Do you ever have burning questions about your photography business that you wish you could just get the answer to NOW? Maybe you want clarity on the nitty-gritty details of your photography business, like what type of social media content to create, or whether it's worth it to study the Instagram algorithm, or whether ads are better than giveaways.Well the thing is, sometimes what you need more than an answer to your burning question is a higher-quality question in the first place! The type of questions you ask yourself can have a huge impact on the growth of your business. Too often, I see photographers asking themselves unproductive questions that leave them stuck in the weeds, overwhelmed, and forgetting to see the big picture. That's why in this week's episode, I'm sharing some examples of high-quality questions to ask yourself to grow your photography business. In this previously live Q&A session I did with my photography community, I provide you with real examples of how to reframe your questions to get clarity on your next business move. My intention with this episode is to help you learn how to be your own source of guidance. By listening to how I respond to my students' questions, my hope is that you'll get inspiration for how to ask yourself higher-quality questions so you can become your own source of inner guidance!Tune in to discover:My “talk test” for gauging if a business strategy is right for meAn inside look at how I outsource my photo editing to reduce 90% of the work (so I can focus on the things that only I can do in my business)Why constantly tweaking my workflow isn't the drag that you'd think it is (and how it actually creates SO much freedom)Why I'll never settle when it comes to outsourcing, why it's SO worth the time to find great people to outsource your workHow posting on Instagram right when the inspiration strikes is a huge magnet for my communityWhy working on my personal brand has worked so well for me as my lead generation strategy, and what that looks likeHow sharing my music taste online helped me book a new awesome clientWhy my #1 focus is client satisfaction (and an inside look at how it benefits me in the long run)RESOURCES + LINKS:Crystal Clear Marketing course: https://courses.saramonika.com/crystal-clear-marketing-enrollImagen Ai editing tool: https://imagen-ai.com/?ref_id=151662007

How to position yourself in the market and set your rates can be one of the biggest challenges as a freelancer. If you can't describe your services, process and value in a way that resonates with clients, you'll struggle to charge the rates you'd like.Maybe you know you're undercharging, or you want to move away from using an hourly rate that you KNOW isn't working for you, but you just aren't sure how to sell your new pricing to your clients.In this episode, I chat to Samantha Anderl and Andrea Wildt, who are the founders of Harlow. Harlow is an all-in-one freelancing tool to provide the resources, templates and workflows that you need to run a thriving freelance business.In our conversation, we cover:The pitfalls freelancers can fall into with pricingHow to demonstrate the value you bring to a clientWhy you should set project rates than an hourly rateWhen you should (and shouldn't) compare your rates to other freelancersHow consistent messaging and a compelling story can help you charge more.Resources on pricing:https://meetharlow.com/guides/freelancer101/how-to-figure-out-your-pricing/https://meetharlow.com/blog/when-to-raise-your-freelance-rates/https://meetharlow.com/blog/how-to-discuss-freelancer-fees-with-your-clients/Say hi to Samantha and Andrea:Harlow: meetharlow.comTwitter: @MeetHarlowLinkedIn: HarlowInstagram: @meetharlowFacebook: MeetHarlowTikTok: @meetharlowSamantha's Twitter: @SamanthaAnderlAndrea's Twitter: @thelittlestfleaSay hi to Louise:Louise Shanahan is a freelance health and medical copywriter and a big fan of finding your freelance niche.

Take any story in the daily business news and there's likely to be a securities finance angle to it, says Roy Zimmerhansl, my guest in the latest episode of the New Money Review podcast.Under his original plan to buy Twitter, Elon Musk, for example, was supposed to pledge Tesla shares worth $62.5bn as part of a margin loan. The debt was to be secured by that Tesla stock, which could be seized by the lenders in the case of default.Musk is now trying to back out of the deal. But such repurchase (“repo”) and securities lending agreements are a critical but little-understood part of the financial markets. Roy is a securities finance expert and someone well-equipped to throw light on this area. A 42-year veteran of the financial markets, during his career he has specialised in global custody, securities lending, prime brokerage and securities finance. He was in charge of securities lending for several banks and broker-dealers and now runs his own consulting firm, Pierpoint Financial Consulting Ltd.In the 40-minute podcast, Roy tells listeners why we should all be paying closer attention to securities finance. We cover:Why securities lending and repo operations are critical to wholesale financeHow lending and repo can lower the cost of financeWhy your pension fund and insurer may be lending their shares and bondsHow the 1982 Drysdale default changed bond lending practicesHow a US bankruptcy code change in 1984 sparked huge growth in repoWhy Roy turned down Barings bank as a potential clientWhy having good collateral won't protect you from a bad counterpartyShort selling bans, frozen assets and market liquidityWhy 2008 was the high-water mark for repo and securities lending

Dealing with Goliath: Psychological Edge for Business Leaders
My guest today Mr Alastair McDermott. I've known Alastair since about 2007 or so, we even had a business project together for a few years and even to this day he's very much who I call on for a different perspective and his very valuable insights.As it happens, he also did a fabulous job on the recent upgrade to almcbride.com. Known as the websitedoctor, he more recently focused in on what he was doing for years already, which is marketing for consultants.Alastair helps independent consultants to generate more leads consistently so they can eliminate their dependence on referrals, and get out of the feast-famine cycle. He does this by helping them create and execute a simple, effective marketing strategy that works for their business and client base.He is a former software engineer, now marketing consultant. He built his first website on GeoCities in the before-time of 1996, and he was been hooked on websites ever since. He left a "safe" corporate job in early 2007 to start and grow his first business during the worst recession in modern history - that was a wild ride. Along the way he co-founded several start-ups, some of which were mildly successful, and he has written a book called "Running a Website with WordPress: A Quick Guide for Business Owners".Topics explored:The risks of action and more importantly inactionYour website is not for you, it's for you clientThe dangers of word of mouth referralReplacing word of mouth referrals but not replacing the trustContent marketing; educate and entertainHow to start becoming an authority in your nicheEverybody gets imposter syndromeThe Dunning-Kruger effect; why experts are less confidence in their knowledge than beginnersThe Specialization AdvantageThe downside of the platform specialistHorizontal specialization in the problem or outcome rather than the customer / clientWhy choosing a vertical specialization is most advantageous The rolodex momentHow to start creating valuable content for your niche audienceEnlightened self interest and fiduciary responsibilityWeb design as a translation project: search for the underlying, unspoken needs
