Let’s get real. Dealing with the money aspect of our businesses isn’t always the easiest thing in the world. Thank goodness for people who thrive with numbers and financial planning. One of those people is Tanya Hirschy. She owns Tidy Books Boutique, an accounting firm designed with photographers in mind and she’s sharing the money pitfalls to avoid as a photographer. 

Tanya knows that not every photographer is interested in the numbers that make up the backend of their business. Which is why she fully believes that rather than working on your weaknesses, you should outsource your weaknesses. 

That being said the first thing you need to do when it comes to the money in your business is stop being reactive. Shiny object syndrome is great, but you need to have a plan for your money. One of the biggest money pitfalls is making purchases and decisions based on your emotions. Instead, create a plan that you can follow and stick to it. 

This episode is chock full of amazing information and money advice. Take a minute and listen in and start getting on top of your money today! It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in business, you can always be better with your money!
