Lessons Learned: Celebrating 100 Episodes & 10 Years in Business | Ep100
Have you ever wondered what it takes to build a successful business from the ground up? Join Yesenia Bocanegra for a special milestone episode as she celebrates a decade of Focus and Bloom Studios and our 100th podcast episode! In this episode, Yesenia, your video podcast and content creation coach, reflects on the incredible journey from year one to year ten.
📸 Year 1: Starting a business in a new town, the hustle to become a well-known fashion photographer, and the importance of starting even before you're ready.
💍 Year 5: Transitioning from fashion to wedding photography, achieving financial goals, and the pivotal decision to leave a 9-to-5 job.
🎙️ Year 10: Embracing new roles as a brand photographer and video podcast coach, adapting to the pandemic, and continuously growing the business.
In this episode we discuss:
Start before you're ready and surround yourself with a supportive community.
Don't hesitate to outsource tasks to focus on what you do best.
Be open to pivoting and trying new things, even if it takes time.
Embrace your roots, trust your inner voice, and dream big!
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this incredible journey. Here's to the next decade of creativity, growth, and dreaming big!
