If you listen to main stream media and those that read the newspaper you are likely to hear that doom and gloom (aka a recession) is coming. Or perhaps its already here, depends who you talk to, but in my positive opinion it actually doesn't have to be all bad, in fact, from what I have seen plenty of luxury brands actually thrive when times are tough and I fully believe you can too. Here's the thing, when times get tight there will always still be opportunities available to you to increase your business if you clearly articulate your brand value, focus some energy on adverting to become more visible and keep your mindset in check. And most importantly now is the time to build more income streams into your business so you don't only rely on one income source. Perhaps it is time to become more creative than you have in the past with what you offer, lean into how you use your time and really be open and see all the opportunities that are available to you to make money.

Mini Sessions can be a photographers achilles heel, they seem to have been around for a very long time and "most photographers" seem to offer them but, could they be keeping you from reaching your income goals and scaling your business financially? You might feel like you have to do them because people won't pay your full prices (hello money blocks) or you may see it as a nice way to offer a discount to clients in order for them to have a session with while you're secretly praying you can up sell them to more images after the session. Yikes! Regardless of why you have been doing them it is really important to understand that if they are not done correctly eg you are still doing practically the same amount of work for half the price then chances are you are just shooting yourself in the foot and not actually doing your business justice and making the money you need. But do not fear, all is not lost. In this episode I am sharing how I run mini sessions as a marketing opportunity that makes it easy and less time consuming but leaves your clients wanting more (i.e wanting to book a full session with me later) I would love to know what you think of this episode, so please head over to Instagram @bossmotive_liz.morris and let me know.

The best thing about being an entrepreneur and having your own business has got to be the ability to change direction, pivot and try new things whenever you feel called to do it. In the last year or 2, I have been out and about trying a variety of new things, including online digital courses, selling digital products and scaling my e-commerce store to new heights. So you may be wondering why I chose to give up a perfectly good photography business, why I have been out testing all these different business models and why I have been stretching my own capacity to gain mastery and confidence in coaching others to do what I have done. Well, even if you weren't wondering, I am sharing it all here in this episode.

If you are relying on trading your time for money (service business such as being a Photographer) you will NEVER be able to scale past a certain point. Why? because we are limited by the number of hours in a day, days in the week, and weeks in the year and as humans, we actually want to have a life (well I know I do) It is time to realize that whilst a 1:1 service business is a great entry point and can give you some financial return, in order to scale to higher revenue months and maintain the business without burn out you need to do things differently. I touch on this in this episode today but if you want to learn how I have done this in more depth and how I help my clients do this the right way, follow this link and watch my FREE MasterClass - Products to Profit: https://www.bossmotive.com/products-to-profit

This episode is all about Confidence. How as mums in business we can lose our identity and it can be really hard to "show up". We talk about how to make those shifts and really loving and appreciating who we are again as Women and business owners and how once we find this confidence again it can be enhanced through our wardrobes. Let me introduce you to Kamri Hill: Kamri Hill is a mum of 3, wife, personal stylist and digital entrepreneur. She has been in the fashion industry for over 10 years now and has been running Kamri Hill Styling for 4 years now. She is uber passionate about helping women become confident in themselves from the inside, out. As a personal stylist, she shows women the best clothes to suit them, but it goes deeper than that for her. She shows women the importance of believing that they are worthy of the time, love and effort it takes to show up and represent themselves to the world at their most confident. She does this through working with women one-on-one in person as well as her online programs, where she coaches women to know and understand what it takes to build a wardrobe that they love and want to wear every single day.

Mel's purpose is to teach and empower women who want more from their business, on how to use content in a genuine way.
