10). Be Driven By Your Clients
The last of these small business tips is the most important. Let your clients be motivators for you. We’ve experienced this so heavily ourselves. Working day jobs alongside our photography business, we know what it feels like to completely lose motivation at work. Our business, as challenging as it is at times, has been the most rewarding thing we’ve ever done. At the end of the day, while the money is great, the feedback we receive from our clients hits us really hard. To see some of this feedback take the form of great reviews for us motivates us to push even harder.

9). Identify the Things You Can Do Yourself & The Things You Can’t
One of the hardest things to do as a business owner is to be real about the things you can’t do. Sometimes, we’re just not particularly good at some things.

For us, this goes back into our high school and college years with neither of us being good at math. Outside of some basic accounting, any jobs we’d have to do that required more complex math would probably need to be outsourced.

8). Learn How to Say “No”
One of the best feelings in the world for us has been growing our business to a point where we are not desperate for business. Being able to decline jobs, even well paying ones, because we don’t want to do them is gratifying. As artists, we aim to do shoots that resonate with us. In the world of weddings, this includes shooting at places that are unique and interesting, working with other vendors we know and respect, and shooting weddings that are thematically in our ballpark.

Saying “no” is also something that comes up when there are just things we don’t do, or would be uncomfortable doing. You should absolutely feel empowered as a business owner to say “no” when it makes sense for you!

7). Do Not Be Afraid of Calculated Change
As time goes on, businesses have to change. They have to change to stay relevant. It can be hard to implement changes, but without it, businesses go out of business. Lately, we’ve seen so many cases of big businesses that were once a staple in their industries lose track and file bankruptcy.

As with everything, the need to adapt and change should be well thought out. You shouldn’t just change to go with every new trend that comes around. But, thinking in the long term, you need to be able to project what people will want in 6 months, one year, 5 years, 20 years…

6). Document Your Processes
Everything you do as a business, document how it’s done. This is especially important when you have employees. One big loss companies face when people leave their company is all the knowledge they take with them. This includes knowledge of workarounds people might have been using as a result of being on the job and knowing some things are broken.

5). Learn From the Greats in Your Industry
Most of the time, you’re not going to be the first person to enter your industry of choice. There are often big names and brands sitting at the top of the industry. In the photography world, Annie Leibovitz is a household name. Her work is very distinct, and her business capabilities are pretty difficult to surpass.

4). Have Photos Taken of Your Product
brand-photographyAs photographers, we are a little biased here – but if you have a physical product, you should definitely consider having proper product photos taken. These photos help you to represent your product in the best light (no pun intended!).

3). Invest In Education

In all the small business tips we have to offer, the most obvious one would be the need to be well educated on whatever product or service you are offering. Even before you start your business, having a supporting background in your industry will be beneficial. However, as we have significantly learned, professional knowledge can only grow and expand.
