Childhood Shoes and Money Mindset with Denise Duffield-Thomas
IN THIS EPISODE:
#152 - If Denise Duffield-Thomas took out a billboard, I suspect she'd paint it with this message in G-I-A-N-T letters: You're allowed to make money doing what you love!
Denise, a money-mindset mentor based in Australia, joined me to explore how our stories around money are formed, and how they impact our businesses—sometimes many decades later. If you're struggling to reconcile having a fun career with having a lucrative career, this episode's for you.

00:00:18,630 --> 00:00:22,170
reluctance to charge all the way to my childhood shoes.

So stay tuned.
12
00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:26,140
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.

00:00:26,140 --> 00:00:28,260

23
00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:46,650
Welcome back to the hair of the dog podcast with me
24
00:00:46,650 --> 00:00:48,330
today, we have a very,
25
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:49,590
very special guest,
26
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:53,280
someone that I've been listening to in my ears for years
27
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:55,800
and has made quite an impact on my life.
28
00:00:56,070 --> 00:00:59,520
Denise Duffield Thomas from Denise D t.com.
29
00:00:59,850 --> 00:01:02,250
Welcome to the hair of the dog podcast.
30
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:06,180
Well, I am super honored because I'm obsessed with my dogs.
31
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:11,340
It's good that I can combine my love of money mindset
32
00:01:11,370 --> 00:01:14,310
and my love of my dogs in one interview.
33
00:01:15,570 --> 00:01:16,320
That is awesome.
34
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,530
Yes. Anytime we can combine dogs and anything,
35
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,430
life is good.
36
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,480
I was at the hair salon today and someone brought their
37
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,230
dog in and it was just instant happiness for everybody in
38
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:29,940
there. Yes,
39
00:01:29,970 --> 00:01:31,290
absolutely. So,
40
00:01:31,290 --> 00:01:32,400
yeah. So as you know,
41
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,740
I have a big community of pet photographers and we love
42
00:01:37,740 --> 00:01:39,990
to chat about money mindset here on the hair of the
43
00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:40,830
dog podcast,
44
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:44,670
because I believe success is so much more than just figuring
45
00:01:44,670 --> 00:01:47,430
out what your pricing is because,
46
00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:47,880
you know,
47
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,880
if you do all the numbers and you get your pricing
48
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,250
ready, but you still have this like energetic,
49
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,150
just yucky feeling around your money or what you're charging.
50
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,280
I feel like it's just really,
51
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
really hard to get any clients because of that.
52
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:03,390
Just yuckiness that you have.
53
00:02:03,930 --> 00:02:05,550
Absolutely. Absolutely.
54
00:02:05,610 --> 00:02:07,560
And it's every industry for sure.
55
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:10,620
But what I find is the reason why I love coming
56
00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:14,670
on industry specific podcasts is because people try and tell me
57
00:02:14,670 --> 00:02:15,810
that they're the exempt,
58
00:02:15,990 --> 00:02:17,130
like the exception.
59
00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:21,450
They don't have to do money mindset work because they're like,
60
00:02:21,510 --> 00:02:28,620
no, but our blocks are real Denise justified loud to undercharge.
61
00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,600
And I hear this from every industry.
62
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,860
So it's my favorite thing.
63
00:02:33,990 --> 00:02:34,470
I love it.
64
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,240
Yeah. That's definitely gotta be quite the,
65
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:40,350
quite the perspective you get talking to the hairdressers and the,
66
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:40,740
you know,
67
00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:41,400
we are trying to say,
68
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:42,180
and you're just on,
69
00:02:42,750 --> 00:02:45,600
Yes, we can't charge for it.
70
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,740
Wedding professionals.
71
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:47,400
Oh, I love it.
72
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,420
So I can't charge for it.
73
00:02:49,170 --> 00:02:51,750
And photographers are really interesting,
74
00:02:51,750 --> 00:02:54,360
right? Because photography is one of those things.
75
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,700
That's our record of our human lives.
76
00:02:56,910 --> 00:03:01,000
It's been around such a long time and yet we still
77
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,370
discounted. And then you go into the different niches where,
78
00:03:06,370 --> 00:03:06,670
you know,
79
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:07,570
oh, well I'm a,
80
00:03:07,690 --> 00:03:08,770
I'm a family photographer.
81
00:03:08,770 --> 00:03:09,610
So I can't charge.
82
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:10,840
I'm a baby photographer.
83
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,530
So why can't charge?
84
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,780
I'm a maternity for,
85
00:03:13,780 --> 00:03:16,150
I can't charge pet photographers.
86
00:03:16,690 --> 00:03:18,910
I used to be hero too.
87
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,730
I don't know you are,
88
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,750
you are exempt from money,
89
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:23,200
mindset work,
90
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,860
but not,
91
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:24,790
I mean,
92
00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:25,810
let's face it.
93
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:27,670
Pet photography is one of those things we think,
94
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:28,510
oh, it's so new.
95
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,220
The earliest photographers took pictures of their pets to Right.
96
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:34,750
That's what I always like to say too.
97
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:37,300
If you look at art and you go to a museum,
98
00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:39,370
there's a lot of pictures of animals.
99
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:40,930
I mean,
100
00:03:40,930 --> 00:03:42,070
the Egyptians,
101
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,840
they were obsessed with their cats.
102
00:03:44,140 --> 00:03:45,010
Right. Right.
103
00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:45,250
You know,
104
00:03:46,210 --> 00:03:47,230
there are old,
105
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,620
you know,
106
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:52,480
books and records where people talk about their cats and you
107
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:53,140
know, we're just,
108
00:03:53,170 --> 00:03:56,170
we're obsessed with our animals and that's always going to be
109
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:56,890
the case.
110
00:03:57,070 --> 00:04:00,130
So why do we think that that's not a valuable thing
111
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,060
to offer people even more so you can be married to
112
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:05,140
someone for 70 years,
113
00:04:05,140 --> 00:04:08,290
but your pet only lives for a short period of time.
114
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:12,550
I'd rather I'd way rather have more pictures of my pets
115
00:04:12,580 --> 00:04:13,900
than wedding pictures.
116
00:04:15,010 --> 00:04:15,940
Yeah. It's funny story.
117
00:04:15,940 --> 00:04:17,350
Whenever my husband and I travel,
118
00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:19,600
we end up sending more pictures of the animals to each
119
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,890
other than we do of the kids.
120
00:04:22,030 --> 00:04:22,810
I, yes,
121
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:23,770
same. My,
122
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:26,110
my mom was babysitting and I was like,
123
00:04:26,110 --> 00:04:27,100
how are my babies?
124
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:28,690
And she knew I meant the dogs.
125
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:30,700
Oh yeah.
126
00:04:30,730 --> 00:04:31,450
And the kids too.
127
00:04:31,450 --> 00:04:32,530
Yes. But also the doctor,
128
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,750
But that,
129
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:39,820
that heartwarming video and it's like in a classroom and there's
130
00:04:39,820 --> 00:04:40,900
a box and the teacher says,
131
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:42,070
go and look inside the box.
132
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:43,570
There's a picture of my favorite student.
133
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:48,670
And it's like this beautiful heart will mean music.
134
00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:50,680
And each student goes and looks in the box and then
135
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,610
they kind of laugh.
136
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,730
And at the end it's revealed that it's a mirror and
137
00:04:55,390 --> 00:04:57,400
Yeah, I'm going to do the same to my family,
138
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,810
but I'm just going to put a picture of my dog
139
00:04:58,810 --> 00:05:00,910
in there and say,
140
00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:01,270
now look,
141
00:05:01,270 --> 00:05:01,600
you know,
142
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:03,640
like go and have a look at my favorite member of
143
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,150
the family.
144
00:05:04,750 --> 00:05:05,800
And it will be one of the features,
145
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,540
one of my hobbies.
146
00:05:08,810 --> 00:05:09,040
That's like,
147
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,090
that's my favorite child.
148
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:11,260
And they'll go and look and go,
149
00:05:11,410 --> 00:05:12,390
oh, oh,
150
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,510
Oh, I love it.
151
00:05:16,540 --> 00:05:16,960
I love it.
152
00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:19,990
Yeah. So I feel like as a photographer,
153
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:23,050
people definitely have that mindset issue.
154
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,150
And then it becomes a,
155
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:27,340
it turns into a guilt of,
156
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,120
I want everybody to have what I can do and you
157
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,040
know, because everyone loves their dog,
158
00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:34,780
but this is a luxury,
159
00:05:34,810 --> 00:05:35,320
you know,
160
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:36,970
most pet photographers,
161
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,740
several thousand dollars for a session.
162
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,710
So it becomes this luxury thing that then I think there
163
00:05:41,740 --> 00:05:44,410
becomes a guilt component to not being able to give it
164
00:05:44,410 --> 00:05:45,070
to everybody.
165
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:46,390
Of course.
166
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:47,290
And trust me,
167
00:05:47,290 --> 00:05:48,970
I hear this so often,
168
00:05:48,970 --> 00:05:49,270
you know,
169
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,390
one of the case studies in my new book is someone
170
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:54,160
who is a pelvic floor,
171
00:05:54,580 --> 00:05:55,360
yoga teacher,
172
00:05:56,170 --> 00:05:57,170
helping people with,
173
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,750
with horrible postpartum issues.
174
00:06:00,290 --> 00:06:02,870
And she said the same thing I want.
175
00:06:02,990 --> 00:06:04,610
I'm so passionate about this.
176
00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:08,030
I want everybody to have access to this kind of work.
