The Heart & Hustle Podcast

Today is another coaching call episode where we sat down with one of our students from our course The Instagram Major and coached her on all things Instagram. And you get a li'l front-row seat in on our conversation. Today we chatted with Dallas-based intimate wedding photographer Annie Shannon, the sweetest human on the planet, about her Instagram. In today's episode, we go over her Instagram feed, giving her tips on the disconnect she said she's feeling with booking potential clients from Instagram. While going through our course The Instagram Major, Annie discovered her niche: accessible elopements and intimate weddings for couples who want the view without the hike. We coach her on how to incorporate that specific niche into her Instagram strategy and in her business as a whole. We also chatted with Annie about how to align your content strategy to speak directly to your ideal client, so you're MORE likely to connect to your followers on Instagram and convert them into paying clients. I pray that listening in on our coaching call with Annie will open your eyes to different ideas and strategies YOU can use in your own business - whether you're similar to Annie or not.

We talk a LOT on this show about marketing and business, particularly coming from our experience with personal branding and running businesses with your face attached to the front. A lot of you can relate to the fact that when your business requires YOU to get out of your bed, show up, and physically make your business profitable, it can be SO exhausting. HOWEVER, there is a WORLD of business types out there, and not every company has to operate that way. It's WISE to have multiple types of income which is what we're chatting all about today with our dear friend Zim Flores. Today we talked about the 8 different types of income streams that most millionaires have, what each looks like, and where you should start in your own journey if you want to begin expanding your revenue streams. Zim breaks down what passive income can look like, business model ideas for you to chew on, as well as a good chat about the pros and cons of having a personal brand with your face attached to it, and how to begin thinking about building income streams without a personal brand at all. This episode is PACKED and we seriously can't believe this is only a fraction of what Zim is gonna be sharing at The Heart Conference in Nashville in a couple of weeks.

This recording is from an interview that we did on Mary Marantz's podcast a few months ago. It was SUCH a powerful conversation that we wanted to make sure YOU, our listeners, got to join the conversation as well. If you've ever struggled with imposter syndrome, how to run a business through a biblical worldview, or how to avoid falling into the trap of becoming paralyzed by fear, if ANY of that sounds like something you'd like to chat about, you're in the right spot. In today's conversation with Mary, we talked about everything mentioned, PLUS what to do when you feel far from the Lord, how to create content without losing yourself in the process, how to prioritize rest, how to focus on slow growth in order to create strong roots, and so much more that we PROMISE will bless your socks off today. Mary is a powerhouse entrepreneur, believer, and human being, and this episode will bless and wrecked us in so many ways and we know it'll do the same for you. So plug-in those headphones, grab your favorite drink, and let's sit down for a deep and beautiful heart-to-heart conversation.
