We’ve heard it before, business is not for the faint-hearted and today’s guest agrees.

I’m talking about Alex Cearns who’s been in business for 15 years and has worked with pet photographers from all corners of the globe. 

We covered many topics including the usual business structures, marketing and products, but the common theme throughout was not to let fear hold you back in business. 

If you’ve caught yourself getting down after comparing your average sales to other photographers, or beating yourself up over the peaks and troughs of business, Alex’s message is sure to hit home.

In the members second-half, Alex shared how she’s booking 250 clients a year, what they’re buying, why they don’t ask for digitals and her thoughts on social media for marketing.
