#331: 5 Things I Don't Waste Money On as a Professional Photographer
Have you ever looked around your business and wondered if you're spending money on things that feel "professional," but aren't actually helping you grow? It's easy to believe success comes from buying more. More gear. More props. More software. But what if the biggest breakthroughs come from spending less, and spending smarter? This week, Sarah shares the five things she refuses to waste money on after selling more than $3 million in portraits over 28 years. From props and paid ads to camera upgrades and online galleries, she breaks down what she stopped buying, why it made her more profitable, and where she chooses to invest instead. • Why buying more gear won't grow your business, but better business skills will • How avoiding "expense creep" can dramatically increase your profit over time • A simple framework to decide whether any new purchase is truly worth it If you've been wondering whether your next purchase will actually move your business forward, this episode might save you thousands of dollars and years of frustration. Press play before you spend another dime.
