Discovering how to make a full-time income in your photography business is the key to living your dreams. No matter if you’ve been working in your photography for days, months, or years, you have to know your numbers and recognize whether or not you’re truly making money.
Gina Brocker and Angie Bonin are two amazing photographers who have come together to create a program for new and struggling photographers. Rather than winging this business thing, they help you step fully into your numbers and strategy to create real success.
I find it so fascinating when business owners come together to create entirely new ventures together. Listen as they share their story and why they felt the need to create their program.
We also chat about the program itself and how you can start figuring out your numbers now. If you’ve been struggling to generate income and truly build a business that supports you and your dreams, then listen in and consider joining them in Revealing the Narrative.
