Avoid frustration, discouragement, and burnout. This course covers the PREPARATION and BUSINESS side of photography, not the technical aspect of it (aperture, ISO, etc). Nailing down the simple business side of doing paid gigs is often overlooked by photographers who are just starting to make money off of their talent. However, business skills are easily just as important (and arguably more important!), and is the exact area where many talented photographers struggle. Download the course extras!

As a fellow productivity addict, I knew from an early age that creativity would play a large part in my life. From studying at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design, to becoming an internationally recognized artist, to working as an excited graphic designer and illustrator at a book publishing company, to serving as an eager photographer, designer, and web designer at an international motorcycle magazine, my creative journey has been nothing short of thrilling. Since then, I have to worked with clients from Detroit to Australia on projects ranging from designing websites to photographing professional boxers in the streets of New York. Here's to the pursuit of creativity and entrepreneurship!
