Olivia say what's up to fire nation and share something that you believe about becoming successful that most people disagree with.

I know fire so excited to be here so I think that most people think you need to work a ton of hours to have a really successful business you know 60 80 hours it's kind of crazy and I just don't think that's true.

Yeah, in the beginning you have to kind of work your butt off really hard and lots of hours but once you get the flow of it and once you get everything down, you should be able to work a lot less.

I've been able to do 20 hours in my six figure business a week and it's amazing well i'm work mountain now more since I do photography and photography coaching but I still probably don't even work 40 hours a week with both of my businesses.

I love this and I have had the exact same experience fire nation yes you've got to work your little booty off at the beginning you've got a grind you've got to build a foundation it's not easy it's work for sure but then you figure out systems tools automations and of course the title is how to work 20 hours a week and make six figures in photography so let's talk about your origin story with Boudoir.

Oh it's so much fun well I've been a photographer for 13 years loved it did how mostly high school seniors and a little bit of families and I live in the Midwest and it's freaking cold and half the year I don't shoot anything and so I was like I need something in the winter so I'm like I'm going to try to get into Boudoir.

So two years ago I started in Boudoir and really just building that up from scratch no Instagram no Facebook no Google no reviews no past clients no leads and so I started that up and it kind of exploded and 2022 just.

I shot like 95% of Boudoir and i'm just loving it so much I really found my passion no one thing that people struggle with our systems are.

Our processes and this is where you actually excel so share a rundown of your session day that is maximized for efficiency.

I remember I used to spend like 12 hours per client I can spend like five or six hours per client now because I do it all one day we start with hair and makeup and then we pick out outfits we're in the studio shooting for an hour and then I call down edit slightly for 30 minutes and then my client see the images say.
