Overcoming Self-Sabotage in Your Photography Business

In this episode we focus on the concept of self-sabotage, drawing from ‘The Mountain is You’ by Brianna Wiest, explaining that it stems from conflicting conscious and unconscious desires. We share personal experiences and examples of how self-sabotage can impede progress in a photography business. Key self-sabotage tactics include resistance, perfectionism, hitting upper limits, justification, and fear of success.  We emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing these behaviors to move forward and achieve one’s full potential in the photography business.
