175: Stop Working Like a Photographer. Start Thinking Like a CEO.
Monday, 6 April, 2026
There is one shift that will completely change the way you run your business—and it has nothing to do with strategy. In today’s episode, I’m diving into a powerful identity shift that I’ve been seeing come up again and again in my coaching conversations. It’s not about doing more, working harder, or tweaking your pricing—it’s about how you see yourself.I’m breaking down the difference between operating as a photographer who runs a business versus stepping into the role of a CEO who happens to be a photographer. This shift can unlock growth, clarity, and sustainability in ways that strategy alone never could.In this episode: The key differences between a photographer mindset and a CEO mindset Why so many creatives hit a plateau and how to move past it What it actually looks like to operate like a CEO in your day-to-day businessFind It Quickly00:00 - Introducing the identity shift that changes everything01:56 - Are you thinking like a photographer or a CEO?03:00 - How each mindset approaches growth, pricing, and slow seasons04:54 - What it actually looks like to operate like a CEO07:08 - Why the rooms you’re in shape your growth10:00 - Questions to help you shift your mindsetMentioned in this Episode:DM for Rise Collective information: instagram.com/joyymichelleDoors are NOW OPEN for The Rise Collective, an intimate group coaching experience designed for photographers whose work is strong—but whose business hasn’t caught up yet.
