Hello to all you creators, dreamers, and doers out there. I'm Nathan Chansky, photographer, business coach, and your host.

After starting my photography business and nearly giving up after a rough first couple of

years, with God's help, I transformed my business and became the multi-six-figure business owner

here with you today. I'm here to drop weekly episodes full of everything I've learned in the

process while bringing on some of the biggest experts in the industry. This podcast is for

photographers, creatives, and anyone wanting to build a business and life of your fullest God-given potential. Welcome to the industry. This podcast is for photographers, creatives, and anyone wanting to build a business

and life of your fullest God-given potential. Welcome to the show, my friend.

Okay, hello everybody. So awesome to have you guys back here and so awesome to be back on the show.

It's been a minute since I've recorded an episode. I've actually been without a voice for a little bit. But last year, I did, I believe it was last year, did I lessons from my year episode. And I so love the idea of that being an annual thing that I do, kind of like a personal reflection episode. I also just, I also just love this podcast, kind of functioning as a business journal in a way. So this is very

on brand as well to do this episode. And I love hearing from other people kind of like their

reflections of the year and what they learn and things, all things like that. So I really want

this episode to be things I learned from 2024. And I've got seven primary things for you that I

really want to share this year. And this is,

this was really the biggest, like one of the biggest years of my life in so many ways because,

you know, so much so much happened. I think the biggest thing that maybe happened in my life

was that my wife Kayla and I had our daughter, Aria. And so that's our first child ever and

hopefully have more. And that just changes your life in so many respects.

Another thing that was very different and I guess big this year was it transparently

it was my goal to hit seven figures in a single year.

And only because of Jesus and his blessing, we were able to hit that this year, which is

awesome.
