12 years ago when I picked up a DSLR for the first time and knew that I wanted to begin a journey in photography I wish I had known a few things, the biggest was to educate myself not only in the area of photography but also in business. I, like so many other photographers, am primarily self-taught, but I will say, the most valuable things I have done that had the greatest return on my investment was not to purchase the best camera on the market, was not to open up a fancy studio, but it was to take a few workshops and attend some great conferences. Back then workshops were a fad…everyone was doing them and charging a huge amount. I saved and saved to attend one in Arizona. It was a huge financial investment, but one that would be a pivot point in my business. Looking back, I can say there are still things that I do today (editing tips, business practices and even the way I shoot) because of that workshop. If I were to calculate the return on investment that I spent on that workshop, though it was expensive, it would be less than $1 per session that I’ve had..probably even pennies!
My method to building and maintaing a six figure photography business is some thing that I feel is super valuable and I would love to help you!
I wanted to share a few reasons why I think continuing IN PERSON education is so valuable.
- Most people are Kinetic learners, meaning that they not only need to read/see something, but they also need to hear! Being in an environment where you both see and hear the tools you need will help tremendously. Most workshops provide hands-on experience as well so that you can not only learn by seeing and hearing but also doing. This is so valuable especially with newborns and children posing.
- Being around other small business owners is energizing, there is nothing like being in a room with other like-minded women, who are all striving for the same thing. The fact that you each “get it” just sets a common ground and makes you feel like you are on the right track, that you are not alone, that you have others that will help you. The friendships you build from workshops are often lifelong.
- Coming away with forms, email templates, pricing guides etc is priceless
- Small intimate workshops provide the perfect atmosphere to get nearly one on one education. Where you can ask all the questions that you have, that arise, that may be specific to your small business.
- Gain valuable help with all aspects of your workflow, not just how to take beautiful pictures, but how to run a business so that it’s profitable and successful.
I hope that you will consider investing in your business, in yourself, in your brand. I promise you, you will not regret it.
