Fri, 06 Dec 2019 - 18min - 141 - What to do when you get unsolicited feedback
Has this ever happened to you? I'm pretty sure it's happened to all of us. Someone giving us their opinion or advice when we were least expecting it. It can really throw you into a tailspin and while unsolicited feedback in most cases is really not appropriate that doesn't mean it won't happen.
Learning strategies for dealing with these situations can help you to move forward quickly and not let these situations derail you for long.
I got some unsolicited feedback the other day and made notes of the feelings, processing and resolution. Sharing all of that on the episode today!

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 - 36min - 137 - Everything you never knew about weight loss
Today's episode is unlike any of the other episodes that a regular part of Focus(ed) Podcast!
A while back, as part of my 2019 goals update episode, I shared where I am at with my weight loss goals for the year and because of that it sparked interest for me to talk a little bit more about what I've been doing and learning this past year.
Just over a year ago, Paul and I both started learning more about low carb/no sugar/ketogenic dietary changes. Throughout the course of learning and applying what we have learned, we have both dropped considerable amounts of weight, feel better than we ever have and haven't been hungry, cranky or on the struggle bus. There are very specific reasons for WHY all of that is, and I go over a lot of that in the episode!
Instead of me just hoping on and sharing everything, I had two friends (thank you so much Christina and Jessica!!) come on the episode with me and interview me. The conversational style was great and I am so appreciative that they spent the time to do this!
If you are interested in learning more, absolutely feel free to connect with me on Insta at either @cinnamonwolfe.co or @ketofocused.

Many photographers start off saying yes to any and every inquiry that comes their way. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing, there comes a point when not everyone can be your ideal client. Tiffany Wayne is sharing her journey to full-time wedding photography and how she began narrowing down her favorite clients by using her gut and communication style.
It takes time and a few not-so-ideal clients to help you determine your ideal qualities, but don't give up! Once you start saying yes to more and more of the right ones, the more you'll love the clients you work with and the referrals coming your way.

For anyone starting out in business, it is easy to get caught up in trying to book any and every client that comes your way. The downside of this is that it can lead to burn out quicker than you've ever imagined. Abby of Abby Grace Photography loves what she does and has found a way to say 'no' that allows her to step away from burn out and towards success.
Learning how and when to say 'no' for your business will be a game changer in the long run. It allows you to set boundaries in your business that will also impact your personal life. Saying 'no' to things that don't align with your business and brand will allow you the time and energy to say 'yes' to the right things when they come along.
