to bemoan life and just be like… well, life is against me.But we got REALLY good at spider braining around our problems. Did we want to go out to eat?Cool. I’d take on another piano or voice student so we could have an eating out fund.Needed a new car?Wait until tax return time… and buy a used car with cash.Need clothes for my 3 little girls?Garage sale time! I want to walk you through some steps you can take to learn to ignore excuses and just get your butt to work!Visit my website here if you want to learn more about Uprooted Life and my business course for photographers.Support the show (https://www.uprootedlife.com)

Embracing the worst case scenario can improve your performance AND your emotional well being.By asking a series of "what if" questions, we usually find that the worst-case scenario feels in our thoughts much more catastrophic than it would be if it actually came true.Exploring what it would be like to be in the worst-case scenario and survive it, we're learning to interact with our fear, and learning the things we fear aren't as major as we imagine them to be.

Motivational speaker David Schwartz once wrote:“All confidence is acquired, developed. No one is born with confidence. Those people you know who radiate confidence, who have conquered worry, have acquired their confidence, every bit of it.”Isn’t that crazy to think about? Take a second and picture the most confident or successful person you know. The key here is to know that they weren’t born with all that confidence!Yes, some people are naturally more outgoing than others.And that comes across as more confident, than say, someone who is shy.But people who are successful still needed to ACTIVATE that confidence.Here is how you can activate some of that extreme self-confidence and trade in your fears at the same time.Support the show (https://www.uprootedlife.com)

Charge premium prices.Whatever premium means in your industry, you need to just do it. Be the most expensive.Offer the best experience.Don’t do anything halfway.This mindset is especially relevant to people who run a one-on-one service-based business, where you are selling services with or without products to your customers.But it can also be relevant to those who sell just products in a store or shop. For both of these types of businesses, being the most expensive is awesome.I can’t think of a SINGLE small business that wouldn’t benefit from upgrading their biz to one focused on a luxury experience.Not one!Do you have a hard time believing me?If you don't believe it, take a few minutes and listen to this podcast episode!Support the show (https://www.uprootedlife.com)