177
00:06:09,170 --> 00:06:09,500
And again,
178
00:06:09,500 --> 00:06:11,810
I hear this from so many different industries too,
179
00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:16,160
but here's the thing when you're undercharging and you're burning yourself
180
00:06:16,190 --> 00:06:21,440
out, you have zero overflow or you just,
181
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:24,800
I'm sure you see people leave the industry all the time
182
00:06:24,830 --> 00:06:25,940
because they're burnt out.
183
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:28,280
And when you are charging,
184
00:06:28,460 --> 00:06:32,990
win-win pricing to the majority of your clients appropriately,
185
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:37,070
you have bend with them to come up with ideas where
186
00:06:37,070 --> 00:06:38,420
you can serve a lot more people.
187
00:06:38,570 --> 00:06:41,150
So in some industries that is writing a book,
188
00:06:41,510 --> 00:06:44,270
so then people who can't work with you one-on-one can,
189
00:06:44,510 --> 00:06:44,790
you know,
190
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:48,260
you can still get your wisdom or it could be being
191
00:06:48,290 --> 00:06:51,290
very generous with your free knowledge and information of,
192
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:51,710
you know,
193
00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:53,240
here are the tips of how to get,
194
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,520
how to take your own photo shoots with your dogs.
195
00:06:55,820 --> 00:06:58,220
It's hard to have the bandwidth to do that when you're
196
00:06:58,220 --> 00:06:59,840
burning yourself out with one-on-one clients,
197
00:07:00,170 --> 00:07:02,870
or it means you can be really generous and give scholarships
198
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:03,620
every now and again,
199
00:07:03,710 --> 00:07:07,340
or you can deliberately then do things like,
200
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:08,090
you know,
201
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,600
whole day ones where people can get one or two snaps
202
00:07:11,810 --> 00:07:12,500
with their dogs.
203
00:07:12,830 --> 00:07:15,230
But when your default is undercharging,
204
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:17,240
when your default is over-delivering,
205
00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,840
your impact actually becomes smaller and smaller because we only have
206
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,930
so many hours in the day when,
207
00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:27,410
when you're taking care of and you're charging win-win cause again,
208
00:07:27,650 --> 00:07:29,900
there's always people who will pay premium for anything.
209
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,710
Then you have so much bandwidth to give back,
210
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:36,170
but without being resentful over it,
211
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:37,640
because it's not your default,
212
00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:39,530
Right? That's a,
213
00:07:39,530 --> 00:07:41,300
that's a great point for sure.
214
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,790
Absolutely. And something,
215
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:45,530
I think a lot of people in the industry struggle with
216
00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:48,320
because they are so much of empath and they live lit
217
00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:49,280
lead with their heart.
218
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:49,850
And you know,
219
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,560
we just want to photograph all the puppies.
220
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:54,020
Of course,
221
00:07:54,650 --> 00:07:56,060
I think this is the big thing that I,
222
00:07:56,140 --> 00:07:57,680
I really have to work within.
223
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,840
So many different industries is you can either work really hard
224
00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:05,030
and kind of hate your job,
225
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:09,500
or you can love what you do and you're allowed to
226
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:13,940
make money and love what you do you relate to.
227
00:08:14,090 --> 00:08:17,060
But I think it just breaks that feeling of no,
228
00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:18,950
that work is hard.
229
00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:21,290
Work is something you have to do that you don't like.
230
00:08:21,290 --> 00:08:24,200
And especially if you've left a corporate job to follow your
231
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,130
dream of being a pet photographer or any kind of photographer,
232
00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:29,150
it feels like,
233
00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:31,190
then that's the sacrifice you're making of going.
234
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160
Wow. One path leads to money and one path,
235
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:36,680
you know what I've decided I'm going to be some sort
236
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:37,580
of artist.
237
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,430
So therefore I have to be a starving artist.
238
00:08:40,460 --> 00:08:45,650
Therefore I have to choose this path of undercharging overdelivering and
239
00:08:45,650 --> 00:08:46,400
being broke.
240
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,270
And it feels like if you converge those paths,
241
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,040
then you're a sell out or you don't care doing something
242
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:56,400
somehow unethical.
243
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,150
And again,
244
00:08:57,150 --> 00:08:58,740
I hear this in so many different industries,
245
00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:01,560
but we have to go and do our own inner work
246
00:09:01,590 --> 00:09:02,160
around that.
247
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,480
What is worthy of charging for what is real work?
248
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:10,080
Am I allowed to have so much fun and still make
249
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,540
a great profit and make a great living?
250
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:14,310
I love that.
251
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,690
And you know,
252
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,540
there's so much talk about finding your purpose.
253
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,390
And I think just society in general,
254
00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:22,380
over many,
255
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:24,470
many years just like beats it into.
256
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:25,320
If you go to school,
257
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,160
you get a job,
258
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:27,540
you do it for 40 years,
259
00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:28,290
then you retire.
260
00:09:28,290 --> 00:09:29,340
Then you can have fun.
261
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:31,200
And you know,
262
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,390
our purpose I think,
263
00:09:33,390 --> 00:09:36,660
is always tied to interest and always tied to following our
264
00:09:36,660 --> 00:09:38,700
passion, always tied to follow in our joy.
265
00:09:39,150 --> 00:09:42,090
And if that's what we're here on earth to do,
266
00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:42,480
then yes,
267
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,580
we are going to have fun to do that.
268
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:45,540
And yeah,
269
00:09:45,540 --> 00:09:46,440
you're exactly right.
270
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,210
That why,
271
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:48,720
who said,
272
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,130
who made up the rule that said,
273
00:09:50,340 --> 00:09:52,260
do you can't have fun or enjoy your work?
274
00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:54,540
Well, you know what,
275
00:09:54,930 --> 00:09:56,250
there's a couple of things around that,
276
00:09:56,250 --> 00:09:59,040
right? One is that if you think back to your own
277
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,000
experiences of,
278
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,470
of work and your work is most of us grew up
279
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:07,020
watching that on TV or it was just in our own
280
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:07,860
families. Right.
281
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:12,510
And so often our own family's professions has a really big,
282
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:16,830
like impact on how we feel about work.
283
00:10:17,310 --> 00:10:20,040
What was considered real work in your family.
284
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,190
Also, what did you see on TV about creative people?
285
00:10:23,190 --> 00:10:24,180
About entrepreneurs?
286
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,590
One for me,
287
00:10:25,590 --> 00:10:25,920
I never,
288
00:10:26,430 --> 00:10:29,550
I didn't really see a lot of female entrepreneurs.
289
00:10:29,790 --> 00:10:33,300
Right. I didn't see a lot of creatives like writers and
290
00:10:33,330 --> 00:10:36,660
often then they was sort of shown as being a bit
291
00:10:37,230 --> 00:10:40,110
ditsy or bad with money or again,
292
00:10:40,110 --> 00:10:41,430
that nurture personality.
293
00:10:41,460 --> 00:10:41,820
Oh, I'm,
294
00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:42,600
I'm doing it,
295
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,070
but I'm not making any money out of it.
296
00:10:44,700 --> 00:10:47,010
And, or the other side of it,
297
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,330
rich bitches,
298
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:49,950
you know?
299
00:10:49,950 --> 00:10:52,680
And so when would you ever even seen,
300
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:54,600
like, what was your impression?
301
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,470
I'm put it back on you,
302
00:10:55,470 --> 00:10:56,550
Nicole, growing up.
303
00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:59,160
What, what did you see who were photographers,
304
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,840
who were allowed to be photographers?
305
00:11:01,950 --> 00:11:02,460
I mean,
306
00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:03,630
back growing up,
307
00:11:03,630 --> 00:11:04,440
it was,
308
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:06,150
the industry has changed so much.
309
00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:10,950
It was definitely old men in a studio doing like the
310
00:11:10,950 --> 00:11:12,000
Olin mills,
311
00:11:12,030 --> 00:11:13,410
like Sears,
312
00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:16,440
like, like little portrait.
313
00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:20,250
There was definitely no animals involved and it was just all
314
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:21,570
very cut and dry.
315
00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:22,770
And this is how it is.
316
00:11:22,890 --> 00:11:25,020
But then just the general work.
317
00:11:25,950 --> 00:11:28,260
I, my parents were both,
318
00:11:28,290 --> 00:11:30,180
both had an entrepreneurial family,
319
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:30,900
my grandparents.
320
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:32,970
So then my parents both worked in those businesses.
321
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,670
So I felt like I had at least a little bit
322
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:37,260
of a heads up or a little bit of a,
323
00:11:37,260 --> 00:11:38,430
like a leg up of,
324
00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:40,380
Hey, you can actually work for yourself.
325
00:11:41,010 --> 00:11:43,650
But I still saw them both working very hard.
326
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:45,090
And you know,
327
00:11:45,090 --> 00:11:47,010
there was a lot of money stories too,
328
00:11:47,010 --> 00:11:49,410
about one of my big ones was easy,
329
00:11:49,410 --> 00:11:52,710
come easy go because of,
330
00:11:53,140 --> 00:11:53,380
you know,
331
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,600
my grandparents had a,
332
00:11:55,850 --> 00:11:57,460
a trucking business that,
333
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:57,850
you know,
334
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,010
eventually when it away.
335
00:12:00,010 --> 00:12:02,620
And then my dad was working in the mortgage industry in
336
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:05,260
oh eight when that whole entire industry imploded.
337
00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:06,910
So there was a lot of,
338
00:12:07,390 --> 00:12:07,840
a lot of,
339
00:12:07,870 --> 00:12:11,230
oh, although you can't control anything and something bad can happen
340
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:11,920
at any time.
341
00:12:12,430 --> 00:12:14,110
Yeah, absolutely.
342
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:19,180
And I would say even to the people who are growing
343
00:12:19,180 --> 00:12:19,900
up now,
344
00:12:19,930 --> 00:12:22,120
they're seeing different forms of work.
