“Our personal lives and businesses are so intertwined” - said everyone ever with no further details. That’s My Personal Business is pulling back the curtain on all things personal, all things business, and all things in between - showing you what it *actually* takes to become a successful creative and photographer through self work, actionable steps, social media strategy and more. Every Monday we’re helping you skip the learning curve by hearing from industry professionals including your host, Eden Strader - a destination wedding photographer turned business coach, leading creative entrepreneurs in building a life of artistic growth, wealth, and freedom. Helping photographers and creatives scale their businesses four-fold, sell out workshops in a week, fill out their calendars and more, Eden scaled her own business to over $1 million in revenue by age 27 while still having a beautiful life outside of her business. It’s time for you to learn how to do the same.
