Legal Talk 101 with Creatives Learn Law

by Madison | Nov 24, 2020 | Branding, Business, thoughts by Maddie, Vendor Scoop | 0 comments

Ok, letโ€™s be real. Legal stuff is SCARY. Itโ€™s expensive. Itโ€™s hard to understand. It’s overwhelming realizing everything that we don’t know.   Am I the only one who feels this way?   But at the end of the day, you (I say you, but I mean โ€˜meโ€™...

I'm not going to lie. I used to really shit on ph I'm not going to lie.

I used to really shit on phone photos. Maybe it's the photographer snob in me. Or it's just the ehhh photo quality phone cameras had 5+ years ago. Or I'm just mellowing in my old age (doubtful).

But I'll be the first to tell you. I've changed my mind!

You know, not everyone wants to carry around a big, expensive, heavy camera every time they leave the house in case they come across something โ€œphoto-worthy.โ€ Weird right?! ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

But you know what you DO carry around all the time, that's not heavy, usually fits in your purse, AND takes pretty ok photos?

Yeah. You know where I'm going with this.๐Ÿ“ฑ

Your phone is a business owner's best friend. And on top of it being your life line and connection to your customers and the world...it's the world's most practical camera.๐Ÿ“ท

Now I'm not going to say your phone is going to take as good of photos as a professional camera and lens worth thousands of dollars. It's not. Please. Don't kid yourself.๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

But your phone is easy. Easy to learn, easy to use. When you understand HOW to set your camera phone up for success...it can take a pretty damn good photo.

And I'm going to teach you how.

Join me and our video expert, Heather Hukari with @phonevideo101 , THIS weekend for a 2.5 hour workshop on how to take photos AND videos for your business. For #denver locals only, and we're capping it at 10 people.

Sign up today (link in bio). Learn how to take photos you can be proud of...with just your phone. Your business will thank you later. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Is your business like a shitty diet?๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿฅ—๐Ÿ˜’

Meaning...you set all of these really unrealistic tasks to get your business to that ideal place, you make it like a week, and then it all fizzles out?

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to post on Instagram daily!

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผThen, I'm going to master ALL the social platforms: Linkedin, Clubhouse, TikTok, and Facebook.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to engage with every comment online.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to post a new blog twice a week.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to go to one new networking group a week.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to meet with 2 prospective clients per week.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to answer all emails within 3 hours.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to follow up with old inquiries every week.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to ask past clients for referrals.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผI'm going to send fun little client gifts as a thank you for said referrals.

๐Ÿ‘Š๐ŸผAnd then, on top of all of this, I'm going to run my business and provide an amazing product/service.

๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜ž

Ummmmmmm, no.

Like losing 100 pounds, that shit doesnโ€™t happen all at once. So stop setting yourself up for failure.