345
00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:23,800
Right. But we,
346
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,130
I mean,
347
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,020
I'm just talking to myself here I'm 42,
348
00:12:26,020 --> 00:12:28,180
but I grew up in a world where like there wasn't
349
00:12:28,180 --> 00:12:28,930
the internet.
350
00:12:29,170 --> 00:12:32,140
And so there was no way for people to leverage any
351
00:12:32,140 --> 00:12:34,840
business beyond where they geographically lived.
352
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,680
Right there.
353
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:37,600
Just wasn't there just wasn't the tools.
354
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,310
And so I think people kind of,
355
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:42,970
of our generation we've lived in these two worlds and our
356
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:47,020
brains just can't quite comprehend that it's allowed to be easy
357
00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:49,390
and leveraged because the tools just weren't available.
358
00:12:49,390 --> 00:12:54,340
It's like just breaks that like dollar for effort relationship.
359
00:12:55,570 --> 00:12:56,170
Yeah, absolutely.
360
00:12:56,170 --> 00:12:58,330
I remember going to college I'm 45.
361
00:12:58,390 --> 00:13:00,190
So I've just got just a couple of years on ya.
362
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,450
But I remember going to college,
363
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,260
my roommate was like,
364
00:13:02,260 --> 00:13:03,550
do you think we'll have email?
365
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,260
I said what's email.
366
00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:07,510
Yeah. Yup.
367
00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:08,680
Yup. And yeah,
368
00:13:08,680 --> 00:13:09,430
we didn't even like,
369
00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:11,760
you didn't turn in written papers even in college.
370
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,870
Cause not everyone had computers and crazy.
371
00:13:13,930 --> 00:13:14,860
Crazy. Exactly,
372
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,070
exactly. And so then that's really formative time.
373
00:13:18,070 --> 00:13:18,700
Right. And then,
374
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:19,900
so, you know,
375
00:13:19,900 --> 00:13:22,240
even like probably throughout our twenties as well,
376
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:22,990
like it just,
377
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:26,680
it just wasn't available to entrepreneurs to be able to do
378
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,780
that. And so now to think,
379
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:31,600
wow, I can not only photograph people,
380
00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:33,700
but I can license my work.
381
00:13:33,730 --> 00:13:34,330
I can,
382
00:13:34,450 --> 00:13:36,580
I have all these tools to make it easier for me
383
00:13:36,580 --> 00:13:37,300
to do the edits.
384
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,800
So then it's,
385
00:13:38,860 --> 00:13:39,100
you know,
386
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:41,860
it's easy for me to produce lots of work for them.
387
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:43,240
It's not like you have to go,
388
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:43,750
oh my God,
389
00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:44,350
it's, you know,
390
00:13:44,350 --> 00:13:47,500
I have to buy more film and I'm going to waste
391
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:47,950
the shots.
392
00:13:48,220 --> 00:13:51,940
And so I think it just doesn't feel quite right as
393
00:13:51,940 --> 00:13:54,580
well as the fact that so many people still working jobs
394
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:55,330
that they don't like.
395
00:13:55,330 --> 00:13:58,960
So it feels like this guilty luxury to be able to
396
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,270
do something you love and get paid for it.
397
00:14:01,510 --> 00:14:03,400
So I think it just breaks our brains a little bit,
398
00:14:03,580 --> 00:14:04,150
to be honest.
399
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:06,700
Yeah, Absolutely.
400
00:14:07,060 --> 00:14:09,700
Yeah. What are some of,
401
00:14:09,730 --> 00:14:10,060
you know,
402
00:14:10,060 --> 00:14:13,390
I think one of the hardest things of finding these different
403
00:14:13,390 --> 00:14:14,050
money mindsets,
404
00:14:14,050 --> 00:14:14,770
because you know,
405
00:14:15,670 --> 00:14:16,900
you talk about it all the time.
406
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,550
You uncover one and then you're like,
407
00:14:18,580 --> 00:14:19,120
oh, all right.
408
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:19,780
I got that one.
409
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,700
Oh, well there's a new one.
410
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Whoa. Okay.
411
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,250
There's a new one over here.
412
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:27,490
So what are some of your tricks for just kind of
413
00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:29,980
seeing where we are and helping shot shine?
414
00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:32,890
The light on what some of our money stories are so
415
00:14:32,890 --> 00:14:34,330
that we can start to break them.
416
00:14:34,810 --> 00:14:35,350
Okay. Well,
417
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:37,690
I've been asking everyone interviewing me.
418
00:14:37,690 --> 00:14:40,300
I've been asking them a question because it's really fun to
419
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:40,990
tend the tickets.
420
00:14:41,890 --> 00:14:42,670
Tell me,
421
00:14:42,850 --> 00:14:45,430
tell me about your school shoes.
422
00:14:46,330 --> 00:14:47,470
Tell me what my school shoes.
423
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:49,360
Tell me about your school shoes.
424
00:14:50,020 --> 00:14:50,770
Oh gosh.
425
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:54,830
I honestly don't remember.
426
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:55,790
They were just like,
427
00:14:56,090 --> 00:14:57,650
okay. Normal shoes,
428
00:14:58,070 --> 00:14:59,660
nothing special about them.
429
00:14:59,660 --> 00:15:01,670
Nothing bad about them.
430
00:15:01,910 --> 00:15:04,670
They were just your average shoe that I remember.
431
00:15:06,110 --> 00:15:07,520
What did your parents talk about?
432
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,380
Like when it came to like buying things like school shoes?
433
00:15:12,770 --> 00:15:14,990
Well, I remember my grandma.
434
00:15:15,050 --> 00:15:19,250
I don't remember my parents really ever buying school shoes or
435
00:15:19,820 --> 00:15:20,900
I wasn't with them,
436
00:15:21,770 --> 00:15:25,340
but I remember my grandma would take us school shopping before
437
00:15:25,340 --> 00:15:28,220
school started each year and we'd go to,
438
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:28,760
oh gosh,
439
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,720
I forgot what it was called.
440
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,410
But it was like,
441
00:15:30,770 --> 00:15:31,130
you know,
442
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,230
department store back in the day,
443
00:15:33,230 --> 00:15:36,500
like a nice department store and she would buy us always
444
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:37,130
an outfit.
445
00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:38,420
And so that's,
446
00:15:38,510 --> 00:15:41,090
that's my remembrance of gosh,
447
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,630
school shopping for as long as,
448
00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:45,020
you know,
449
00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:47,480
at least elementary and middle school all through those years.
450
00:15:47,690 --> 00:15:49,550
And then when I was old enough for high school was
451
00:15:49,550 --> 00:15:50,720
here's some money to go shopping.
452
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,480
Yeah. And the reason why I ask that is that sometimes,
453
00:15:57,770 --> 00:15:59,540
and I try and keep it pretty open just to say
454
00:15:59,540 --> 00:16:00,440
to them about school shoes,
455
00:16:00,770 --> 00:16:07,700
because for some people they immediately remember different things.
456
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:09,080
So, so for some people they say,
457
00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:12,590
oh, well this kid had this and I had this.
458
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,950
And so they start to remember the first time they remember
459
00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:19,700
contrast coming up about what they wanted.
460
00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:20,930
And so some people might say,
461
00:16:20,930 --> 00:16:23,990
well, I had the real geeky shoes or I really wanted
462
00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:25,880
the cool shoes or,
463
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:29,330
or I remember what a stress it was for my family
464
00:16:29,330 --> 00:16:29,690
every year.
465
00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:31,700
I was only allowed one pair of school shoes a year,
466
00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:32,930
something like that.
467
00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:36,530
But it's really interesting to start to look at what some
468
00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:39,350
of those stories that come up for you when you were
469
00:16:39,350 --> 00:16:40,730
first aware of money.
470
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:43,640
Yeah. Mine is definitely,
471
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:44,930
instead of shoes,
472
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,060
it was houses like that.
473
00:16:47,270 --> 00:16:52,280
I Remember Just going to other people's houses and always feeling
474
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,390
like, oh,
475
00:16:53,810 --> 00:16:54,920
this house is really nice,
476
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,120
but now looking back,
477
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:56,360
I'm like,
478
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:57,680
oh, that house was the same,
479
00:16:57,890 --> 00:17:00,200
same, whatever,
480
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:00,530
you know,
481
00:17:00,530 --> 00:17:02,180
like probably prices our house,
482
00:17:02,180 --> 00:17:02,900
actually our house.
483
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:04,250
Why did we even been a little bit nicer?
484
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:05,690
But in my childhood brain,
485
00:17:05,690 --> 00:17:06,140
it was like,
486
00:17:06,170 --> 00:17:07,490
oh, this one's really nice.
487
00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:08,750
This one must be expensive.
488
00:17:08,780 --> 00:17:09,830
Oh, this is a fancy house.
489
00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:11,060
Oh, I wish I lived here.
490
00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:14,540
Interesting. And you know,
491
00:17:15,230 --> 00:17:17,300
I never had a childhood of lack.
492
00:17:17,310 --> 00:17:18,230
So it wasn't like,
493
00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:18,590
you know,
494
00:17:18,590 --> 00:17:19,850
like you can look back and be like,
495
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,420
oh yeah,
496
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:20,690
you know,
497
00:17:20,690 --> 00:17:22,400
we struggled to put food on the table or this or
498
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,110
that. Like I had,
499
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:26,810
we had all the things,
500
00:17:27,410 --> 00:17:27,770
you know,
501
00:17:27,770 --> 00:17:32,030
and I don't remember any strong stories for my parents of
502
00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:33,290
like, no,
503
00:17:33,290 --> 00:17:34,130
we can't have that.
