One thing that can make or break your photography business is your money mindset. That’s right. The stories you picked up from your parents and that you tell yourself about money absolutely impact how you operate your business. Listen as Karinda K shares all!
Karinda is an amazing photographer who is now selling multi-4 and 5 figure photography packages, but she admits, she wasn’t always comfortable with it. In fact, for a long time she wouldn’t even accept credit cards because she was so fearful that her work was putting someone in debt.
That wasn’t her story. It was a story she’d heard from her parents since she was little and she took it on as her reality.
When she started digging into her stories she realized that money is a tool. It is not evil, it has no emotion. It is there to be used to create impact in the world, the industry, and the family. No more. No less.
Listen as Karinda delves into her own story and why this money piece is so important. She shares tips and strategies for re-writing your own money story as well as the first steps she has her clients take as they begin digging into their own money beliefs.
Have you ever struggled with certain money issues in your business and you just can’t seem to figure out why? It could be you have your own money blocks.
