Building a Business Around You with Dana Castro Medium Lady Talks

    • Personal Journals

Hello hi! Today's episode is Part Two of my interview with Dana Castro from @threecrownsbranding and www.threecrownsstudio.com. In this episode we hear more from Dana's wisdom about personal growth while also building a business that embraces the best of who you are.
Dana mentions the community of photographers she has founded, Snap Click Photographers linked here.
Other topics discussed in this episode:
Honing your emotional radar as an entrepreneur - and how this radar can be just as important as your background and experience. 
How a healthy emotional intelligence about connection and collaboration can dispel the myth of competition: the truth is there’s enough business to go around (especially if you live in a densely populated urban area).
For entrepreneurs pricing is as personal as it is professional
Don’t forget the power of using social media to be social - cold calling through their DMs is a totally acceptable way to begin a new connection (I have taken this advice literally since recording this episode!!!)
If you want to build a business, (or build literally ANYTHING at all in the world) start by doing more of what you’re already good at.
Never apologize for existing in your body and your skin - that’s better than being confident.
Plus the advice Dana would give her past self, and what she does for fun (now that photography is a business and not a hobby).
 
You can always help out the podcast by providing a rating or review, and sharing it with another Medium Lady in your life!

I love to connect with listeners, you can swing by to say hi on Instagram, @medium.lady
