Can you answer this question right now, off the top of your head: what happens from the moment a client fills out your contact form to the moment you deliver their gallery? Every single step? If you're blanking (or cringing a little), this episode is your wake-up call, and I mean that with so much love. In this episode of the Systems and Workflow Magic Podcast, I'm revisiting one of my oldest episodes from over five years ago and giving it a major refresh, because we need to get back to the foundations. I'm walking you through five concrete steps to building your very first business workflow as a family photographer, and I'm sharing the embarrassing SD card story that made me realize my business was running on memory and prayers instead of actual systems.
I decided to redo this episode because I've worked with hundreds of family photographers (especially inside my membership, The Family Photographers Marketing Society), and I keep seeing the same pattern: you know your process, you've done it dozens of times, but it's all trapped in your head. And when everything lives in your brain, things get dropped. This episode is your permission slip to start with just one workflow and build from there.
