The first Shoot to the Top Webinar is on the 2nd of April and it's all about getting higher value clients for your business. ⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out more and book click here.⁠⁠⁠Dan started as an engineer and then moved over to running a photography business. Dan got a studio early in his career. When he started, there was a group of local businesseswith a shared space where he started with a desk. Then, as others left, he took over more of the space to make it his studio. Sam likes a few things on his website, especially the call to action “apply to work with us”.  Dan said he got the ideafrom the book “Booked Solid” by Paul J DiGrigoli It gives the impression that he is so busy that you have to apply to work with him as he is so busy. Dan has upended his about page, making it entirely about the visitor, not about him. Marcus asks about the video and Dan said he got into this due to demand rather than it being something he wanted to do. Dan outsources any work he gets in. So, he works as a creative director, but the sub-contractor films and edits the videos.he says there are lots of freelancers out there who can work with you. Dan says that estimating the edit time is one of the most challenging parts of a video quote. Marcus asks Dan about his style and he says his style develops as you shoot rather than trying to force a style upon your work. Sam asks Dan about his niching as his work is very niched. Dan says this is largely based on his background and who he knew when he was an engineer. Although initially he was very general, he then focused on a niche. Dan said he found that once he niched, everything became much easier in terms of marketing and getting referrals. Dan said the secret of niching is also that you don't have to stick to your niche with your work, only in your marketing. Sam also discussed the idea that niching allows you to charge more as you are a specialist, not ageneralist.Dan has a group he has put together called fathers of Focus. This is a group for photographers that he runs. Dan wants to help others. He finds that the business side of the business is something he enjoys and has lots of experience with. While many photographers don't feel confident in this area. So the group is to bring photographers together and give them confidence in running their business. The group is aimed at family focused men. To find out more about the group, youcan visit them here.Dan Barker is a former aerospace engineer who now runs a photography and video production business focused on helping manufacturers. After picking up a camera in 2012 to help with his wife's business, he realised how much he enjoyed photography. Making time to teach himself about photography and business while working full-time in aerospace engineering, he gradually began to pick up paying clients. He has a successful business which supports his family and now he helps others do the same through his mastermind community Fathers of Focus.To get the Shoot to the Top Podcast in your inbox every week to ensure you don't miss an episode,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can connect with Dan on LinkedIn here

Let's say you hired a personal trainer with the goal of "getting into shape"… But instead of coaching you, they literally did the workouts for you. They ran the miles. They lifted the weights. They meal-prepped and tracked every calorie. Meanwhile, you're on the sofa binging White Lotus... and somehow you get in the best shape of your life. That would break the entire fitness industry. But in business, that's exactly how it works. You hire people. They do the work. You get the results. Yet most 6 figure freelancers stay stuck. Overbooked. Overwhelmed. Dropping the ball on clients because they can't take on more work… but also can't say no to more money. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down exactly how to scale beyond that low six-figure plateau - without drowning in work. Whether you want to build a micro-agency to multiple six figures or a full-blown team to seven figures, this is the roadmap to hiring smart, working less, and making more.

Ben Hartley you guys. The most dynamic, most interesting, most energy packed educator in the photography space shows up in a real way in this episode. I asked Ben to have this chat with me to talk about how he has shifted his social media focus to a much more community minded approach over the last several years but what I got instead was, true to form, an intense purpose filled conversation with a brilliant mind that went much deeper. Ben is absolutely hilarious but his comedy only aids his perspective that when we show up as our best selves, when we are intentional about lifting up the communities and friends and people right around us, and when we act with integrity the results are always positive. Whether you've found Ben because of the Six Figure Photography Podcast, or his Mastermind Group, or the Booked Solid workshop series, or Abundance, or heard him on a platform stage at WPPI, or this is your first experience diving into the mind of this amazing friend of mine let me tell you directly : Ben is one of the most authentically kind people I know. This conversation all centers around his perspectives on the "long game", showing up every day in an industry that you love with your best work, your best intentions, and your most positive outlook. You'll hear throughout this chat a general perspective that is pretty counter cultural to the wedding / portrait photography industry these days that says, more than likely you already have all that you need baked into you to succeed. Ben's vision as a coach is just to help you navigate through the garbage standing in your way and that perspective is as bold as it is beautiful. Grab a coffee for this one, a notebook, and prepare to just be filled up with some goodness. https://sleek.bio/benhartley The Photographic Collective Podcast is a production of PhotoCo, hosted by Arkansas based Photography team Miles Witt Boyer and Jared Mark Fincher.

You can admire Brandon Bornancin, this week's guest on Stay Paid, for so many things: pulling himself out of poverty; earning $12M for on online poker company by the age of 21; having the grit to start a company, fail to the tune of $4M, and start again; or revolutionizing the sales industry by building Seamless.AI, a search engine that can find anyone's contact information. But one of the most admirable things about Brandon is his mindset. Brandon talks with the Stay Paid pals about his life story, how he build Seamless.AI, and great tips for appointment setting—but what really sticks with is how he sets goals and attends to what he calls “The 5 Pillars of Life.” You can get more in-depth information and added details not included in the episode from our show notes.

He's one of the biggest names in mindset and business coaching in the photographic industry. Ben Hartley has not only elevated his own career as a photographer to continually new heights over the last ten years, he has spent most of it intentionally inviting people to join him and to be frank - his ideas are a bit radical. Showing up every day and giving free education, free mindset tips, free perspective to thousands of people in his mastermind group, managing a booming workshop and mentor training program, continuing to run what is widely recognized as one of the top wedding photography studios in the world, and being an incredibly involved dad and husband sounds like a lot, but Ben is just really hitting his stride. This guy's energy, positivity, and perspective are filled with purpose and intentionally and in this talk we chat through not only a bit of his backstory but how he found the courage to really pursue success at this level. I found Ben through the Six Figure Photography Podcast years ago and long before I ever even dreamed of being on the other end of the microphone I knew I wanted to build a relationship with this guy to better understand him. Here we are years later, close friends and I now get the opportunity to share a bit of his wisdom, his big laugh, and his joy with our listeners.
