Self-doubt is one of the ways we entrepreneurs suffer and slow ourselves down on the way to success. And my fabulous guest, Jeffrey Shaw is literally writing the book about it. His goal is to help high achievers achieve everything they want to, and to help self-employed people, like you and me, have the confidence to set big goals and go after them.
I am so pleased to welcome back to the podcast, my friend Jeffrey Shaw. I say welcome back, because four years ago when I started The Profitable Photographer Podcast, Jeffrey was one of the first people I had to have on the show after seeing him speak at The Professional Photographers of America expo and reading his book, Lingo. He was actually episode 15!
Now, four years and over 200 episodes later, Jeffrey is back!
Not only is Jeffrey a photographer, but he is also an author, speaker, mentor, authority, and advocate for self-employed individuals. He’s spoken on TedX stages, has published multiple books, and has even been featured on Oprah!
He has two wildly successful books already and lucky for us, is giving us a look inside the new book way before it is finished…sharing his wisdom again on The Profitable Photographer Podcast. Because as Jeffrey says, “If you are brave enough to be self-employed, you are by definition a high achiever.”
Get ready to listen in and be inspired to tame those fears as Jeffrey shares with us:
- where self-doubt comes from
- the consequences of letting self-doubt be in charge,
- 3 components of self-doubt
- how to manage self-doubt
Interested in learning more about self-doubt from Jeffrey? He has not one, but two free gifts for us! The first is his Self-Doubt Survey and the second is his Self-Employed Assessment.

This week I am so excited to bring you the second episode of my new mini-series to the The Profitable Photographer Podcast! In case you missed episode 1, this mini-series is based on the free gift that I offer on my website: 7 Step Ideal Client Attraction Guide for Photographers. The guide that I’ve put together takes a deep dive into 7 steps every photographer needs to do to attract their ideal client, and over the next few weeks on the podcast, I’ll be breaking each of those steps down even further.
Next up? Step 2: Who are they? Listen in as I walk you through how to figure out who your ideal client is (not somebody that you’ve worked with before). The more you can picture your clients, the easier it is to recognize them, and know how to attract them.

“If you live life with intention, as if every day is a Saturday, it changes your perspective. It changes what you do, what you say, and how you live your life. Every day can be a Saturday with the right perspective and the right attitude.”
Today, our hostess, Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas sits down with Mitche Graf, a daddy of 3, bestselling author, serial entrepreneur, internationally renowned business speaker, nationally syndicated radio show host, and former All American Track & Field athlete.
The amazing Mitche has been a passionate serial entrepreneur for over 25 years, dangling his toes into the ponds of many intriguing industries along the way. From selling used bicycle parts out of his garage in the seventh grade to running four companies today, he has prided himself on knowing how to squeeze every drop of potential out of his endeavors.
Listen in as Mitche challenges business owners everywhere to find ways to charge more for your services by offering your clients even more value than you already do. In a similar vein, he speaks on the value of investing in your business sooner rather than later. He also offers advice on targeting your marketing toward your ideal client, and why you should never offer discounts.
The latter half of our conversation is all about lifestyle design, which is at the very center of everything Mitche teaches and does. He tells us, as entrepreneurs, to focus on the 5% of the activities that bring 95% of our results.
