143: Where She Is Now, Another Year Later: How Katie Expanded Her Business, Bought a Second Studio and Entered Her Peaceful Era Thanks to Outsourcing
She’s baaack! Join me and my Outsourcing Made Easy student, Katie, as we catch up a year after our last podcast episode together. We’ll be diving into how her business has evolved since we last spoke, the support she gets in her business now, and her advice for photographers looking to leave burnout behind. Plus, she’ll be giving us a *very* special behind-the-scenes tour of the second (!) studio she’s been able to open up in her business thanks to the power of outsourcing!
