I've got a toolbox full of tricks to help you go from reactive to proactive in your business so you can lead your business instead of chase it. And let me tell you, I learned the importance of supportive systems and strategies the same way I learned how not to eat pavement on my roller skates - the hard way. 😅
You see, back when I was a brand photographer, I knew that systemizing my business was important, so I invested in a tool called Dubsado right off the bat. But even though I had all the tools in place to make my life easier, I still found myself stuck doing the same ol' things again and again.
I wrote and manually sent the same dang 'welcome' email about 1,578 times. I created proposals from scratch every. single. time a potential client came along. I wasted sooo much precious time and energy on things that should have been templatized and automated.
My people-pleasing heart wanted to give every client 100%. I was so determined to deliver that I kept pushing through, even as the burnout started to creep in. I was the queen of overcommitting, and it was only a matter of time before something had to give.
Fast forward to today, I've learned that investing in your systems is essential for sustainable growth and impact.
