I enjoy Sabrina’s podcast so much- she offers clear insight on focusing on your business and continuing to grow, even when things are hard or slow. The podcast is great for photographers or small business owners in any stage of business- you will always leave with something to take away and apply.

When Business Is Slow

I just listened to this episode and it really gave me some ideas on what I can be doing when I’m not getting clients. I am a brand new business and kind of feel like I’m fumbling around trying to figure out what I should be doing when photographers around me have so much business. This episode definitely helped me feel like I’m not doing anything wrong, but there’s a lot that I can be doing to better my business. Thank you!
