My background: I am Tax Accountant turned Boudoir Photographer and worked in the business/tax world for half a decade before launching into photography full time and this program really helped take me to the next level. Here's the thing about this product and program: it isn't for everyone. If you like to whine and complain and have people do things for you or quit when things get hard or don't like accountability or constructive criticism - don't sign up. If you want to only try one thing in the program and then complain about why it didn't work instead of asking for help from the community and success counselors and getting helpful hints on how to improve and correct - then don't sign up. If you want someone who will run your business for you instead of you putting in the work and giving you great practical tools and a safe a productive community in which to operate - yeah. Don't sign up. This is not for people who are whine-y or entitled or want to be fed each step on a silver spoon. This is for self-motivated, awesome, inspiring, go-get-em types that don't make excuses and get *** done. If that is not you, if you are someone who always directs their failure towards others, or makes excuses, or gives up the second something gets uncomfortable - definitely don't sign up. This isn't for you. You don't belong here. So. Bye. Is this program perfect? Heck no. Nothing is perfect. So don't expect that. Is it pretty great? Yeah. It is. Will it save you time and give you valuable resources if you learn how to use it correctly? Yeah. It will. Will it give you money if you give up and complain and don't reach out for help to the resources available to you? NOPE. Do you have to pay to renew every year? Yeah. But only like $500 and for the upkeep on the community and resources you get for that it is nothing. If you are actually running a successful photo studio you know that $500 is NOTHING especially if it is tax deductible. I pay more for that in insurance per year (and if you are photographer without insurance - just get out. GET OUT! You are not professional and do not care about your clients and their safety so you automatically disqualify yourselves). Your success depends on you. You can NOT just expect to throw money at something and have them do everything for you. Business is not a five star resort where you get everything you ask for just by raising your hand. Business is WORK. So if you do not want to work - just leave. Just go away. You may be the best person in the world and that is great but if you do not want to work and work HARD and fail and learn don't pay for this course . It is basically boudoir COLLEGE and you DO NOT get a passing grade by just sitting in the side. I fully admit there are flaws in the course but they are constantly being addressed and corrected and that is the best thing you can see from a business. Is it perfect? No. Because NO ONE is perfect. Is it amazing and great if you put in the work and never give up? Heck yeah! Take this as you will but don't trust the haters. Anyone who gives a one star obviously never put in the work or made use of the resources and it shows.
