The Bright Growth Podcast (for Wedding Creatives)
We’re on a mission to help wedding creatives craft the business they want: more money, confidence, fresh growth and clear strategies to shine in their niche and connect with their ideal clients. So many creatives tell us they are 'stuck' or can't make more money or get to the next level in their business.
They can't figure out what's not working until they understand it is less about the tactics and more about their mindset. We realized after coaching creatives for years that it isn't us giving you an exact plan, or sharing what we have done for the last 25 years, it isn't the framework, the skill level or the tools that make a creative business successful. It is you.
There is nothing holding you back from having the business you truly want but yourself. Let's uncover why and get started creating the belief that you can do it!

Secrets to Sustaining a Photography Business for Over 25 Years
In this episode, we share 3 tips (that really are more common sense than 'secret') that have helped us tremendously in our 25-year journey in our photography business.
Despite the statistic that only 15 percent of photography businesses survive past three years, we've managed to thrive by focusing on three key elements: determination, giving, and integrity.
We discuss the importance of perseverance, the impact of altruism, and how maintaining honest and consistent practices has been crucial to their long-term success. They also clarify the distinction between genuine giving and business networking, emphasizing ethical commitments and reliability.
Our mission is to make sure more photographers don't fall into the 85% of photography businesses that don't make it past the first few years!
