Get your business in shape! | Liana’s Business Bootcamp in Orlando!

Hello everyone! Today I’m taking a break from the photo posting (future brides please forgive me) to speak to my fellow business owners out there. Nate and I are so excited to announce that we are going to be hosting the incomparable Liana Lehman Hall and her Business Bootcamp 2-Day Intensive Workshop. I’ve been wanting to be a part of this workshop since I first started our business in 2008 and I’m so excited that it’s finally happening! The workshop is an intimate and intense 2 days of taking a hard look at your business and your financials and whipping them into shape. If you’re like me, you’re better at the artistic side than the business and taxes side. That’s where Liana steps in!

Here’s how Liana describes her workshop:

The Business Boot Camp (BBC) is an intense, intimate two-day experience designed to help you take your photography business to the next level, enforce business health and profitability, and create a better work/life balance.

Expect to come prepared with a lot of hard work and thought put in beforehand. On the first day, we will look at your goals and make a plan for our time together based on what is needed the most. We will likely cover a variety of topics including but not limited to some of the following: pricing, packages, merchandising, sales, branding, marketing, workflow, communications, office management, taking better photos straight out of the camera, and customer service.

The format of the class is a small-group discussion environment so you can expect to actively particpate and take your turn in sharing, brainstorming/working, listening, and observing. You will not be bored to tears with two days of lectures and presentations. The two days will be intense but will fly by!

You can learn more and get all the information about the Workshop on Liana’s Business Bootcamp website. Registration is limited to 8 studios and Liana has given me the go-ahead to extend the invitation not only to photographers but to other local business owners as well! So if you’re a planner, a baker, a graphic designs maker, or whatever else, you are invited to come and get your learn on about giving your business the foundation it needs to be successful and profitable.

This workshop is an investment in yourself and your business and you can read reviews from past attendees on her website. (I’ve never heard anything but AMAZING reviews.) And I’m giving you tons of advance notice to save up! The workshop is going to be January 10-12, 2011 at our studio in Winter Park, Florida. Nate and I are considering the experience our Christmas gift to our business. It’s perfect timing as it will be right after year end, as you’re getting ready to organize yourself and your financials for the upcoming year.

Take a look, talk it over (with yourself or your business partner) and when you’re ready, go ahead and sign up. We’re limited to 8 businesses to keep things intimate. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us. We can help you find lodging if you’re coming in from out of town as well. We can’t wait to see you in January!
