E7 | The Role Of Print Competition In Developing Your Business

In this episode of The Fully Booked Photographer, the Business Success Academy team discusses the effect of print competitions and how winning awards have been considered as a significant measure of success.

 

These accomplishments can boost your reputation and potentially attract more clients, however relying on external validation may not be sustainable in the long run. Instead, photographers should focus on creating photographs that speak to their unique vision and style. The process of self-discovery and improvement is a more fulfilling and valuable pursuit than seeking recognition from others.

 

The Business Success Academy team discusses how print competitions can foster an unhealthy mindset and distract photographers from their own growth. Therefore, it is essential for photographers to balance their desire for external recognition with the recognition they give themselves for their personal and professional development.

 

In this episode you will hear:

• Why you don’t need validation.
• The problem with print competition.
• The importance of mindset in business.
