Meredith, a former college art professor turned photographer (Meredith Ryncarz Photography) who never dreamed of owning a business. As an Army wife and a momma to two crazy minions, she learned quickly that she couldn’t just do the thing she was passionate about. She had to find a way to balance the art with not only running a business but also restarting it over and over again in new places. Out of that experience, she became obsessed with helping creatives develop a flexible and efficient business model that enables them to thrive in the market they are in or the market they want to be in.

Meredith Ryncarz is a former college art professor turned photographer and creative business coach. She moves to new cities about every 4 years and we discuss her strategies for "hitting the ground running" with a photography business. In this episode, Luci and Meredith discuss: Pricing and marketing for your photography business in a military community environment. The benefits of being part of the photographic community wherever you go. Managing fear through business moves and professional growth. Key Takeaways: You have money to pay for what you value – the same goes for your clients. Having a network around you is indispensable. Monitor your mental health and mindset along the way – you cannot take care of your clients if you do not take care of yourself. "You can charge what you're worth. You don't necessarily have to market to the military community - you can market to the city, or in the town over, or the county over and be an amazingly profitable photographer. But you have to do the work." — Meredith Ryncarz Connect with Meredith Ryncarz: Twitter: @MeredithRyncarz & @TheRestartSpec1 Facebook: Meredith Ryncarz Photography Website: MeredithRyncarz.com & TheRestartSpecialist.com YouTube: Meredith Ryncarz & The Restart Specialist Instagram: @meredithryncarz & @the_restart_specialist Pinterest: Meredith Ryncarz Photography | Savannah Wedding Photographer Connect with Luci Dumas: Twitter: @lucidumas Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LuciDumasCoaching/ Email: luci@lucidumas.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/luci-dumas Website: LuciDumas.com Coaching: LuciDumasCoaching.com
