I am super excited to share part 2 of my topic based on the book “The Four Agreements” with Don Miguel Ruiz. This small but powerful book has tools for living a great life and I take these lessons and show how we can use them in business.
I have said this many times…that business is a great way to grow and a person ,and growing past our fears and reactions that hold us back in life is a great way to be more successful in business. It is the gift of being self-employed.
The Four Agreements are:
1) Be impeccable with your word
2) Don’t take anything personally
3) Don’t make assumptions
4) Always do your best.
As I share my thoughts about 2, 3 and 4, I hope these tools become ingrained in your thinking and help you overcome challenges we all face.

and allowed me to coach him with a “Create the Business of Your Dreams” strategy session, and share it with The Profitable Photography listeners.
We dig deep together into his vision for his business, both the big picture and smaller details. I am a firm believer that getting super clear wabout here you want to go is a huge step towards success. How can you create what you want if you haven’t defined it yet?
Then we go into his current challenges and beliefs that hold him back. I am sure you will resonate with much of what he courageously shares with us.
SPECIAL Offer!!! In the next 4 weeks, I am gifting strategy sessions to 6 photographers that are wanting much more success and might be ready for coaching. To apply, email luci@lucidumas.com with the title “Strategy Session” and I will send you a link for an initial chat.
