“I have achieved more during this challenge than the previous four years. It’s been kind of like unraveling a ball of wool for me and I never would have been able to do it without The Challenge, and Kirstie’s support and knowledge!”

Kirstie McConnell | Co-founder of the Pet Photographers Club

When I launched my pet photography business I was the only pet-specific photographer in my small city (Adelaide, Australia). The average sale for family photographers at the time was around $500.

I HAD THE SAME THOUGHTS THAT YOU HAVE.

“I can’t charge any more than this”.
“There aren’t enough people in my city to specialise in just pets”.
”This isn’t America”.

BUT, I WAS WRONG.

My happy number was 100 sessions a year. So from the ONE million people around me, all I needed was 100.

That’s just one in every 10.000.

ONCE I STARTED THINKING THIS WAY, EVERYTHING CHANGED.

I implemented pricing and systems that actually let me be profitable.

My average sale was $2200 (more than 4x the average family photographer).

I designed a business to suit my lifestyle (3-6 months of travelling every winter!) and was booked to capacity.

What are your lifestyle dreams? Let's implement some changes so you can meet them!

“This challenge has helped me become more organized and thorough in my approach. No more flying by the seat of my pants! The Challenge covered everything I need to get my business up and running. I feel I will be prepared for the journey ahead!”

  • It sure is!


    I’m Australian but I live in Europe and work closely with photographers all around the world, which gives me a unique perspective in understanding the different situations in different countries!

    The last challenge had photographers from Belgium, U.K., the Netherlands, Slovakia, Spain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the U.S.!

  • Definitely not!

    
You’re in a fortunate position where you have found a resource that can help you set up properly from the very beginning! Why waste time putting something in place now only to learn later and have to change it all?

  • That depends!

    Are you meeting your goals? If so, this is likely not for you!

    I recommend shooting me an email with some information about where you are at in your business right now.

    I can direct you to the best resource to help you, which may be this or something else, OR, it might be me saying "implement what you have already learned!".

“The challenge really helped me to see how things could be done. I have updated my website, I doubled my prices and started selling product.

I also went outside of my comfort zone and started focusing on offline marketing as-well!


Now I am not afraid.”
