Between the two of us, we have combined 27 years in photography,10 years in IT and have lived through 9 business relocations. 

4 moves ago I was frustrated watching my peers grow their businesses in one place while I was starting from scratch again. I knew I couldn't be the only one relocating and wanting more financial stability. Despite my Googling, all I could find were vague blog posts, moderately interesting podcasts but not one truly helpful resource on how to relaunch my business in a new city. 

Since then, I've streamlined a process to relocate and restart my business faster - booking clients within a month of arriving in my new location. It is possible to have clients waiting for you on the other side! I can help get you there. 

I've pivoted after 10 years as a wedding photographer to lifestyle newborns and then moved my business twice in 2 years. Each time I used SEO to get found on Google and grow my business.

As a former IT nerd, I have a knack for taking technical things and making them simple and relatable. I'm using that superpower for good and helping photographers tackle their website SEO and get booked by their ideal clients!

We're back with another quarterly check-in where we're sharing what's working, what we've let go, and how we're pivoting our businesses as we head into the new year. Spoiler: sometimes the best business move is knowing what not to do anymore.

On this episode:

• Hiring support and building systems
• Letting go of offers that no longer serve you
• Shifting focus from revenue goals to profit

Mini Mentoring is a series where Alison & Melissa get the low down on a real life business owner in need of more business.

Whether that's because they've relocated, or pivoted niches we're walking through their business can giving them our recommendations to keep it moving.

Mollie Salazar is a wedding and family photographer moving from Texas to Florida and she's got tons of lead time! The stressor is that Mollie is the primary breadwinner for her family of 4 - including some expensive teenagers. 

At the time of this recording, she'd already done a scouting trip (episode 10!), started blogging for the new location and already booked her first FL wedding!

So what did she need us for? Not much! She's gotten a massive start as we always preach, but there's a few more things to keep the dominoes tipping her favor:

• Start collaborations with local vendors
• Double her prices
• Get wedding planners on her side
