003 – Productivity! 3 Tips to Move Forward Toward Your Goals! | Photographer Business Help
On this episode of Business Straight Up, a small business podcast for creative entrepreneurs and photographer business help, I share three things you can start doing TODAY to get more done.

You get 24 hours to do what you need to do, and really, when you’re sleeping well, only about 16. So what are you doing in those 16 hours to design the life you dream of?
