531: Nik Buttigieg – How to relocate your photography business and get profitable fast

Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Today's guest is Albury Wodonga Family Photographer Buttigieg, who needs almost no introduction for long-time listeners and Premium Members. I first interviewed him as part of The Coaching Diaries when he was working with Photography Business Coach Johl Dunn. At that time, he was on track to take his small, part-time business to full-time and highly profitable. In the subsequent interviews, we heard how a total shift in mindset had put him on that path. He was full-time, profitable, supporting his family with photography… life was good in the small town he was living and working in. Then, at the end of the third and most recent members-only interview, when things are going better than ever, he reveals that he's packing up and moving across the country to start over. It's been around a year now, and I thought it'd be the perfect time to check in and see if a photography business and its lead generation and sales tactics are as easily transferable as we'd like to believe.