504
00:17:34,130 --> 00:17:36,350
Or we can't do this or that other than they did
505
00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:36,830
work really,
506
00:17:36,830 --> 00:17:37,490
really hard.
507
00:17:37,670 --> 00:17:39,440
So I still have that like,
508
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:40,760
oh God,
509
00:17:40,790 --> 00:17:41,810
I got to work hard.
510
00:17:42,050 --> 00:17:44,510
And it's hard for me to catch myself sometimes and be
511
00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:45,380
like, dude,
512
00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:47,750
we need to take a little break and it's okay to
513
00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:49,920
go sit on the back porch and read for 20 minutes.
514
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:51,810
Yeah, totally,
515
00:17:51,810 --> 00:17:53,190
totally. But even,
516
00:17:53,790 --> 00:17:54,030
you know,
517
00:17:54,030 --> 00:17:56,520
you saying that about the houses and things,
518
00:17:57,270 --> 00:18:00,840
what's really interesting about the work that I do is it's
519
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,830
not as simple as,
520
00:18:02,130 --> 00:18:03,000
oh, you grew up poor,
521
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,950
you've got scarcity books.
522
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,150
Oh, you grew up rich.
523
00:18:06,180 --> 00:18:06,440
You know,
524
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,100
whatever. It's really interesting what our brains create,
525
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:15,390
but also what stories families have around money because some people
526
00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:18,300
grew up like in a very middle class kind of way.
527
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,640
But depending on how their parents talked about money,
528
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,440
they felt like they were poor or they felt like they
529
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,100
were rich.
530
00:18:24,750 --> 00:18:27,390
It could have been that their parents always talked about money
531
00:18:27,390 --> 00:18:29,910
in such a way that they felt like they were one,
532
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:32,760
one week away from being kicked out on the street that
533
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,280
then they found out later that they found that parents were
534
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:36,450
actually really well off.
535
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,420
That would just extremely frugal and fearful about money.
536
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,640
Similarly, I've heard from people who grew up,
537
00:18:41,670 --> 00:18:44,400
like they didn't realize that their family didn't have a lot
538
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,310
of money because just the way that their family kind of
539
00:18:47,310 --> 00:18:52,110
shielded them from money conversations or they were very optimistic themselves
540
00:18:52,140 --> 00:18:53,640
or everything's going to work out great.
541
00:18:53,670 --> 00:18:54,450
Easy come easy,
542
00:18:54,450 --> 00:18:55,530
go. Like you said.
543
00:18:55,950 --> 00:18:58,500
And so it's really fascinating to start looking at your own
544
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:03,510
stories, your own memories around money and what that is showing
545
00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:04,410
up for you today.
546
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:05,580
And I'll give you an example.
547
00:19:05,970 --> 00:19:07,860
You might've heard growing up,
548
00:19:08,220 --> 00:19:08,430
you know,
549
00:19:08,430 --> 00:19:10,440
it's impolite to talk about money,
550
00:19:11,310 --> 00:19:12,540
which is a really common thing.
551
00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:14,970
Right? It's you would even think that that's not even that
552
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,310
like damaging or anything.
553
00:19:17,310 --> 00:19:18,990
It's just that it's impolite to talk about money.
554
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,090
And they might've even said it in a really nice way
555
00:19:21,090 --> 00:19:21,510
of like,
556
00:19:21,630 --> 00:19:21,870
you know,
557
00:19:21,870 --> 00:19:23,550
you never asked someone how much they weigh.
558
00:19:23,550 --> 00:19:25,800
You never asked someone how much they are in,
559
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,010
you know,
560
00:19:26,010 --> 00:19:27,780
it's just impolite conversation.
561
00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:29,460
We want to keep things nice and you know,
562
00:19:29,730 --> 00:19:33,780
even, but then that might've created a story in people where
563
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,240
they don't want to set prices,
564
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:37,500
display prices,
565
00:19:37,740 --> 00:19:43,080
tell clients how much things cost really like get really wishy-washy
566
00:19:43,110 --> 00:19:45,930
when it comes to client inquiries,
567
00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:48,960
hight, invoicing hate chasing up payments,
568
00:19:50,010 --> 00:19:55,020
hate doing upsells Because it's so impolite to talk about money.
569
00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:57,590
And it's just you,
570
00:19:57,630 --> 00:19:59,880
it could be just so invisible to you.
571
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:02,310
It's not like it's on a family shield.
572
00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:03,450
It's not like people have been,
573
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:04,050
you know,
574
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,330
painted it on the wall in your family house,
575
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,840
but it's still a rule regardless.
576
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,030
You might have a family story of resilience and you know,
577
00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:17,700
we're independent and we're tough and we're hard working.
578
00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:20,280
And then when it comes to your business,
579
00:20:20,670 --> 00:20:23,460
you might really struggle to outsource,
580
00:20:23,610 --> 00:20:23,820
you know,
581
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:25,680
you're doing everything yourself.
582
00:20:26,370 --> 00:20:29,370
You might really height things like the editing that you don't
583
00:20:29,370 --> 00:20:30,930
want to outsource it because you have to do it all
584
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:32,070
yourself. You,
585
00:20:32,260 --> 00:20:33,720
you feel your time.
586
00:20:33,810 --> 00:20:35,520
You feel guilty taking time off,
587
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:35,670
you know,
588
00:20:35,670 --> 00:20:36,660
it could be things like that.
589
00:20:37,170 --> 00:20:40,680
And so you have to look at the official and unofficial
590
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,210
mottoes of your family.
591
00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:44,190
Mine was an,
592
00:20:44,190 --> 00:20:45,480
I, they used to say this to me all the time.
593
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,560
It's, it's nice to important,
594
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,000
but it's important to be nice.
595
00:20:50,140 --> 00:20:51,700
And I it's really lovely,
596
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:52,600
but my grandmother,
597
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:52,780
you know,
598
00:20:52,780 --> 00:20:54,820
she was a very kind of soft kind of woman.
599
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:56,590
And so I actually thought,
600
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,720
because I was quite outspoken that I was like,
601
00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:02,350
I'm just not,
602
00:21:02,350 --> 00:21:03,910
uplight nice person.
603
00:21:04,540 --> 00:21:05,050
And it's,
604
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:05,350
you know,
605
00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:06,640
I'm kind of a bitch.
606
00:21:07,090 --> 00:21:07,990
And if,
607
00:21:08,380 --> 00:21:08,560
you know,
608
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,080
I have to be like likable and I have to,
609
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:11,380
you know,
610
00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:15,160
be always thinking about like how I'm coming off as being
611
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,540
down to earth and things like that.
612
00:21:17,170 --> 00:21:18,940
And so all of those little stories,
613
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:23,020
they don't have to be traumatic for you to get information
614
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:23,860
out of them,
615
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,060
but it could even be something I remember one person said,
616
00:21:28,090 --> 00:21:28,810
oh my God.
617
00:21:28,810 --> 00:21:31,240
I remember when I was like 16.
618
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,650
I said to my dad,
619
00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:34,420
I wanted to be an artist.
620
00:21:34,420 --> 00:21:34,870
And he said,
621
00:21:35,170 --> 00:21:35,770
well, that's fine,
622
00:21:35,770 --> 00:21:37,270
but you'll never make a cent from it.
623
00:21:38,110 --> 00:21:38,860
And it's almost,
624
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:41,140
then that became her Mo her motto.
625
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,430
Right. Right.
626
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,980
Exactly. Yeah.
627
00:21:45,010 --> 00:21:48,430
Like so many times like a teacher even said,
628
00:21:48,430 --> 00:21:50,080
well, I remember this actually for my,
629
00:21:50,500 --> 00:21:51,580
well, for me,
630
00:21:52,390 --> 00:21:53,410
I remember.
631
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:54,340
And I still,
632
00:21:54,340 --> 00:21:55,840
like, I don't even remember what teacher this is,
633
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,490
but I wanna like hunt them down and be like,
634
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,580
look, there are fences on the side of highways.
635
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:02,110
I remember saying at some point,
636
00:22:02,110 --> 00:22:04,960
like you're driving on the highway that there's fences along the
637
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,150
side to keep like the deer and stuff from the road
638
00:22:07,150 --> 00:22:07,690
that there's,
639
00:22:07,710 --> 00:22:08,170
there's just,
640
00:22:08,230 --> 00:22:09,430
there's often fences.
641
00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:09,820
And they're like,
642
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:10,480
no, no,
643
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:10,990
there's not like,
644
00:22:10,990 --> 00:22:12,250
man. I was like second grade.
645
00:22:12,460 --> 00:22:12,700
They're like,
646
00:22:12,730 --> 00:22:14,830
no. And still to this day,
647
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,000
I'm trying it on the highway.
648
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:16,480
And I'm like,
649
00:22:17,410 --> 00:22:18,670
there's another freaking fence.
650
00:22:19,150 --> 00:22:20,440
Oh, that's hilarious.
651
00:22:20,590 --> 00:22:21,700
I didn't really get that.
652
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:22,360
That's so funny.
653
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:22,690
You're like,
654
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:25,900
And it,
655
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:26,620
when these kids,
656
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:30,070
like you say something just like two kids and they just
657
00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:32,020
take it as gospel.
658
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:32,230
I mean,
659
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:33,130
I remember I,
660
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,010
my previous career before I became a pet photographer was a
661
00:22:36,010 --> 00:22:37,270
zoological animal trainer.
662
00:22:37,630 --> 00:22:39,160
And my daughter,
663
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:40,690
I think in kindergarten,
664
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,410
went in,
665
00:22:41,420 --> 00:22:42,700
I forget what it was,
666
00:22:42,700 --> 00:22:45,250
but she said something that was just like that her teacher
667
00:22:45,250 --> 00:22:48,400
said that was just not accurate as far as like natural
668
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,240
history of animals.
