I recently graduated from the 2026 Chase for Business Coaching for Impact program, and this episode is about what I learned, what changed in my business thinking, and how I plan to apply those lessons moving forward. Chase For Business Coaching For…
In this solo episode of Alien Eyez Photos Industry Talk, I reflect on the value of coaching, mentorship, accountability, business planning, knowing your numbers, and becoming more intentional as an entrepreneur.
One of my biggest takeaways from the program was simple:
Be more proactive than reactive.
Instead of waiting for opportunities, clients, and business to come to you, plan ahead. Fill your calendar. Book in advance. Think beyond the next week or month and start building around the year.
That shift has helped me think more strategically about projections, revenue, expenses, scheduling, and where the business is going instead of only responding to what happens next.
I also talk about why every entrepreneur should consider having a coach, mentor, or both.
You do not always need someone ten steps ahead of you. Sometimes the right person is only one or two steps ahead, has recently experienced the problem you are facing, and can help you avoid mistakes, see opportunities, and execute faster.
But coaching only works if you actually apply what you learn.
You can attend programs, listen to advice, take notes, and build strategies—but without execution, nothing changes.
The program also reinforced something I continue to believe:
Growth requires action.
Learning is important. Strategy is important. Coaching is important. But eventually, you have to execute.
My experience with the program helped me look at Alien Eyez Photos Media differently and think more intentionally about planning, scaling, coaching, and the next phase of the business.
If you are building a business, look for programs, mentors, coaches, and communities that challenge the way you think and help you move forward.
Then take what you learn and put it into action.
Learn. Plan. Execute. Measure. Improve.
