Most of the common advice you’ll hear about starting a photography business is BS!

Yet just like when I was pregnant with my twins, everyone and their mother wanted to give me some kind of advice.

Did I want that advice? No.

Was it good advice? Mostly no.

Did it irritate me like poison ivy on my eyeballs? YES!

Well-meaning people who love you, but don’t know diddly squat about running a photography business will fill your ears with “advice” that’s anything but helpful.

And listening to it, I’m sad to say, can actually hold you BACK!

On today’s podcast, I’m going over the most common pieces of advice about starting a photography business that are BS.

Like:

How long it takes to turn a profit

Whether you need a studio or not

What attracts high-paying clients

And a lot more!

So pop in your earbuds and get ready for some straight-up FACTS that cancel out the BS you’ve probably been hearing!
