If you are going to go ALL IN and invest time and money into your photography business, it’s important to have the buy-in of your spouse.    But how exactly do you get that?    It can be tricky – especially if you have tried before and failed, have purchased programs before and had them not work for you, or have a partner who doesn’t share your vision!    Today I’m sharing eight concrete steps for how to talk to your spouse about investing in your photography business.    These tips have not only worked for me, but for my students who have gone on to grow and run successful boutique portrait photography businesses! Sometimes even without the support of their spouse (at first).    Plus, I put together an invaluable cheat sheet of steps you can take to overcome concerns and stay calm during a difficult conversation.    So hit play if you’re ready to get the buy-in of your special person so you can run full speed ahead at your photography business dreams.   RESOURCES: WORTH EVERY PENNY JOYCAST SHOW NOTES: https://photographybusinessinstitute.com/podcast/episode-212 SHOW TRANSCRIPT:  Click Here BOUTIQUE BREAKTHROUGH – 8-WEEK WORKSHOP www.joyofmarketing.com/boutiquebreakthrough INSTAGRAM – DM me “Conversation Starters” for some genuine ways to strike up a conversation about your photography business wherever you are. https://www.instagram.com/sarah.petty  FREE COPY: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING BOOK FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS www.joyofmarketing.com/freebook  FREE FACEBOOK GROUP: Join and get my free mini-class: How I earned $1,500 per client working 16 hours a week by becoming a boutique photographer. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ditchthedigitals  YOUTUBE: Check out my latest how to videos:  https://www.youtube.com/c/thejoyofmarketing  LOVE THE SHOW?
