The Coaching Journals Part 2

196 - It's time to check in with Heather and The Coaching Journals. Two lucky members of the Hair of the Dog Elevate program – Christi Baker of Christi Baker Photography in Atlanta and Monica Adalsteinsson of Pup + Me Photography in Phoenix – won six months of one-on-one coaching with Heather. But there was a catch! They had to agree to share their sessions with you, our Hair of the Dog podcast listeners.  In part 1 last month, we heard Christi's and Monica's goals and the challenges they were facing.  This month, listen to the stories Monica tells herself about feeling ghosted by clients who should be ordering their artwork and how quickly Heather turns those inhibiting thoughts into action. And Christi is trying to adjust her workflow for calendar contest sessions while maintaining the boundaries she has set for building a successful pet photography business. Heather guides her through ways she can best communicate with her clients. What to Listen For6:56 How we know if our thoughts are good or bad for us16:50 Why you should overcommunicate with your clients25:31 The steps Monica can take to become more visible in her community42:26 How Christi can surprise and delight her clients while keeping her boundaries in place48:16 What to do with clients who don't always respect your time Is it a little crazy to think setting boundaries allows you to free yourself for more success?
