get the numbers you need to take your business
Let’s be honest…sometimes the financial side of our business can make us feel a little, um, like a phony. I know…you're an artist. You just want to make beautiful things and have it finance your life. Do you have to do the business stuff too?! You know you’re supposed to be figuring out your profit margin. You googled "what does CODB mean" for like 5 minutes once. Really you’re just hoping you'll be a success without having to understand it all 🤞.
What if you could really understand your options for designing a business that's right for you- one that fits with your life goals, provides the income you need, and allows for the work/life balance you’re craving?

Maybe you, too, have hit some major turning points in life & business. Times to pull all-nighters & work and times to stop giving things away for free. Times to make a change for your mental health or to invest more in your family than your biz. Times to make your business something that gives you life rather than stealing it.
the beauty of running your own business is that you have options. You just need a tool to be able to see them.
A tool designed to save you hours & countless math headaches while helping you get clarity on what your pricing means for your bottom line & work/life balance. Easily understand what to charge to meet & beat your money goals, experiment with new ideas & make the right decisions for your biz and life!
introducing...
A powerful summary page pulls together all of your most important business numbers from pages of data for you! You can use this to see what you're actually profiting and to help decide how to structure your pricing based on the things you really care about, like profit, pay per hour, and work hours per week.
Finally get a handle on the dollars going out of your business. An operational expenses page filled with realistic sample expenses will help you get clear on what it costs to run your business, think through which expenses are actual needs, and find areas where you might be able to cut back.
I'll share some realistic sample numbers from real world photo business pricing (mine!), so you can customize to reflect your own business. A "To Do" list , FAQ's, and 2 detailed tutorial videos will help you get up and running fast, show you how to customize it to fit your unique business, see your potential for growth, and use your data to make intentional decisions for your life & business.
Use multiple "package" pages to input your current package pricing and expenses and see at a glance what you're actually profiting and how each package compares. Or my favorite - experiment with new packages, products, or price increases to see what they would mean for your bottom line!

So let's get started
When you decided to start your own photo business, your passion for spreadsheets probably wasn’t the motivating factor. Maybe you've never really known how to set your pricing based on profit, or maybe talking finances triggers your imposter syndrome big time. Maybe you've started down this path before but got paralyzed along the way. Or maybe, like so many of us, you just don't have a clue where to start. Well if the mention of profit margin makes you want to slow moonwalk backward from a room...
I know you can do more than you think you can. But if you're anything like me, you need help to get out of your head and take your business to the next level. You just want someone to tell you what works.
You're in the right place.
