  • Ideal Client vs. Actual Client: How to Spot the Difference
    Oct 14 2024

    Are you actually working with your ideal client?

    How many of your actual clients meet the standard you have set for your ideal clients?

    We all start our businesses with an ideal client in mind. But during that journey of building your business you might start taking on clients that are less than ideal, just to get the money. There's nothing wrong with that.

    At what point, though, does the work you're doing with your actual clients get in the way of what you could be doing with your ideal clients.

    In this episode, I detail a tough conversation with a current client that didn't go the way I wanted to, but allowed me to redefine my ideal cleints.

    I also redefine my ideal client. Here's how I redefined my ideal clients

    • They must have the appropriate budget
    • They have specific goals that we can measure
    • The work I do with them can be replicated with other, or similar, businesses.

    Thanks for listening.

  • Cashing in on Creative Photography
    Mar 5 2024

    You'll always hear that if you want to make money as a photographer or videographer you should stop shooting buildings, animals and nature, and shoot people. This is why most photographers and videographers look to go the corporate route.

    My guest, Brandon Everett, doesn't see it that way.

    Check out a video segment!

    He chose to leave the corporate realm and focus on creative photography.

    My biggest question for him was, "isn't corporate where the money is?"

    This interview was filmed at a networking event with my video podcast booth.
