Jeremy Beasley is a Facebook ads expert, film director, wedding photographer, and overall an incredibly curious and fascinating mind. A few years back, he sold a documentary that he made on Tiny Houses to Netflix! Prior to that, he was an international wedding photographer for several years, then left the industry and founded a Japanese knife company.
Together with Jeremy we dive into the topic of allowing yourself to try new things without worrying too much about them being perfect and successful right from the start. The pace at which you create new things, is the pace at which you learn. Hence, ignore the unorganized ducks and imperfect circumstances. Stop waiting for signs from above. Follow your instinct and passions. Not all of them need to be life-changing decisions. Some, are simply there to make your life more fun and enjoyable.

The topic of this conversation, while focused on the Italian market, is applicable to all wedding photographers anywhere.

In todayâs episode we are talking to the delightful Ellie McKinney, a wedding photographer and educator from North Carolina. Ellie implements the Enneagram personality test into her coaching for photographers and of course, into her own business and life.
Knowing your Enneagram number doesnât have to be a tight box that you have to adhere to: instead it can be a tool you can use to better understand yourself, how your clients perceive you and what the best workflow for your own business is.
