[PODCAST] Lifestyle Solopreneur Podcast

 

While making a living as an artist is magical…

 
 

It’s certainly not all sunshine and roses.

 

If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be making a living as a photographer, I would’ve laughed you off immediately.

Back then, all I wanted was a stable gig that had some creative aspects to it. The bar was low, and it was like that for a very long time…

…until it wasn’t anymore in 2014.

But the transition of working on someone else’s team to becoming a team of me has been filled with many challenges - and some of those challenges are still faced on a daily basis.

I had a chance to talk about this with Flavia Berys, host of the Lifestyle Solopreneur podcast.

In addition to talking about the stuff that’s happening behind the scenes, we also talked about how to market yourself as a photographer, and creating an income based around your passion.

Here’s where you can listen to the conversation.

So…

What was the biggest takeaway for you?
