Around 2013, I completely tapped out my market.
I was photographing luxury weddings for $15,000-$20,000 – but could only do 25 a year (due to travel).
I was also hosting in-person educational events and creating digital products for other photographers.

So I did a business audit. I’m not gonna lie to you… It wasn’t the MOST FUN.
