In this episode, we're talking about the marketing "real real" and what actually is and is NOT marketing. There's so much junk out there (BS, if you will) about marketing, and a lot of it is feel-good garbage that doesn't actually help you. This episode is Part 2 of a 2 part series that breaks down what I would honestly say to my former self, a best friend, or anyone I really cared about when it comes to the importance of Marketing for your photography business. (Be sure to go back and listen to last week's episode if you haven't already!)

Ever felt that little feeling of comparison creep up inside you? Have you ever talked to someone in your personal life, or found yourself on someone’s account on social media, and before you know it, you’re sizing yourself up next to their achievements and their accomplishments?  We’re talking all about it today in this episode covering the topic of COMPARISON, and the under-talked about feeling of “envy.” In fact, I bet MANY of you have improperly defined envy in your brain, and I want to give you an eye-opening chat about how it sneaks in, how it can damage our potential in business and our hearts inside of us, and then I want to offer you an alternative to it that can actually help you (and others) succeed, simultaneously.  Let’s get into it… --- ✍️⁠⁠CLICK HERE TO RATE & REVIEW THE PODCAST ON APPLE PODCASTS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✍️(Click the link, scroll down to where it says “Ratings & Reviews” and click the small link that says “Write a Review”) ️⭐️Join the Waitlist for Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:⁠THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT⁠⭐️ ⁠📄Get my FREE Inquiry Email Response Template HERE.⁠📄

In this episode I’m diving into how and WHY to share more of yourself, who you are, and your personal brand on social media (primarily Instagram). There are several common questions that I’m asked a lot when it comes to social media as a small business owner. Things like: Why do I need to share myself personally if I’m in business? Should I have a personal and biz account… or just one? What should I share or not share? And also… how do you share so freely, Nate? So if you’re wondering any of these questions, then you’re in the right place, because I’m tackling all of these questions today!

In today’s episode I am talking about something that I think a lot of people need to hear and that’s why photography isn’t like a lot of other normal businesses. I’ve learned a lot of different things from different business mentors, books, even my own college degree in business. In order to do that, you have to learn how to sift through what applies and even translate it all to your business! I believe this is KEY to running a successful business, so in this episode I’m breaking down how to look at these other industries and filter what you learn in a way that is constructive, applicable, and appropriate.

She has such a pulse on how crucial vendor connections are for bookings and has so many helpful suggestions to share with us today.
