Group Coaching & Q&A Call – Sat. Sept. 17th 2011

Yesterday, Saturday September 17th 2011, I hosted my monthly group coaching and Q&A call. This is part of my Zenologue Insiders program, but as a special gift to some of my readers, I opened this up to try to help as many people as possible move forward with their business.

The call took place at 2pm Central time (3pm Eastern, 12pm Pacific, 8pm GMT).

Here are some of the great questions that we answered yesterday on the call:

  • What’s to keep us from being distracted from our passion in photography when other jobs and assignment opportunities come along?
  •  How can I market myself when I’m just starting out, essentially taking photography from a hobby into a business?
  •  How do I develop the confidence to go professional from being a hobbyist?
  •  How can we get ourselves unstuck and moving again?
