198 - Have you ever cruised through the Hair of the Dog community on your Circle app and thought, "How are all these *&^%!es getting $10K sales and I'm not"?

 First things first, it is great to have a goal to hit a $10,000 sale but let's settle one thing right now: It's also OK to not have them consistently. Or even to have had one at all!

 
I get it. It sounds blasphemous when I know other educators promise to get you to a $10K, $20K or ‘insert large K number here’ sale. 

Settle in because this week's Hair of the Dog podcast episode is all about the myth of the five-figure sale.  Did you know that the fastest way to build a six-figure business is by having consistent $2-3K sales?

That's right. I said $2K. A measly $2,000. Or even less. In the episode I’m giving you permission to charge a few hundred bucks.  

Now don’t get all crazy. I’m also laying out when it’s OK to charge a few hundred bucks and when it’s not … as well as when you actually might want to go for those $10K sales.  

What to listen for

4:56 The photography police aren't coming to get you for your choices

7:46 What you need to know before deciding your pricing strategy

13:35 The fastest way to a six-figure business

16:18 Why you don't need a lot of clients to be successful

21:35 How to differentiate your messaging for your pricing

I was once where you are, wondering how my business was going to get me to where I was living life on my own terms. It's important to realize we're all at different stages of our entrepreneurship and not every pet photographer needs to be chasing those super high-end, super lux sales … at least not right away.

Everything we do in creating an incredible experience for our clients is a stepping stone toward the business you want to have.

197 - Heather Lahtinen is not fearless.

I know, right? It's hard to believe. However, earlier this month, while we converged in Charlotte, North Carolina, with five pet photographers wanting to up their game at Progress Lab, I learned one of Heather's greatest fears.

Snakes.

Heather, Jessica Wasik and another photographer were driving to our next location when …

Holy sh*t. There's a snake on the car. On the windshield. Staring Heather down like he wanted to come through that glass and eat her. 

She called me. Screaming.

And you know Heather doesn't swear (much) but all I heard was Samuel L. Jackson yelling "mothereffing snakes on the mothereffing plane."

When the dust settled (or more accurately, when they pulled over and let the snake slither away), Heather learned a new perspective for her coaching clients: that you have to face whatever terrifies you. And the more you do that, the less terrifying it becomes.

In this week's Hair of the Dog podcast episode, Heather and I talk through those terrors we all face and relate them to one of our favorite books, The Gap and the Gain by Dan Sullivan.

According to Heather, we must tackle those scary, negative thoughts in our heads (the gap) and make a choice to focus on the progress we're making (the gain).

It can't be that hard, right? Wrong. We know it can be. Join us for this episode and we'll make it less scary.

What to Listen for:

15:31 How to stop playing the comparison game

21:12 The consequences to hanging out in the gap

25:20 Why negative thoughts are a part of being human

44:46 How to find your winning vibe

50:17 The good and the bad of a $5K sale

You guys, there is so much goodness to get out of The Gap and the Gain, so Heather and I are hosting a Power Hour centered around our key takeaways from the book. Register here for this unique event during which we'll examine how we can harness the power of the Gain and let the Gap slither into the darkness. The replay will be available in the community.

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 For

6:56 How we know if our thoughts are good or bad for us

16:50 Why you should overcommunicate with your clients

25:31 The steps Monica can take to become more visible in her community

42:26 How Christi can surprise and delight her clients while keeping her boundaries in place

48:16 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? Not at all.

In fact, Heather reminds us just how those limits can help us be unlimited.

You guys, there was so much meat in this sandwich! Listen to this episode and you will pick up ideas on how to improve your business processes and your mindset.
