high level conversations

On the Podcast, I am giving you insight on some conversations that have completely changed my business. These two conversations…

 

“Katelyn you need 4, $100,000 income streams as a wedding photographer that’s turning into an educator.”

 

“Katelyn, you are sitting on a multi million dollar gold mine.”

 

…completely changed the vision I had for my business and pushed me to realize that there is so much more waiting for me.

 

My response was…”HOW!?” and they didn’t give me answers, they set the tone for me to dig in and challenge myself. And I did! I figured out what they saw in me and I made those visions come to life!

 

So, what was so powerful about those conversations? I recently had an experience that reminded me.

 

We were at the lake with some dear friends this past week and they are also high level business owners. While it is exhausting chasing 12 kids 6 and under around at the lake during the day, we sit down at night and our conversations are inspiring, encouraging and also challenging. These talks challenge me in both life AND business! I walk away ready to try new things, encouraged to shut down what isn’t working and open to new possibilities!! 

 

I’ve noticed that these conversations are DIFFERENT from normal business conversations in three ways and I’m sharing those three ways on today’s podcast episode!
