Jeffrey Shaw
Jeffery Shaw is a portrait photographer and has been a business coach for many years now. On his blog, he has many wonderful tips and ideas for the photographer in business, to stay in business, even in reaching a higher end client and how to serve them best. His blog includes many practical applications for anyone in business really. His overall business tip: serve the people who hire you. I think that this lesson can be applied to any business in any market. Just look at Chick-fil-A. They have a "serve the customer" attitude and are a very successful establishment. I always look forward to going, not only for the food but for the service.
I suggest going to Jeffrey's blog, and reading through the posts yourself. Not only is the lesson to serve others there, there are also ideas and motivation to over coming fears, and doubts that we creatives are all plagued with. He offers them free of charge right there on hid blog too! I you need more help, or someone to hold your hand, then he also offers coaching as well. I have never had the pleasure to hear him speak, but I am sure he can motivate as well as he writes.
And while on the blog, hop on over to Jeffrey's main site to find out more details of his one-on-one coaching, his speaking schedule, and a list of suggested reading, along with his portfolio.
Happy reading!

Psychology for Photographers
Psychology for Photographers
I just stumbled upon this lovely blog today. What a concept to have help understanding how others think and feel about our work as photographers, and how they might spend their money with us. Intrigued, I dug deeper. I was impressed with the idea of having a more successful photography business, so why not go ahead and download the e-book: How Clients Make Decisions About Money. After all, it's free! I peeked inside, and it's got some good stuff int here.
Be sure to read the blog too. Need help with your blog? How about sales? There's a post for that.
I recommend giving this blog a look-see, and why not download the free e-book while you're there!
Smiles,
Pam