669
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:49,660
So I'm like,
670
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:51,790
no, those two animals are separate animals,
671
00:22:51,790 --> 00:22:52,570
whatever it was.
672
00:22:52,930 --> 00:22:53,440
But she's like,
673
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,430
no, no.
674
00:22:54,430 --> 00:22:55,270
The teacher said,
675
00:22:55,330 --> 00:22:55,720
I'm like,
676
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:59,440
oh, I know more than the teacher in this particular case,
677
00:23:00,370 --> 00:23:01,510
he just wanted to leave me.
678
00:23:01,660 --> 00:23:02,650
But it shows right.
679
00:23:02,650 --> 00:23:07,570
It's not just your upbringing as in your immediate family.
680
00:23:07,570 --> 00:23:09,310
It's, it's your friends,
681
00:23:09,370 --> 00:23:10,750
it's your teachers.
682
00:23:10,810 --> 00:23:12,460
It's society,
683
00:23:12,460 --> 00:23:13,450
it's TV.
684
00:23:13,450 --> 00:23:18,580
It's all of those things combined that create our own individual
685
00:23:18,580 --> 00:23:20,110
story about money.
686
00:23:20,110 --> 00:23:21,580
And it is very messy.
687
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:26,440
And I always do the analogy of excavating excavating that work
688
00:23:26,770 --> 00:23:28,000
because that's,
689
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,560
I'm probably not using the right word.
690
00:23:29,950 --> 00:23:30,370
The, you know,
691
00:23:30,540 --> 00:23:31,240
the Strada,
692
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,380
is that the word where it's like,
693
00:23:32,380 --> 00:23:34,990
when you look at a slice of like a mountain or
694
00:23:34,990 --> 00:23:35,500
something like that,
695
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,170
but that's sometimes that's built up over like centuries,
696
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:45,260
right? So our money beliefs have been built up like a
697
00:23:45,260 --> 00:23:49,670
day at a time incident at a time repetition over time.
698
00:23:49,670 --> 00:23:52,430
And it can be very dense and hard for us to
699
00:23:52,430 --> 00:23:53,060
even see.
700
00:23:53,450 --> 00:23:55,670
And so the work that I do is like chipping away
701
00:23:55,670 --> 00:23:56,480
at some of those things.
702
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,680
And sometimes you,
703
00:23:57,730 --> 00:23:59,330
you find this nugget and you go,
704
00:23:59,420 --> 00:24:00,080
oh my God,
705
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,610
this is why I can't do the thing,
706
00:24:02,450 --> 00:24:03,350
the one thing.
707
00:24:03,350 --> 00:24:04,910
But then other times it's,
708
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,940
it's just the layers on layers of it,
709
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,820
of the repetition of even.
710
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:11,780
And I,
711
00:24:11,790 --> 00:24:12,440
this is my job.
712
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,180
Right. I love finding the nuances.
713
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,500
Right. I love it.
714
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:15,710
Love it,
715
00:24:15,710 --> 00:24:15,980
love it.
716
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,080
So I started to go really top-line.
717
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,110
So when I started interviewing different profession groups,
718
00:24:21,530 --> 00:24:22,940
because I wanted to hear the,
719
00:24:22,970 --> 00:24:24,440
the commonalities in,
720
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,420
what were you taught even in your training,
721
00:24:26,990 --> 00:24:27,200
you know,
722
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,020
and a lot of like people in the natural health world,
723
00:24:30,020 --> 00:24:30,440
for example,
724
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,640
like people who had natural paths,
725
00:24:32,090 --> 00:24:33,650
they explicitly told in training,
726
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,630
I hope you're not going into this to make money.
727
00:24:36,230 --> 00:24:36,800
Oh, wow.
728
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,530
Yeah. Like he better be going to this for the right
729
00:24:39,530 --> 00:24:40,250
reason. Right.
730
00:24:40,910 --> 00:24:43,400
So I started bringing together those industry groups just to say,
731
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,020
like, what's the flavor of your industry.
732
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:49,280
I remember I hired someone to come and teach me ukulele
733
00:24:50,330 --> 00:24:50,660
to make,
734
00:24:50,690 --> 00:24:51,020
I thought,
735
00:24:51,020 --> 00:24:53,060
when this be a fun time to learn the PA the
736
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:54,350
ukulele and the pandemic.
737
00:24:56,900 --> 00:25:00,170
Anyway, I started doing some zoom sessions because of the pandemic.
738
00:25:00,620 --> 00:25:01,310
And I,
739
00:25:01,610 --> 00:25:02,390
at the end of one of them,
740
00:25:02,390 --> 00:25:02,690
I said,
741
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,080
oh, look,
742
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,460
I hope I never do this,
743
00:25:04,460 --> 00:25:05,480
but I just wanted to say,
744
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,610
I really think you could up your prices a little bit.
745
00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:08,360
I said,
746
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,910
I think your prices are just like really low for,
747
00:25:10,910 --> 00:25:11,300
you know,
748
00:25:11,630 --> 00:25:12,020
and he said,
749
00:25:12,020 --> 00:25:14,210
well, there's one guy in town.
750
00:25:14,210 --> 00:25:18,020
And he like teaches all of us how to teach ukulele.
751
00:25:18,020 --> 00:25:19,580
And he kind of sets the prices.
752
00:25:21,110 --> 00:25:21,710
And so it's just,
753
00:25:21,710 --> 00:25:22,580
this made up thing.
754
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:23,090
And I was like,
755
00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:26,360
this guy might have been in the industry for decades and
756
00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,250
decades. Maybe he's even paid off his house.
757
00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:28,820
And so for him,
758
00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:29,240
he's just like,
759
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,660
well, this is just a fun way of making me.
760
00:25:31,340 --> 00:25:34,310
But yet all of his students are capping their prices on
761
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:34,670
a price.
762
00:25:34,740 --> 00:25:36,260
He probably said 30 years ago,
763
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:37,850
right? Yes.
764
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,900
So there's those things.
765
00:25:38,900 --> 00:25:43,490
But then this is really fun to bring together country groups
766
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,540
or cultural groups.
767
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,970
So I pulled together some of my English clients and I
768
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:50,300
was like,
769
00:25:50,330 --> 00:25:54,260
okay, let's talk about like the stereotypical English values,
770
00:25:54,260 --> 00:25:55,760
because of course they're in nuances.
771
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,200
I'm not saying you're all the same.
772
00:25:57,350 --> 00:25:58,220
Right? You live,
773
00:25:58,460 --> 00:26:01,100
you live in a country that has this flavor.
774
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:01,970
And so again,
775
00:26:01,970 --> 00:26:03,470
sometimes it's about the contrast,
776
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:05,300
right? Of what you're told,
777
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:06,620
you have to believe in how,
778
00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:08,090
how much you deviate from it.
779
00:26:08,450 --> 00:26:09,920
That's why we talk about the generalities.
780
00:26:10,550 --> 00:26:11,000
And I said,
781
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,490
well, one of the British values that I think is a
782
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:15,830
outsider is you guys love to cue.
783
00:26:16,610 --> 00:26:18,770
You like to stand in lines and you like to take
784
00:26:18,770 --> 00:26:19,280
your turn.
785
00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:19,820
So I was like,
786
00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:20,810
let's talk about this.
787
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:23,810
How is this showing up for you in your business today?
788
00:26:23,810 --> 00:26:24,800
And so some of them are like,
789
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,050
well, I can't succeed.
790
00:26:27,050 --> 00:26:31,580
Unless my brother succeeds first he's ahead of me in the
791
00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:34,250
queue. I can't make more than my mentors.
792
00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:35,660
I can't make more than my teachers.
793
00:26:35,660 --> 00:26:37,880
I can't make more than my friends who started in the
794
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,140
industry year before me.
795
00:26:39,260 --> 00:26:40,370
I have to wait my turn.
796
00:26:40,940 --> 00:26:41,690
And then of course,
797
00:26:41,690 --> 00:26:44,160
if you have that waiting my turn mentality,
798
00:26:44,430 --> 00:26:46,380
you're not going to put yourself forward for things.
799
00:26:46,380 --> 00:26:48,060
You're going to wait for people to come to you and
800
00:26:48,060 --> 00:26:49,440
say your numbers up,
801
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,570
Right. Please come to the counter.
802
00:26:52,050 --> 00:26:55,080
And so we can learn something for all of those things.
803
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,030
And then if we looked at the UK and break it
804
00:26:57,030 --> 00:26:57,810
down into cities,
805
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,600
sometimes cities have a particular culture.
806
00:27:01,230 --> 00:27:02,280
Sometimes they have,
807
00:27:02,700 --> 00:27:02,940
I mean,
808
00:27:02,940 --> 00:27:04,410
they have a motto often,
809
00:27:04,740 --> 00:27:05,700
but it's like,
810
00:27:05,700 --> 00:27:08,610
what's the story of the place you grew up in?
811
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,360
Is it a story of resilience and hard work?
812
00:27:12,660 --> 00:27:16,350
Is it a story of feast or famine is a story
813
00:27:16,350 --> 00:27:19,590
of scarcity is a story of creativity and abundance.
814
00:27:19,590 --> 00:27:21,870
And we appreciate artists in This,
815
00:27:22,410 --> 00:27:23,100
In this environment.
816
00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:27,330
So all of those things become your Strat up.
817
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,070
Someone's going to write,
818
00:27:29,970 --> 00:27:30,810
Right. At least,
819
00:27:30,810 --> 00:27:31,110
you know,
820
00:27:31,410 --> 00:27:32,520
I'm going to tell me Like,
821
00:27:33,130 --> 00:27:33,540
you're in,
822
00:27:33,570 --> 00:27:35,130
you live in North Carolina.
