A Refreshingly Simple Approach to Setting Goals (And Hitting Them)

The Edit - EP 003

Hey there and happy Sunday!

Ready to hit the ground running with your goals for the new year? We here at The Edit, along with our friend, guest and guy-behind-the-scenes here, Chris Scott, have got you covered! This week, we’ll explore the ins and outs of setting achievable, yet challenging, business goals while also balancing family life.

Whether you're a seasoned photography business owner or just starting out, this episode will give you the insight and tools you need to set exciting (but achievable) goals, break those goals down into bite-sized action items, all while challenging the typical definition of “success”. So, grab a drink, lock the kids out and get ready to supercharge your goal-setting game!

On Redefining “Success”


In society, as a whole, we've long been conditioned to believe that success is all about hitting monetary targets, but we here at The Edit hope this episode has sparked some much-needed reflection for you on what your definition of success looks like.

Our journey is more than numbers on a page; it's about growth, family, and the positive impact we bring to others' lives and our communities. It's almost as if society tries to fit us into a mold of success that doesn't quite feel right.

So, here's the thing: we'd love for you to join us in challenging those traditional views. We're seeking fulfillment, balance, and joy from our work, not just a figure on a graph. We'd prefer to break free from society's superficial measures and pave a new path, one that's true to us and our unique understanding of success, for whatever season we’re currently in.

We’d love for you to spend some time this week reflecting on this and, if it resonates with you, to redefine the way you measure “success” and embrace goals that bring meaning and purpose and satisfaction to all areas of your life, not just to your business.

Our Challenge To You


Ready to dive in? Do this today: Shoot a text to at least one photographer friend to set up a date and time this week to go through the goal setting process together. Having a peer to bounce ideas off of, come up with milestones, projects and tasks with and to help you see the things you don’t see about yourself is incredibly powerful when tackling a project like this.

So, whether you do this on Zoom with friends across the globe or over a cup of coffee with your local network of photographers, get something on the calendar this week and stick to it!

Until next week!
