Summary
Do you ever feel like what's the point? Between the grind of figuring out your photography business and taking care of all the things your kids need from you, it would be easier to put a swimsuit on a gorilla.
Today, I met Janelle Krulicki, a stay-at-home mom who was spending an whopping 15 hours PER digital file client. Exhausted and burned out with barely any income to show for it and a husband who was getting annoyed, Janelle was at a crossroads of whether or not a photography business could work for her.
Here's her story of what she changed everything, got a $5,000 order and THRILLED her husband at the extra money coming into their household every month!!!
