How are you supposed to keep your business going? Take a deep breath and stick with me because on today’s joycast, we’ll talk about how to work from home with kids and still get things done so you don’t end up fighting your kiddos for a corner to cry in.
Episode 7: What to Do When Your Family Doesn’t Believe In You
We’ve all had it happen. A well-meaning friend or relative tries to give you business advice on what you should and shouldn’t do in your photography business. But they aren’t an expert at all. Your hubby who says “You have to sell digital files.” Or your mom who says “everyone other photographer around here charges under $200 and you’re new so you better be cheaper.” Or your friend who says “I’d never pay that for pictures and no one I know will either.” If you’ve ever had a conversation like this with a loved one, I’m talking to YOU in this episode. So hit play and learn how you can still share what’s going on in your business with your family without having to accept their business advice.
