Shownotes
A first-class plane ticket totally changed my life. In May 2023, I was heading to Louisville to spend two days with my business coach when she told me to dress in “one-million-dollar business attire” and start imagining myself as Million Dollar Maddie. Naturally, I was annoyed. But I’m also nothing if not a bit of a rule follower, so I went with it. (And because I’m a Taurus who deeply values luxury and comfort, I upgraded to first class.)
That experience made me realize that if I wanted to become the version of myself who ran a million-dollar business, I needed to start making decisions like her now. This matters for brand photographers because the version of you making your business decisions is also shaping your brand. When those decisions come from fear, people-pleasing, and trying not to rock the boat, your brand becomes safer, smaller, and much easier to ignore.
We’re talking:
- How I accidentally built a brand from the smallest version of myself
- Why invisibility feels safe but fails every time
- What your imposter syndrome actually is
- The four parts of a brand with a backbone
- Positioning from fear versus positioning from abundance
- Asking what the million-dollar version of you would do
