My 1:1 Business Mentoring enrollment is now LIVE!!

My 1:1 Business Mentoring enrollment is now LIVE!!!

When I launched my Business Mentoring in August, I knew that it was something that had been on my heart for a long time but I didn't realize how amazing it would feel to launch something completely new. It's been such a wild ride and I'm so thrilled to be relaunching this offering.

I could go on and on but here's the thing... all the important stuff is in the link in my bio.

My program sold out last time and I'm expecting to see out this time. In fact, my spots have been filling up behind the scenes and I only have 2 (TWO) open spots left!

If you've been thinking about jumping on this offer, DM me so we can jump on a call to see if it's a good fit for you!

3 Tips for Attracting Your Ideal Client 1. Find y

3 Tips for Attracting Your Ideal Client

1. Find your niche.

While being open to taking any work can seem like a good strategy for increasing bookings, you're actually confusing your potential clients. It's going to be difficult for your ideal client to recognize that you two are a match when you haven't set boundaries around what you do. When you can get really specific about what you do and why, you'll make it a lot easier for your ideal client to find and book you!

2. Plan portfolio shoots.

Portfolio shoots are such an important piece for attracting your ideal client because they allow you to share, in a clear and tangible way, exactly what you shoot or what you would like to shoot. If you are looking for your lost dog, you show people a picture of your dog, right? If you're looking for clients, show them a picture of what you want your clients to look like.

3. Say no to clients that aren't the right fit.

Taking on clients that aren't the right fit pushes you further away from your goal and closer to someone else's goal. When you turn down potential clients that aren't the right fit for you, you're sending a powerful message to the universe about what you want and what you are willing to sacrifice in order to get it.

Today is the last day to sign up for my FREE webinar, All About Portfolios! It's tomorrow at 12noon and you don't want to miss it!

I was having coffee with one of my friends a while

I was having coffee with one of my friends a while back and she said something that stuck with me. She said she felt like she needed some sort of an invitation in order to join the art community.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I want to share with you all what I shared with her.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
You don't need to be invited in order to create. We are made to create and to share and no one gets to police your art. Don't wait for an invitation, just begin.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
No one handed me an invitation. I wrote my own. I invited myself to the party BUT, I did have some wonderfully supportive creatives who opened the door when I got there and said, what took you so long, welcome to the party! Those welcoming arms made all the solo journey worth it!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So if you're waiting for an invite, just know I'm cheering you on and waiting for you to get to the party!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The waiting list for my 1:1 Business Mentoring is now open! Spaces are already filling up behind the scenes so if you're interested, make sure to get on the list! Link in bio!

I used to feel like I didn't earn my success as a

I used to feel like I didn't earn my success as a photographer because I didn't struggle enough. I never knew what to say when people would compliment me or say they see my work "EVERYWHERE." *insert awkward laugh*⁠
⁠
So I started asking myself, "Why do I feel like I have to earn my success with hard work alone? Why does my natural ability, confidence, personality, and belief in myself not hold more weight?" Just asking those questions started to shift things for me.⁠
⁠
I've started allowing things to come to me more freely and to flow through me. Do I work hard? Absolutely. But I also started allowing my natural abilities to shine through and do some of the heavy lifting and it changed EVERYTHING!⁠
⁠
I'm curious, do you ever feel like your success isn't valid? I'd love to hear about it!⁠
⁠
I address mindset shifts like this with my 1:1 Business Mentoring clients. If these kind of mental roadblocks keep you from showing up in you business, stay tuned. I have something new coming!

Can I be real for a second? Good, because I'm stressed.⁠
⁠
My son has been saving up to buy himself an iPad for school. He's been working hard and made a deal with dad that if he completed a long list of chores by Tuesday, dad would cover the rest of the costs. BIG stakes. So I had to coach him through a bit of anxiety today around not finishing all the chores and losing out on his big goal. He KNOWS the reward is worth it but the anxiety left him paralyzed, unable to take the next step.⁠
⁠
Can you say, RELATABLE?!⁠
⁠
*cut to me giving myself the EXACT same talk I gave him earlier today*⁠
⁠
October is a BIG month for us, ALL of us. So much is happening in my business, and even more in our personal lives. We have a big reward waiting for us but also a lot of change that demands a lot of work and I am juggling more than I ever have before.⁠
⁠
So... some things we're saying a lot around the Molina household this week.⁠
⁠
1. I am safe.⁠
2. It makes sense that I feel this way.⁠
3. I can do hard things.⁠
4. One step at a time.⁠
⁠
If you're in the weeds, just remember, you can do hard things. One step at a time, build that momentum, create some motivation, celebrate the small wins, be compassionate towards yourself, you'll get there.

Are you waiting to find some motivation before you

Are you waiting to find some motivation before you take your next step? Yeah... I do that sometimes too and it never works.⁠
⁠
Motivation isn't something you find, it's something you create.⁠
⁠
Have you ever gotten a sudden rush of energy because you finally implemented a morning routine? Felt that untouchable feeling after a workout? Gone on an errand-running spree after completing that task that's been weighing on you?⁠
⁠
That's what creating motivation looks like. If you feel unmotivated, instead of waiting until it slaps you across the face, create some for yourself!⁠
⁠
I keep it simple. No jumping out of bed and going for a jog for me, (ahhh, one day though!). Make your bed, get dressed even if you're not leaving the house, meditate, make breakfast. Pick a few that work for you and try it out!⁠
⁠
If I'm feeling unmotivated in the afternoon, I like to clean up my apartment or go for a walk to create some motivation. Just make sure you get right to work afterwards, otherwise that precious motivation you just created will be wasted on Instagram scrolling, a scenario I know all too well. 😉

A few of my conversations over the last 24 hours h

A few of my conversations over the last 24 hours have me meditating on community and belonging.⁠
⁠
I had a quick chat with one of my clients about FOMO-induced impostor syndrome. It reminded me of when I first started out in photography, I felt very-much on the outside of the "cool kids" circle. I would open up Instagram and see a new collaboration or a styled shoot and instantly I wondered why I wasn't good enough to be included.⁠
⁠
I wanted to belong desperately. My worth was so tied to others’ approval of me. I felt excluded, and in those moments, I jumped on board with what I imagined they believed about me–that I wasn't good enough.⁠
⁠
So I put my head down, and I worked. I focused on where I wanted to be not where I was right then. And I began to dream of, and piece together a community that supports and encourages me. It wasn't easy and it took time, but I'm so so grateful for the small but mighty creative community I have today.⁠
⁠
Belonging starts with you. Be enough for yourself. Stay focused, work, dream. Manifest the community you deserve. It takes time, but it’s well worth the wait.
