Before you invest in that high-ticket mastermind or coaching program promising $10K clients right out the gate—listen to this episode.We’re pulling back the curtain on the hype and talking about what actually builds a sustainable photography business. Because while marketing might land you one big win, it’s your skills, systems, and humility that determine whether you can keep going.In this episode, I break down:Why slow, intentional growth sets you up for long-term successThe value of second shooting, assisting, and real-world experienceHow to spot educators who are great at marketing—but missing the depth in technical or posing skillsThe danger of comparison culture and rushing into high-price points too soonAnd the powerful shift that happens when you quiet your ego and commit to masteryIf you’ve ever felt behind because you’re not charging luxury prices yet—or pressured to “level up” before you’re ready—this conversation will ground you.
