Update: 2025-07-31
Description
Are you setting goals in your elopement photography business that are fueled by purpose or by pressure? If your only goal right now is to book enough elopements to pay the bills, then we need to talk. I have actually been struggling a lot with my motivation lately, and I haven't been able to figure out why, until now.
If you've been feeling stuck in survival mode, chasing the numbers, and still feeling unmotivated, this episode is for you. I share why money goals won't fuel your business long-term, the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and some journaling prompts to help you get clear on what you're actually working towards.
You don't have to white-knuckle your way through your business. Listen in to change the way you set your goals.
