As small business owners our responsibilities and to-dos at times feel endless. And to top it off, even if we have set goals and plans already put in place, at times external factors can lead us to reassess our priorities and change direction.

In this episode, I will discuss how you can go about determining your priorities as a wedding photographer and I will provide a guideline to help you figure out which tasks you can postpone to a later date.
