In this podcast episode, I talk about a challenge that many photographers face—setting strict deadlines for their goals and the pressure to achieve results quickly. Over the years, I’ve seen how this mindset often leads to burnout, frustration, and decisions that don’t support long-term growth. Instead, focusing on consistent effort and appreciating the journey is what truly builds a lasting and fulfilling photography business. I share lessons from my own experience and from helping other photographers, offering advice on setting realistic, process-focused goals and celebrating progress at every step. These small wins not only keep you motivated but also ensure your business is built on a solid foundation. I also highlight upcoming free resources to support you in implementing strategies that will help you achieve your goals and create a photography business that works for you.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Why chasing success on a strict timeline can lead to burnout.
• The benefits of process-oriented goals over outcome-based goals.
• How to overcome instant gratification and focus on sustainable growth.
• The importance of celebrating small wins and staying committed to the journey.