823
00:27:35,130 --> 00:27:35,550
I do.
824
00:27:35,550 --> 00:27:37,560
But I grew up in Pittsburgh.
825
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,030
I grew up the story Of Pittsburgh.
826
00:27:39,030 --> 00:27:41,880
Is that well Interesting that you're saying this,
827
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,440
it was a steel town,
828
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,140
like from world war II on where it was like all
829
00:27:46,140 --> 00:27:49,440
the steel for like all of world war II was basically
830
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,510
made in Pittsburgh and huge,
831
00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:51,720
you know,
832
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,280
the Carnegies and free,
833
00:27:53,310 --> 00:27:55,050
like all the huge,
834
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,420
like early century money was all created in Pittsburgh,
835
00:27:57,450 --> 00:27:58,860
out of the steel industry.
836
00:27:58,980 --> 00:28:01,800
And then it all went away in the late seventies,
837
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,600
early eighties still is this like hard work,
838
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,220
hard work up gone,
839
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:10,590
which I'm like,
840
00:28:10,620 --> 00:28:11,580
oh, wow,
841
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:14,670
that really mirrors my stories,
842
00:28:14,670 --> 00:28:15,540
which is crazy.
843
00:28:17,010 --> 00:28:20,580
Again, it might be on a shield at the town hall.
844
00:28:20,730 --> 00:28:22,050
Right. But it seemed better at,
845
00:28:22,050 --> 00:28:25,530
in the school system it's embedded in,
846
00:28:25,980 --> 00:28:26,190
you know,
847
00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:28,950
who gets rewarded for different things.
848
00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:30,090
It's embedded in,
849
00:28:30,540 --> 00:28:31,550
in so many different ways.
850
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:32,730
The sporting team,
851
00:28:32,730 --> 00:28:32,970
you know,
852
00:28:33,060 --> 00:28:34,920
are you a city that goes for the roots for the
853
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,310
underdog or you're a city that always wins?
854
00:28:38,490 --> 00:28:38,730
You know?
855
00:28:38,940 --> 00:28:39,150
I mean,
856
00:28:39,210 --> 00:28:40,350
I grew up,
857
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:41,940
I grew up in Sydney,
858
00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:43,560
but I live in a,
859
00:28:44,130 --> 00:28:45,150
in a coal town.
860
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,540
Yeah. And it used to be a steel town.
861
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,400
Okay. So there's this real,
862
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:57,060
like a gala Tarion working class mentality here where I remember
863
00:28:57,060 --> 00:29:01,320
there was like a guy who became a billionaire locally from,
864
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:02,310
from coal mining.
865
00:29:02,310 --> 00:29:05,670
But he bought like this Lamborghini and people are like,
866
00:29:06,630 --> 00:29:12,210
because it's just not done in this town to really showcase
867
00:29:12,660 --> 00:29:13,740
wealth through things like that.
868
00:29:13,740 --> 00:29:15,390
People might have really nice houses,
869
00:29:15,390 --> 00:29:17,580
but everyone's at the beach everyone's wearing,
870
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:18,000
you know,
871
00:29:18,270 --> 00:29:19,890
board shorts and flip flops.
872
00:29:19,980 --> 00:29:21,150
And you know,
873
00:29:21,150 --> 00:29:26,010
you don't really want to like have that ostentatious kind of
874
00:29:26,130 --> 00:29:27,090
display of wealth.
875
00:29:28,050 --> 00:29:30,570
And so I did the same with Australians.
876
00:29:30,630 --> 00:29:30,960
I was like,
877
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,300
okay, let's talk about Australian values.
878
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,610
It's all about mateship and being a Galatarian and you know,
879
00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:39,870
and so then how did,
880
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:40,860
and which is all great.
881
00:29:40,890 --> 00:29:41,830
There's nothing wrong with that.
882
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:42,820
But then it was like,
883
00:29:42,820 --> 00:29:44,170
well, what's the story around that?
884
00:29:44,170 --> 00:29:44,800
And for me,
885
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:48,850
I remember thinking I can't charge Australians.
886
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,110
So that's why I set my business up to be American
887
00:29:53,110 --> 00:29:53,500
because I was like,
888
00:29:53,530 --> 00:29:54,790
I can charge Americans,
889
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,940
charge my mates,
890
00:29:58,630 --> 00:29:59,710
charge of Australians.
891
00:29:59,950 --> 00:30:03,610
And then I realized I was also including New Zealand in
892
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,700
Australia. My circle of mateship just got bigger and bigger.
893
00:30:06,700 --> 00:30:08,080
And then I was like,
894
00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:10,870
well, I'm married to a British guy.
895
00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:11,620
I've lived in England.
896
00:30:11,620 --> 00:30:13,930
Like basically my cousins.
897
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,470
And then I was like,
898
00:30:14,500 --> 00:30:16,300
Irish people are kind of Scottish people.
899
00:30:16,570 --> 00:30:19,480
And I was just in just expanding the group of people
900
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,920
that I wasn't allowed to touch.
901
00:30:23,410 --> 00:30:25,150
And so that's something too,
902
00:30:25,150 --> 00:30:28,330
if you grew up in like a real fairness culture or,
903
00:30:29,140 --> 00:30:29,410
you know,
904
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,250
then you might think,
905
00:30:30,250 --> 00:30:30,760
well, it's not,
906
00:30:30,970 --> 00:30:34,420
it's not fair to charge this particular type of person.
907
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,860
And so in your injury,
908
00:30:35,890 --> 00:30:36,490
it might be well,
909
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,280
ah, I can't charge the dog with three legs,
910
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,090
full price.
911
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:40,960
I have to play,
912
00:30:41,470 --> 00:30:42,160
come on.
913
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:42,820
I can't do that.
914
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:43,690
Or, oh,
915
00:30:43,690 --> 00:30:47,020
I can't judge single moms or I can't charge whatever.
916
00:30:47,230 --> 00:30:50,080
And that doesn't mean people are never allowed to discount and
917
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,520
be generous for sure.
918
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:55,660
It's just watch where those stories of fairness start to come
919
00:30:55,660 --> 00:30:57,490
in and to be your detriment.
920
00:30:58,180 --> 00:30:58,960
Here's another layer.
921
00:30:58,960 --> 00:30:59,710
Sorry, Nicole.
922
00:30:59,950 --> 00:31:05,440
I just get so excited About this Birth order Or whatever.
923
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,480
Right? So I'm the oldest.
924
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:10,180
I feel responsible for everyone and everything.
925
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:12,970
Everything's my responsibility to sort out.
926
00:31:13,690 --> 00:31:14,680
And so I was like,
927
00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:16,480
I'll work with anyone on anything.
928
00:31:16,930 --> 00:31:17,680
Throw me a problem.
929
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:18,700
Also look for you.
930
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,570
No problem.
931
00:31:19,990 --> 00:31:21,880
Middle children can be,
932
00:31:21,940 --> 00:31:24,280
they can be the fairness ones of going.
933
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,030
It's not fair,
934
00:31:25,300 --> 00:31:26,950
making sure that everyone's taken care of.
935
00:31:27,490 --> 00:31:30,010
And then I see sometimes babies of the family,
936
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:31,480
they almost their,
937
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:34,420
well, I can't charge no one's going to take me seriously
938
00:31:34,540 --> 00:31:36,760
because they're 30 years old and they still have to sit
939
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,290
at the kid's table at Thanksgiving.
940
00:31:39,170 --> 00:31:41,700
Right, right.
941
00:31:43,220 --> 00:31:44,960
Again, I'm not people listening.
942
00:31:44,990 --> 00:31:45,890
No, that's not my experience.
943
00:31:46,130 --> 00:31:48,800
It's just looking at the stories.
944
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:54,290
Right. And finding those little nuances for yourself to go hang
945
00:31:54,290 --> 00:31:57,980
on. Why do I feel like I can't charge people this
946
00:31:57,980 --> 00:31:59,360
so many reasons,
947
00:31:59,360 --> 00:31:59,990
your upbringing,
948
00:31:59,990 --> 00:32:00,740
what you throw on TV.
949
00:32:00,740 --> 00:32:01,220
As I said,
950
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:02,960
you both thought what,
951
00:32:03,230 --> 00:32:03,710
you know,
952
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:07,460
those unofficial mottoes that you're living by again and again.
953
00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:08,720
That's really interesting.
954
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,390
It's interesting that you mentioned to the UK because a lot
955
00:32:11,390 --> 00:32:17,390
of my UK students are just convinced that no one in
956
00:32:17,390 --> 00:32:20,360
the UK will pay a thousand pounds for dog photography.
957
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,270
That this is only an American thing that only Americans can
958
00:32:23,270 --> 00:32:27,140
sell dog photography that doesn't work in the UK and it's
959
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,140
getting a new appreciation for it.
960
00:32:30,830 --> 00:32:32,360
Well, I know I hear this a lot too,
961
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,290
right. Which is why so many of British people,
962
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:38,960
they go and buy from Americans and they go and buy
963
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:42,200
Australians because other English people are not offering things,
964
00:32:42,740 --> 00:32:46,670
right. That's why they fly to America and go to a
965
00:32:46,670 --> 00:32:50,180
conference and go to things because there's not,
966
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,930
I actually met someone who is a coach in England for
967
00:32:53,930 --> 00:32:55,130
the dance industry.
968
00:32:55,820 --> 00:32:56,750
So similar to what you do,
969
00:32:56,750 --> 00:32:57,080
but for,
970
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,100
for dance teachers.
971
00:32:58,460 --> 00:32:59,090
And she was saying,
972
00:32:59,090 --> 00:32:59,270
you know,
973
00:32:59,270 --> 00:33:00,470
there's like 80,000
974
00:33:00,470 --> 00:33:04,730
coaches in the UK and there's only three that specialize in
975
00:33:04,970 --> 00:33:05,840
the dance world.
