In this episode of the Success photography podcast, host Sean Brown discusses the importance of learning to say “no” more often in business. He explains that saying “yes” to everything can lead photographers to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and overworked over time. Sean shares tips on how to be more selective with commitments by considering if opportunities align with goals, fit into existing schedules, and are truly desired rather than felt obligatory. He emphasizes the need to establish boundaries and have the courage to decline requests in order to prevent burnout. Sean hopes listeners will implement more strategic use of “no” in their photography businesses moving forward.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Saying yes too often can lead to feeling overwhelmed, overworked, and deviating from carefully planned weeks.
