In this episode I ramble on about a topic really close to my heart - music. Music is a huge part of my creative inspiration and forms a large part of what I believe makes my work unique to others.

Hi everyone, We hope you’re all well and have had a great week so far? On this week’s episode we’re highlighting the sometimes very contentious issue of Pricing! It can be one of the most difficult things to decide upon when it comes to running your wedding photography/videography business, with lots of contrasting opinions and influences to consider. But what should be informing your decisions? What will ensure you continue to be successful? As the business owner you should have a clear strategy which underpins your pricing, having taken into account the costs of doing business, and you own personal goals for income. Most of all, you need to be comfortable with what you charge. We discuss the changes we have seen over the past six years, and explain the pricing journey we have been on. The goal ofcourse is to ensure the continued success and sustainability despite the economical challenges we are all experiencing. If we can help any further or you have any thoughts on today’s topic, we’d love to hear about them so please hit us up on the socials at: @weddingmavericks (https://www.instagram.com/weddingmavericks) Take care everyone and have a great week, Jules & Lyndsey

| E53 | Know your numbers | 03 Feb 2023 | 00:57:40 | |
Hi everyone, We hope you’re all well and have had a great week so far? On this week’s episode we’re highlighting how important it is to know your numbers! A way we can all have piece of mind in knowing we have the right amount of income, enquiries and bookings to make this a reality, and to feel empowered to price our services confidently, is to fully understand our numbers! We discuss starting with calculating your personal living costs, the costs of doing business, and move onto the deductions you’ll need to know about ie: Tax, NI, Pension contributions, how to calculate profit and finish by highlighting the importance of making sure you’re consistently tracking all of your financial and performance data. Jules prepared a helpful breakdown example of calculating exactly how much revenue your business would need to make if you needed £30,000 to live. (Figures are created for illustration purposes and using UK Tax & National insurance deductions, as at January 2023). £30,000 per year to live £6000 business expenses £30,000 + 6000 = £36,000 UK tax allowance - £12,570 Therefore, taking the £30,000 per year needed to live and deduct the tax allowance of £12570 = £17,430 (Now consider 20% tax and around 11% National insurance of £17,430, would be around £5229 in deductions) and added together (£22,659) + 12570 = £35,229 So, your personal expenses to live of £35,229 + £6,000 Business expenses = £41,229 **Which means that to earn and enjoy £30,000 in real terms each year, your business would need to generate £41,229 as a minimum in REVENUE. Also, consider that you’ll want to include a buffer into this if you want to be able to save, pay for holidays, unforeseen expenses.

| E52 | Money & Taxes | 27 Jan 2023 | 01:10:22 | |
Hi everyone, We hope you’re all good and 2023 is treating you well so far. This week we’re talking Money & Taxes. Around the world the process of submitting your tax return and filing your company accounts is different. So locally, you’ll know what the important dates are for you. Here, in the UK the deadline for submission is 31st January. We’re taking today to talk through the importance of understanding how the availability of cash in your business can be helpful in helping you make investments to grow or develop, navigate through troubling times or if you can’t work due to illness. We also highlight the compulsory and additional deductions you may have to consider from the revenue you make from weddings, and offer advice on how to manage this and the upkeep of your accounts. It’s a bit of a dry topic but one we feel is important for the long term sustainability of your business.

We spend some time reflecting back on the goals we set for our business back in January 2023, (Episode 15) by talking you through whether we managed to achieve them and where we didn’t, assess why this was?

Hi everyone, We hope you’ve enjoyed the festive period, been able to take some time to rest and you’re looking forward to the year ahead. We have been in a very fortunate position to receive some excellent reviews from our couples this year and to have used effective marketing strategies to generate lots of enquiries - what we didn’t expect however, was not to convert a single one in around six months!!! So what did we do? Listen to us talk about how we tried to address this and make some small adjustments to how we structured our packages to try and convert more leads. Thank you for listening this week, we hope you’re all safe and well and able to celebrate the end of another year. Thank you for supporting us this year, we’ hope you’ll continue to follow us and contribute to our community. Sending you our love and best wishes for 2023 Mavericks!