976
00:33:06,350 --> 00:33:11,300
And so I see those things as massive opportunities because everyone
977
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:12,350
is obsessed with their dogs.
978
00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:14,750
British people are obsessed with their dogs.
979
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:18,560
They invented the whole dog show industry,
980
00:33:19,730 --> 00:33:21,560
right. They,
981
00:33:22,370 --> 00:33:22,820
oh God,
982
00:33:22,820 --> 00:33:23,990
go to a British art gallery.
983
00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:26,030
See how many pictures of dogs,
984
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:27,440
paintings, and dogs there are.
985
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,370
So that's,
986
00:33:28,790 --> 00:33:34,160
that's either inaccurate or a massive opportunity to be an early
987
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,810
adopter and to set the pace of,
988
00:33:36,810 --> 00:33:37,760
of what that means.
989
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,890
And I actually really like that,
990
00:33:40,010 --> 00:33:40,310
you know,
991
00:33:40,340 --> 00:33:40,970
in Australia,
992
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:41,810
I often look at,
993
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:43,010
see what's happening in America.
994
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,840
Cause I know that will filter down to us in about
995
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,440
three years,
996
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:48,220
sometimes quicker now obviously,
997
00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:49,430
but you know,
998
00:33:49,430 --> 00:33:50,300
your British clients,
999
00:33:50,330 --> 00:33:52,190
anyone can have that opportunity to go,
1000
00:33:52,190 --> 00:33:53,450
well, I mean,
1001
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,710
what's coming up and what's new.
1002
00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:57,080
You remember when people in the kid photography world,
1003
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,240
when the cake smash thing,
1004
00:33:59,690 --> 00:34:01,010
right. Was really cool.
1005
00:34:01,130 --> 00:34:01,490
It's like,
1006
00:34:01,490 --> 00:34:02,060
well, what's the,
1007
00:34:02,150 --> 00:34:04,310
what's the next version for you and your dogs?
1008
00:34:04,370 --> 00:34:04,850
You know,
1009
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,180
just why not create some cool stuff.
1010
00:34:08,210 --> 00:34:11,030
And so I shared this before we hit record,
1011
00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:16,160
but I had a family photo shoot recently because my mother-in-law
1012
00:34:16,190 --> 00:34:17,240
was here from England.
1013
00:34:17,660 --> 00:34:20,360
And so we try and capture photos because we don't see
1014
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,290
each other very often.
1015
00:34:21,290 --> 00:34:24,230
So it's just such a precious thing to be able to
1016
00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:24,620
do that.
1017
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:28,700
And the kids were playing up so much as they do.
1018
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:29,510
Right. They're just like,
1019
00:34:29,540 --> 00:34:30,860
I don't want to be in the photo.
1020
00:34:30,860 --> 00:34:32,210
They're making silly faces.
1021
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:33,320
So I just went,
1022
00:34:33,500 --> 00:34:35,060
oh, can we just go and take pictures of me and
1023
00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:35,720
my dogs?
1024
00:34:36,650 --> 00:34:40,370
And so I ended up with like 30 pictures of me
1025
00:34:40,700 --> 00:34:43,040
and my dogs and I'm so thrilled.
1026
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,730
And I don't think I have a ton of pet photographers
1027
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:47,480
in my,
1028
00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:48,260
in my town.
1029
00:34:48,260 --> 00:34:50,390
Right. So I'm like,
1030
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,240
there are people who are so obsessed with their dogs,
1031
00:34:53,450 --> 00:34:53,720
you know,
1032
00:34:53,720 --> 00:34:54,620
I've bought them,
1033
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,080
it's starting to be winter in Australia.
1034
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,430
So they've got jackets.
1035
00:34:59,390 --> 00:35:01,010
Same as my kids jumpers.
1036
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:03,350
Like, you know,
1037
00:35:03,380 --> 00:35:04,250
especially when someone's,
1038
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,770
when someone gets a puppy for the first time you buying
1039
00:35:06,770 --> 00:35:07,550
a brand new bed,
1040
00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:10,700
every like three days realize that they're going to destroy them,
1041
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:13,700
their little house for my dog recently,
1042
00:35:13,730 --> 00:35:14,750
I'm always,
1043
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:18,260
I spend so much money on my pets and it's like,
1044
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,870
we think we can win knowledge.
1045
00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:25,040
It's literally one of the least price sensitive industries out there
1046
00:35:25,340 --> 00:35:28,280
because people are obsessed with their dogs.
1047
00:35:28,820 --> 00:35:32,240
And I think it's actually a really beautiful way to educate
1048
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:33,710
your clients of saying like,
1049
00:35:34,250 --> 00:35:34,640
you know,
1050
00:35:34,820 --> 00:35:37,650
capture these moments with your precious,
1051
00:35:37,650 --> 00:35:39,270
beautiful dogs,
1052
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:42,240
because they're not around forever.
1053
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:43,830
Right. You know,
1054
00:35:43,830 --> 00:35:44,640
and you just,
1055
00:35:44,670 --> 00:35:47,280
you just never know when something could happen to one of
1056
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:47,820
your pets.
1057
00:35:47,850 --> 00:35:51,120
And I would be devastated if I didn't have beautiful photos
1058
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,000
of them to remember them by one of my friends and
1059
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,280
clients, she makes jewelry with people's ashes in them and things
1060
00:35:59,280 --> 00:35:59,760
like that.
1061
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,750
And she started doing the same for people's pets,
1062
00:36:04,500 --> 00:36:04,740
you know,
1063
00:36:04,740 --> 00:36:07,800
because people will buy a diamond ring,
1064
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,460
a pendant,
1065
00:36:09,390 --> 00:36:09,630
you know,
1066
00:36:09,630 --> 00:36:11,790
a little statue with their ashes in it,
1067
00:36:11,790 --> 00:36:12,840
for their dogs,
1068
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,430
as much as they would for their humans.
1069
00:36:14,460 --> 00:36:14,700
You know?
1070
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:15,000
And it's,
1071
00:36:15,330 --> 00:36:18,750
it's a real acknowledgement that pets are family members.
1072
00:36:19,410 --> 00:36:23,430
And so don't discount yourself that don't discount the value that
1073
00:36:23,430 --> 00:36:24,720
your clients put on,
1074
00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:26,460
on their family members.
1075
00:36:26,670 --> 00:36:27,720
Yeah. Yeah.
1076
00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:28,380
Well set,
1077
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:30,570
you guys heard here,
1078
00:36:30,570 --> 00:36:31,440
I sweat didn't he said,
1079
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,970
so go out there and charge can do it Exactly.
1080
00:36:35,970 --> 00:36:37,230
I'm yeah,
1081
00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:38,280
totally obsessed.
1082
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:39,210
And by the way,
1083
00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:40,500
I, if you,
1084
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:41,400
you know,
1085
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,060
add photos and videos to stock photography websites,
1086
00:36:45,540 --> 00:36:46,830
I'm trying to do that at the moment.
1087
00:36:46,830 --> 00:36:50,280
I'm trying to find stock photography and it's so hard to
1088
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:56,400
find good pictures of people with their pets and submit videos.
1089
00:36:56,430 --> 00:36:57,450
And by the way,
1090
00:36:57,690 --> 00:36:59,430
because if there are any,
1091
00:37:00,060 --> 00:37:01,950
they're all fairly the same and I'm like,
1092
00:37:02,130 --> 00:37:03,960
well, where are the,
1093
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,470
like people with disabilities and their pets working.
1094
00:37:07,530 --> 00:37:08,640
And, you know,
1095
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,070
I want to see the office cats and the office dogs
1096
00:37:11,070 --> 00:37:11,880
and things like that,
1097
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,730
to be able to put into my videos and things,
1098
00:37:14,730 --> 00:37:16,500
because that's who my clients are.
1099
00:37:16,890 --> 00:37:17,850
Right. You know,
1100
00:37:17,850 --> 00:37:18,480
and there's just,
1101
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,550
there's not that diversity there.
1102
00:37:21,240 --> 00:37:21,930
So, you know,
1103
00:37:21,930 --> 00:37:25,740
that's another opportunity as well is to showcase all the beautiful
1104
00:37:25,950 --> 00:37:27,690
diversity of pet owners.
1105
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,210
Yeah. Yeah.
1106
00:37:30,270 --> 00:37:31,470
Opportunity is everywhere.
1107
00:37:31,470 --> 00:37:32,220
That's for sure.
1108
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:33,840
Oh, absolutely.
1109
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:34,500
And you know,
1110
00:37:34,500 --> 00:37:37,470
even thinking of all the different breeds that people get absolutely
1111
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,730
obsessed over,
1112
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:39,720
you know,
1113
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:40,530
and it's like,
1114
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:41,370
you know,
1115
00:37:41,370 --> 00:37:43,290
when my kids always like,
1116
00:37:43,350 --> 00:37:45,540
oh my name's not on the Willis,
1117
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:45,780
you know,
1118
00:37:45,780 --> 00:37:46,620
the hairbrushes,
1119
00:37:46,620 --> 00:37:48,720
the personalized and things like that.
1120
00:37:48,990 --> 00:37:49,590
And I'm like,
1121
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,400
yeah, but there's not always convertibles when you see things too.
1122
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:53,700
I'm like,
1123
00:37:53,700 --> 00:37:58,020
where are the hurdles For doodles?
1124
00:37:58,020 --> 00:37:58,340
Where am I?
