Ep 31: Your End of the Year Investment Plan (+ an exercise to make smart choices)

I'm Leah!

I’m obsessed with stories of family, creativity, and simple joys.  A nostalgia nerd, educator, wife, and mom of 3, I believe life’s most fun when you’re dreaming big and having kitchen dance parties.

The end of the year is a great time for photographers to look ahead and get intentional about the resources they need to focus on to make improvements and productive changes in the year ahead. In this episode, I’m sharing a run-down of the 4 categories of investments that serve as umbrellas for all the things you *could* purchase to support your business growth.

1. Software

2. Brand

3. Gear

4. Education

Each has several subcategories, too, so we’ll walk through how to determine what end of the year investments will serve your business best as you’re looking ahead, along with my top recommendations for products and services.

Of course, I also want to share a little more about The Homestyle Accelerator as well because I am so excited about the potential of this program and our conversations to support you in a direct way with the growth of your art and business. Enrollment opens TODAY (Nov. 25 2004) so you can check out all the details and enroll (or get on the waitlist for next time) at https://leahoconnell.com/homestyle

Hi, I'm Leah.
Family photographer, writer, educator.

I’m  one of the first to meet your newborn baby, the one who won't judge your clothes baskets and unmade beds, and the one who can capture the way your husband looks at you with a twinkle in his eye after 12 years of marriage. I believe in honoring people and telling stories.

I believe art has the power to light up the world in dark places, starting at home.
