Certified Madness Podcast

Blogging definitely is not a popular task among most photographers. However, the pros of doing so far outweigh the cons of opting not to. Blogs are perfect for sharing your work, getting personal, marketing your business and driving more traffic to your website. There are so many benefits and reasons why you should be blogging and in this week's episode of the Certified Madness Podcast, we're talking all about it! When this episode is over, we hope to make bloggers out of each and every single one of you!

In this episode of Certified Madness, we're talking about schedules and home life during Covid-19. If you are working from home, creating a set schedule is absolutely vital. This allows you to achieve a balance of work hours and rest hours. Of course, it, if you aren't working at this time, that's okay. You do you! Whatever it takes to survive these crazy days, do that. We're also talking about ways to plan for life after Coronavirus and adapting to things that are out of our control.

In this episode of Certified Madness, we're having a conversation about how we're coping, adjusting and getting through the Coronavirus Pandemic. No one really knows how long we will be going through this horrific situation, but one thing is for certain: we have all been affected- and we will most likely be feeling the affects for a long time coming. We are all in the same boat at this scary time, find comfort in knowing that you're not alone in your fear or uncertainty- we are all in this together.

Fear. It's a four-letter bitch. It can stifle and derail you, stop you in your tracks and complete takeover your life. It's seriously the worst. With that said, it's also an essential element to life and business because overcoming fear will be what leads to empowerment, success and truly learning all that you are capable of accomplishing.

We disappeared again. It was unintentional, but hey, life happened. We're three crazy photographers/business owners/mothers/wives/creatives... In this silly episode, we're talking through everything we've been dealing with the past four months, which is pretty entertaining! We're also chatting all about the amazing Deconstructed Shootout that went down in the desert last week! So much good stuff! Tune in and join the conversation!

After countless messages and comments with requests for us to have an episode on sales, we finally did it! In-Person Sales, to be exact. Aren't you guys all so proud of us? Two of the three of us implement IPS with our photography clients. Which one of us doesn't? Well, you'll just have to listen and find out- and the reason why. Get ready to learn all about In-Person Sales, why it's great for your business and how to avoid leaving money on the table. 

In this week's episode of the Certified Madness Podcast, we're chatting all about The Client Experience. We're digging into what makes our client experiences unique and whether or not we consider what we do "boutique". As always, we veer off into a few tangents, including the CARE personality test and how it relates to being a photographer/business owner. 

Mistakes. We all make them. What matters most is how we learn, grow and move on from them. It's safe to say that mistakes are inevitable and absolutely necessary- especially when it comes to business. While they can be grueling, unforgiving and downright awful to overcome, they're usually a blessing in disguise. In this episode of the Certified Madness Podcast, we're chatting all about "Learning From Our Mistakes", struggles we've faced and how we learned to pivot and move on.

Guilt is a terrible feeling. And more often than not, no matter how hard we try to avoid it, most of us battle with it. Mom Guilt. Dad Guilt. Money Guilt. Business Guilt. Time Guilt. Unfortunately, most of the time, it's self-inflicted. We put unnecessary pressure and expectations on ourselves, ridicule our own actions and berate ourselves into believing that we are a terrible mom/dad/business owner/human... The truth is, we're NOT terrible. Guilt is terrible. Stop feeling guilty.
