🚨 Are you struggling to find the right mentor?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finding a mentor who’s right for you is not that easy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A mentor is an experienced individual in your same industry who imparts knowledge, expertise and wisdom to a less experienced person. It's easy to find someone with more experience than you (as with less experience) but not to find someone that holds your same values, someone that really is one of the best in our fields and wants to share their knowledge.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why we are proud to be able to help connect you to the right experts who can help you improve editing and shooting techniques, or many other skills.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can find out who we recommend in our website:
🔅 Go to our website (link in bio)
🔅 Click in “Directory”
🔅 Go to “Industry Friends & Partners”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t forget that if you have worked with a coach that isn’t listed there and had great results, you can let us know!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💬 Do you have a mentor already? Are you planning in to have one? Let us know in the comments!

🚨 Have you faced the unexpected challenge of self-employment: The loneliness?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it is true that turning your passion into your income is fabulous, we all know that working on your own has some challenges to overcome.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As solopreneurs we often work from home or are alone in our studio. The lack of social interaction with others who understand our job, can be really tough. That's the unexpected challenge that we aren't talking about enough: the loneliness of the self-employed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s something that many of us struggle with or have struggled with at some point of our career.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This loneliness leads to a lack of ideas, lack of motivation, feeling of being stuck and not being able to move forward…

Hands up if you can relate!

But it's not all doom and gloom because business doesn’t have to be lonely, and even less in the digital age that we are living.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are a few ideas you can do to beat the loneliness:
🔅 Work from a cozy café every now and then.
🔅 Join local digital entrepreneurial communities.
🔅 Find an accountability partner (we help our members with that!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our regular member meet up's are exactly for this. For keeping you motivated, to help you feel supported, to inspire you with new ideas. Let’s beat the loneliness together!

🚨 Are you considering a new pricing structure?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s a pretty big decision, we understand your headache.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are a lot of aspects such as competitors, customer demand, not making enough revenue, increase of the cost… or the fact that your business is evolving. Any of this aspects can make you consider a new pricing structure.
How often you should do it, depends on the growth stage of your business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These are a few things you should consider:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔅 Consider your costs
🔅 Focus on the benefits (for you and for your clients)
🔅 Know you customers
🔅 Analyze your competitors
🔅 Raise rates incrementally
🔅 Know your value and show confidence
🔅 Do it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re growing, your business has to as well. If you are getting better, your business is too.

📸 Do you suffer from a lack of inspiration for your sessions?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We all know that each session is different but capturing the personality of the dogs is the key to a great result.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For that reason, we have an essential shoot list, the 16 must-have portraits. The set of all of them is the perfect combination to have a varied and complete session to make a multi-canvas wall display or an album for the clients. Once we've taken them, we like to experiment, have fun and capture that original and special touch of each session.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Download the "Dog Photography Poses That Sell" guide and start using it in your next session!

You'll find it on our website under "Education" > "Freebies"

🚨 Are you facing a lack of marketing ideas and inspiration?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A solid marketing base is important because it allows businesses to maintain long-lasting relationships with their audience. Customer engagement is the key for success when it comes to business. And the truth is that a lack of marketing can be an obstacle to the growth of your business.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We know how challenging is to have visibility and to reach your potential clients if you are a small business but there are key strategies that can help you. We all have started, so we’ve all been there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s normal to suffer lack of marketing ideas and inspiration. Far from what we tend to thing, you don’t need to spend a lot of money, you don’t need to be a professional marketer or a super creative soul to have your marketing strategy back on track, the only thing you need is a bit of help and tips.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s why we created a freebie for you: "6 Steps to a fully booked calendar"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you going to wait sitting for inspiration to come or are you going to look for it?🚀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🙋 Hands up if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the education resources?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You're not alone! The amount of educational resources available to us nowadays is so vast that it often becomes overwhelming.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s normal to find it difficult to make choices on which resources to trust, and where to spend your time (and often money!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, how can you filter and choose the best resources for your career?

The good news is that you don't have to waste time searching, as we've done the filtering.

Firstly, we've interviewed many of the coaches you might be considering mentoring with, or buying a resource from- so you can search our archives and listen to them first to see if they're a good fit for you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On top of that, on our site you will find all the resources that we believe are worth 100% of your time including:

🔅 Our signature courses, workshops and The Retreat
🔅 Recommended courses from our industry friends
🔅 Direct links to recommended mentors (and cash-back offers!).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You value your time, and so do we- feel free to reach out through DM if you have questions about a coach in particular. We're happy to share what we know!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡️ Link in our bio to the site, just look under "Education" and "directory" to start improving your skills and your business!
