Podcast Ep 389 - I'm doing everything right and they still aren't booking!
Episode 389
Monday, 24 November, 2025

In this episode of the Flourish Academy podcast, Heather and Nicole dive into one of the most maddening experiences for photographers: when you "do everything right" on an inquiry call… and the client still doesn't book. They break down why this happens, how to stop spiraling into self-doubt, and the mindset shifts that keep you moving forward with confidence. If you've ever wondered, "Why isn't this working?" — this conversation is your reset. Key Takeaways (3–5) Why doing everything "right" still doesn't guarantee a booking The two mental "tracks" photographers default to after a no — and how to choose the one that builds momentum How expectations quietly create frustration (and how to release them) The role of energy, fun, and curiosity in booking more clients Why hearing more no's can actually strengthen your business How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.
