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.

Kathleen and James join forces to pull off one last job… talking about Leigh Bardugo's excellent fantasy heist, Six of Crows. James fails to keep his cool and cracks under the pressure. Kathleen discovers she enjoys fantasy heists and tries to reconcile this fact with the person she thought she was. The stakes are high, but the rewards are higher in this episode of Booked Solid.

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.

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.

In this episode, Olly speaks with Wesley Swanson about becoming a successful online language teacher. Wes decided he wanted to move to China, and was looking for ways to earn an income while he was there, which led him to Olly's Online Teaching Accelerator programme. He had no teaching background, but loved languages and was attracted by the idea of earning a living online doing something meaningful. After completing the course, and taking it VERY seriously, Wes soon found himself booked solid, and had students telling him: "I chose you over the hundreds of other teachers I saw online!"

Most wantrepreneurs are still at the stage of having no clue how to get clients, having no consistent income stream, and worrying about having no portfolio to even show potential clients.

Her book being a business development book rather than a self-help book. Paula's concept of negative thoughts as 'saboteurs'. What makes new small business owners vulnerable to negative ideas. The self-assessment process in Paula's book. Honoring what you do in business. Busting myths about money. Feeling the joy and thinking big- to trick your brain and change your mindset. How your self-esteem affects your value in your business. How we tend to underestimate our talents, because they make things seem easy. You don't have to be your history.

On today’s episode of Financial Fluency, I’m so excited to have Tepsii (one name, like Madonna!). She has a true corporate to self-employment success story. Tepsii is a creative copywriter and coach who crafts simply-amazing-tailor-made copy for entrepreneurs ready to make serious moola online and create the freedom lifestyle they’ve always dreamt of. She was inspired to be a copywriter by listening to Kimra Luna’s copywriter in the first round of Be True Brand You. She started out as a life coach, but copy was obviously her thing. She made $25K in her first two months and decided that she could probably quit her day job. Less than four months later, her husband quit his job, they sold their house, and they packed up their entire family, including three daughters, and moved back to her home country of South Africa, all on her copywriting income. Let her story inspire you and check out how you can sharpen your copywriting skills. Find Tepsii at writetoprofit.com and check out her Sold Out and Booked Solid program at booked.tepsii.com.
