| [42.] Mastering Your Money Mindset: Breaking Free from Limiting Beliefs | 11 Jan 2024 | 00:15:17 | |
Skye continues her exploration of money mindset, emphasizing how our beliefs about money can influence our business success. She reflects on a recent encounter with a social media post that sparked thoughts on how we judge others' spending habits based on our own financial mindset. Skye challenges the common assumption that all clients have similar financial means or values as ourselves, debunking the myth that successful entrepreneurs are endowed with an innate sales talent. She emphasizes that sales is a learnable skill and discusses the dangers of projecting our limitations onto our clients, which can restrict our marketing effectiveness. Using personal anecdotes and examples from the photography industry, Skye illustrates how our beliefs dictate our marketing messaging, thereby attracting clients who align with those beliefs. She stresses the importance of valuing your own services and understanding what differentiates high-value clients from those seeking budget options. The episode delves into the neuroscience behind mindset, introducing the reticular activating system (RAS) as a key player in shaping our perceptions and opportunities. Skye explains how cultivating a belief in higher sales and value can lead to tangible outcomes, supported by the concept of confirmation bias in neuroscience. Send us a message or ask a question!

In this episode of The Worthy Wealthy Woman Podcast, we dive into a topic that every entrepreneur and creative needs to hear—discomfort.

Plus, I’m sharing two exciting opportunities: the Denver Workshop for photographers looking to elevate their business and my CEO SZN group coaching program for creative entrepreneurs ready to step into their full CEO identity (LINKED BELOW).

| [22.] Comparison [Creativity Blocker Pt. 1] | 21 Jun 2023 | 00:17:58 | |
[Resources mentioned in show linked below] As a photographer, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the constant comparison to others in the industry. The constant influx of images on social media platforms can make it seem like everyone else is doing better, booking more clients, and creating more stunning work. It's a common struggle for photographers to feel jealous of their peers and to compare their own work to others. However, this comparison is not productive and can actually hold you back from reaching your full potential. It's important to remember that everyone's journey is different and that success is NOT measured by the number of followers or likes you have.

| [16.] Boundaries in Business Pt. 2 (Business Policies) | 15 May 2023 | 00:35:45 | |
The better you take care of YOU, the better you are able to serve. Here are some examples of setting boundaries with yourself:
Let's not forget boundaries in social media. As a photographer and business owner, it's hard to step away from social media. Having boundaries help get you out of numbing-out mode. Example from my own life - I only watch TikTok on Friday + Saturday evenings. Other boundaries I had in my business were "No working on weekends". Yes, I know many if not most photographers love to fill their weekends, but at the time of this boundaries' creation, I was a single mom and weekends were valuable to me and I created the structure in my business to financially allow me to follow through. Another one was a strict holiday deadline. I never did any holiday-themed images/sessions so my cut-off was November 15th. Anything after that would have to wait for January as I worked hard to make sure I could take off the entire month of December to enjoy my family. The problem with social media? There are many problems, BUT, one of the big ones is you are constantly CONSUMING content when you are created to CREATE. By nature as a photographer you are a creative person -- don't forget to create more than you consume. Send us a message or ask a question!