1125
00:37:59,520 --> 00:37:59,910
It's like,
1126
00:38:00,150 --> 00:38:01,530
it's, it's really,
1127
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:01,770
you know,
1128
00:38:01,770 --> 00:38:03,420
celebrating every,
1129
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,940
every type of client celebrating,
1130
00:38:06,570 --> 00:38:06,750
you know,
1131
00:38:06,750 --> 00:38:07,530
you really could,
1132
00:38:07,530 --> 00:38:08,280
if you wanted to,
1133
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,080
you could niche down and just go,
1134
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,600
I am the sausage dog photographer,
1135
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,840
or I'm like the pet wedding photographer,
1136
00:38:16,710 --> 00:38:16,920
you know,
1137
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,680
you can niche down because that's the beauty of the pit
1138
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,900
Petro. That's funny.
1139
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,900
Yeah. A lot of people do tend to not,
1140
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:26,280
I don't think they do it consciously,
1141
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,690
but they subconsciously start to become like a certain breed photographer
1142
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,350
because people that are really into their breeds will have other
1143
00:38:34,350 --> 00:38:36,070
friends that are into their breeds.
1144
00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:37,180
So all of a sudden you're like,
1145
00:38:37,210 --> 00:38:39,490
oh, I've photographed a lot of doxins oh,
1146
00:38:39,700 --> 00:38:42,670
I've got like four docs on my schedule over the next
1147
00:38:42,670 --> 00:38:43,330
couple of months.
1148
00:38:43,690 --> 00:38:44,350
It's pretty funny.
1149
00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:47,500
True. And even thinking about like the,
1150
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:48,550
the upsells,
1151
00:38:48,580 --> 00:38:48,850
you know,
1152
00:38:48,850 --> 00:38:51,850
and I I've seen this in photographers of all industries,
1153
00:38:51,850 --> 00:38:54,700
where there were over-delivers so much,
1154
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,000
you know,
1155
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:55,750
and it will be like,
1156
00:38:55,750 --> 00:38:56,260
instead of,
1157
00:38:56,740 --> 00:38:56,980
you know,
1158
00:38:56,980 --> 00:39:01,090
someone's paid for 20 photos and they'll give them 1200 edited
1159
00:39:01,090 --> 00:39:02,890
photos because they can't help themselves.
1160
00:39:03,250 --> 00:39:03,490
You know,
1161
00:39:03,490 --> 00:39:03,910
it's the,
1162
00:39:03,930 --> 00:39:06,400
it's watching those over-delivery moments.
1163
00:39:06,550 --> 00:39:07,510
But I find this with,
1164
00:39:08,860 --> 00:39:11,710
with photographers in their like entrepreneurial world.
1165
00:39:11,860 --> 00:39:16,690
Cause I get photos taken at least quarterly now just cause
1166
00:39:16,690 --> 00:39:19,330
I have a massive need for just new photos all the
1167
00:39:19,330 --> 00:39:23,740
time. But I used to not always get the upgrades because
1168
00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:26,740
they would make me look through a thousand photos and pick
1169
00:39:26,740 --> 00:39:27,550
which ones I wanted.
1170
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,230
And then my photographer,
1171
00:39:29,290 --> 00:39:30,100
she says,
1172
00:39:30,100 --> 00:39:30,610
it's, you know,
1173
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,930
X amount for the session,
1174
00:39:31,930 --> 00:39:33,130
you get X amount of photos.
1175
00:39:33,430 --> 00:39:34,030
And then she's like,
1176
00:39:34,060 --> 00:39:36,850
if you want all of the rest of them,
1177
00:39:37,540 --> 00:39:38,620
it's like a thousand dollars.
1178
00:39:38,980 --> 00:39:40,120
Right. And for me,
1179
00:39:40,150 --> 00:39:41,380
I've got ADHD.
1180
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:42,430
And so instead of like,
1181
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,310
go look through a thousand photos and check which ones you
1182
00:39:45,310 --> 00:39:47,170
want and pick it and you can pay,
1183
00:39:47,260 --> 00:39:47,500
you know,
1184
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,090
$35 per extra photo.
1185
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,250
It's an open loop for my brain.
1186
00:39:51,250 --> 00:39:51,820
That just goes,
1187
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:52,870
oh, I can't be bothered.
1188
00:39:53,230 --> 00:39:54,580
But if she just makes it easy and goes,
1189
00:39:54,610 --> 00:39:55,450
oh, you can just have all of them.
1190
00:39:55,450 --> 00:39:56,410
You don't even have to choose.
1191
00:39:56,410 --> 00:39:56,860
I would just go.
1192
00:39:57,650 --> 00:40:00,940
Yes. And that's the same thing.
1193
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:02,500
This a family photographer lady,
1194
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:03,160
she was just like,
1195
00:40:03,670 --> 00:40:05,890
we can have all the rest of them for these extra
1196
00:40:05,890 --> 00:40:06,490
amount or,
1197
00:40:06,490 --> 00:40:06,820
and then,
1198
00:40:06,820 --> 00:40:07,150
you know,
1199
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:08,590
I can do the booklet for you.
1200
00:40:08,860 --> 00:40:10,420
And it's those things that people,
1201
00:40:10,630 --> 00:40:12,340
yes, people can do it themselves.
1202
00:40:12,490 --> 00:40:13,210
Of course they can.
1203
00:40:13,210 --> 00:40:14,860
But in any industry,
1204
00:40:14,860 --> 00:40:15,550
people say to me,
1205
00:40:15,550 --> 00:40:16,870
but anyone can do this.
1206
00:40:16,870 --> 00:40:17,650
They can just do it themselves.
1207
00:40:17,890 --> 00:40:18,940
But that's not the point.
1208
00:40:18,970 --> 00:40:20,860
People want it to be easy.
1209
00:40:21,220 --> 00:40:24,040
They want it to turn up their beautiful picture of their,
1210
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,460
their pets framed so they can put it on their wall
1211
00:40:27,940 --> 00:40:30,220
because otherwise it will just sit on their hard drive for,
1212
00:40:30,460 --> 00:40:31,330
for the rest of their life.
1213
00:40:31,630 --> 00:40:32,620
So, you know,
1214
00:40:32,620 --> 00:40:35,500
it's, there's so many opportunities,
1215
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:36,640
but if you're just telling us,
1216
00:40:36,670 --> 00:40:37,930
oh, the people can afford it.
1217
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,070
You know,
1218
00:40:39,070 --> 00:40:41,050
what people can afford and what people value.
1219
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:42,340
You know,
1220
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:42,760
you don't,
1221
00:40:42,790 --> 00:40:44,560
you can't judge based on that.
1222
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,810
But also again,
1223
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,720
if you're charging 80% of your clients,
1224
00:40:49,720 --> 00:40:52,780
win-win pricing that they gladly pay it then gives you that
1225
00:40:52,780 --> 00:40:54,760
20% leeway to say,
1226
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:55,300
you know what?
1227
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:56,440
That family really touched me.
1228
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:57,700
And I know that they can't afford it.
1229
00:40:57,700 --> 00:40:59,320
So I'm going to give them the gallery upgrade.
1230
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,780
But if you're doing that for everyone,
1231
00:41:02,170 --> 00:41:04,420
you just burnt out and resentful.
1232
00:41:04,900 --> 00:41:06,010
Right? Right.
1233
00:41:06,070 --> 00:41:07,930
Absolutely very well said.
1234
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:11,110
I hope this has encouraged you guys to get out there
1235
00:41:11,110 --> 00:41:14,500
and try to increase your pricing and feel good about it.
1236
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:17,170
And start to ask yourself some of the questions that you
1237
00:41:17,170 --> 00:41:19,660
need to pose to me and see what comes up for
1238
00:41:19,660 --> 00:41:21,730
you. But before we go,
1239
00:41:21,730 --> 00:41:24,970
Denise Yuca just wrote a brand new book,
1240
00:41:25,270 --> 00:41:26,350
an updated book.
1241
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:27,910
Do you want to tell us a little bit about that?
1242
00:41:28,270 --> 00:41:31,360
Yes. So my book is called chillin prosper.
1243
00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:33,290
It's not about the dog industry.
1244
00:41:33,290 --> 00:41:36,080
I wish it's about.
1245
00:41:37,190 --> 00:41:40,340
Yes. Well finally you say that because I,
1246
00:41:40,490 --> 00:41:44,270
I also create money mindset guides for different industries and photographers
1247
00:41:44,270 --> 00:41:45,100
are next on my list.
1248
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:48,680
So stay capitalize on that one.
1249
00:41:49,130 --> 00:41:53,330
But chillin prosper is about my business philosophy of making things
1250
00:41:53,330 --> 00:41:55,310
as easy as possible for yourself.
1251
00:41:55,580 --> 00:42:00,440
So it's finding the path of least resistance in creating your
1252
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,180
business model in marketing,
1253
00:42:02,180 --> 00:42:05,810
in setting your prices and also in setting boundaries with your
1254
00:42:05,810 --> 00:42:08,750
clients. So I have a ton of scripts in there.
1255
00:42:08,750 --> 00:42:12,410
There's a lot of case studies just to give yourself permission,
1256
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,000
the mindset permission,
1257
00:42:14,270 --> 00:42:16,310
to be able to chill and prosper,
1258
00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:19,700
literally to do things in a way that's fun and enjoyable
1259
00:42:19,820 --> 00:42:21,080
and profitable.
1260
00:42:21,350 --> 00:42:23,900
So I've got a ton of pre-order bonuses for people as
1261
00:42:23,900 --> 00:42:27,890
well. If you go to Denise D t.com/prosper,
1262
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,260
you can see the links to buy the book all over
1263
00:42:30,260 --> 00:42:33,140
the place and you can put in your details and get
1264
00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:34,910
all those pre-order bonuses as well.
1265
00:42:35,300 --> 00:42:36,410
