Afraid to Invest in Your Photo/Video Business? Fear and Belief Can’t Coexist

If you're afraid to invest in your photography or videography business, you're not alone. One of the biggest things holding creatives back is fear—fear of spending money, fear of not making it back, and fear of failure. But the truth is, fear and belief can’t exist in the same space. In this episode, we’re talking about how that fear often stems from not separating personal and business finances, and how real business growth starts when you learn to invest with a plan. We also walk through the mindset shift needed to move from scarcity to strategy and how our next retreat will help you make that shift.

If you’re ready to bet on yourself and create a business that’s built to last, apply for our Montana photography and videography retreat here:
