Do you ever feel completely overwhelmed by your photography business? You know what you want. You can see it, feel it and taste it. You want a fabulous business with lots of clients who pay you well and you want to be organised and savvy so that you can have a great work life balance.
In your head you know all the things you need to do in order to achieve this vision you have for yourself.
You’re reading blogs, watching YouTube videos, browsing Facebook groups and everywhere you look there is someone else telling you that you must do w, x, y and z if you want to succeed. So you add them to the list!
So your list is pretty big now. You’ve got a massive load of work to get through before you can be anywhere near where you want and need to be.
So why is it, when you have SO MUCH WORK to do and you WANT THIS SO BAD that you then find yourself sitting like a zombie scrolling through endless garbage on Facebook or watching that live feed from the panda enclosure at the zoo?
Yup! Good old overwhelm and resistance! Watch the video for tips on how to eliminate these curses from your days!
*Acknowledge that the way you are feeling and the way you are reacting to it is COMPLETELY NORMAL and nothing to beat yourself up over.
*Brain dump everything you are overwhelmed by - tasks and thoughts and challenges
*Get rid of all the items on that list that you can’t control
*Get rid of all the items on that list that don’t REALLY matter
*Put the rest of your list into order of priority
*Chunk your first task or challenge down into baby steps
*Take action on the first baby step IMMEDIATELY
*Get involved with an accountability group
