How I Manage My Finances As a Photographer I Ep 169

Ever felt that pit in your stomach when you check your bank account or just totally overwhelmed with how to manage your money in your photography business? You’re not alone. 

In this episode, I open up about how a tough financial year – one that started with just $30k in guaranteed revenue for 2024 – became the turning point that completely transformed how I manage money. I share the simple, sustainable system that helped me grow my revenue to $195k in under 12 months, how I set up my bank accounts for clarity and calm, and the practical steps I took to rebuild trust in myself as a business owner. If finances have ever felt overwhelming or confusing, this one's for you.

In this week’s episode you’ll discover:

• The real, raw details of how I almost ran out of money and what caused it 😳
  
  
• The simple yet powerful money management system I discovered that saved the day and how you can use it in your business 💸
  
  
• A behind-the-scenes breakdown of my bank accounts, including how I allocate my money into different accounts to create clarity, peace of mind, and stay on track with my goals ✅
  
  
• My best tips and tool recommendations for making your "CEO money date" fun, enjoyable and easy to stick to 📅
  
  
• How I went from having only $30k in guaranteed revenue at the start of the year, to a $195k year at the end of the year: the exact steps I took to revitalize my business and create financial security (this is a must-listen if you’re not where you want to be financially right now!) 👀
