How to Begin
With any new business, it truly all begins with an idea, or vision. A heart palpitation that there is more in store.
Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, as long as you obey the voice of God - you cannot go wrong. This is why walking in obedience is crucial for any business.
“As long as you obey the voice of God- you cannot go wrong”
For years I’d been pondering creating a course - so one year ago (jan 2022) I took the leap of faith and invested in a mastermind to create a course and sales funnel. I wasn’t sure who my specific audience was. Was I to reach senior photographers? all photographers? Or faith based photographers?
As I sought the Lord His vision became my vision. I saw photographers coming together, uplifting one another, holding each other accountable and the Lord doing an incredible work- creating a fierce faith in photographers nation wide.
Now I want to be completely transparent. I did this scared. I did this messy. I did it shaking and questioning. I had to sharpen my mind to deflect the lies of the enemy. It was easy…but it was a calling.
“As I sought the Lord His vision became my vision”
I saw lives transformed, not only in business, but in their homes, marriages and motherhood. Women’s mindsets were transformed and they walked boldly and confidently.
So I spent many dollars and countless hours attempting to create a community of faith based photographers - with spirit led group coaching. I believe where we are set free- The Lord empowers us to set others free. AND where we have been set free - we are anointed and enabled to set others free.
My mind, heart, soul and my past I have been set free by the blood of Jesus. The Lord has brought me into His indentity - a new level of confidence in all that I do.
This all being said even when it didn’t seem like fruit was coming from my work - it did. I started Click & Bloom with just one photographer. I heard the voice of the Lord clearly - if you serve the one well, I can entrust you with more. So as I was not even breaking even financially with one in my community I still showed up every week as if there were 50.
Within the first weeks this photographer started seeing herself differently. She was gaining confidence and the mind of Christ. I’m not going to say it was always easy, because clients weren't coming in for her at first - but together we started switching her marketing plan and within three months her calendar was booked out the rest of the year (2022 Sept - Dec).
She flourished. She is becoming a new “go-to” photographer in her area. She has grew and flourished tremendously in just 3 months under my coaching and mentorship.
Are you struggling to find clients or the right clients? Is your mind all over the place? Do you have times you question what you are doing or if you are walking in HIS will? Are you frozen in overwhelm of running a business? Girl I feel you. Deeply. If you have put your trust in Jesus, and can commit to yourself and the plans the Lord has for you I would love to chat further to see if our community or 1:1 coaching would launch you into your promised land. If you feel like you are operating your business in dry and parched land - come to the well. We would love to encourage, pray and love on you.
Love ya,
Suzy
