Building a family-first business is a journey that’s close to my heart and central to my life mission. If you want to build a business that lasts, you have to build it on a FIRM FOUNDATION. I firmly believe that revival starts with family 🏠 this belief is actually what inspired the creation of the HOME Workshop, where I aim to spread God’s light and these values so that you can build a wildly successful photography business without compromise or burnout.
Here are some of the things I have implemented that have changed the game for me:
Set Systems in Place for Workflow Automation:
Create a Supportive Team: Recognizing the importance of delegation has been pivotal in scaling my business and saving time. I would rather outsource tasks I don’t love doing instead of spending hours trying to do them myself.
Hiring experts in these spaces not only up levels my business but allows me to focus on what truly matters.
Organize Your Agenda Around Family: Schedule work around family commitments, not the other way around. Protect your family time fiercely!
Additional Tips for a Family-First Business:
Listen, I’m currently writing this email during what should be one of the busiest seasons for my biz 📸 (I have my summer minis on Saturday PLUS, I am in the midst of a massive launch – see below 😉). So… you would think I’m currently slaving away with my blue light blocking glasses on in front of the computer, right? 🤓🖥😵💫
Well, what I’m actually doing is floating down a river with my family somewhere in the mountains with no cell service having the time of my life. 🤭💕 and I could only do this because of the things I outlined above.
To be clear: I’m NOT suggesting that building a successful business doesn’t require you to hustle, because it absolutely does. However, it should never require you to compromise on your core values, your home life, or on your health and sanity.
Building a business with family in mind isn’t just possible—it’s the key to creating a life you love. Let’s make our families proud and our dreams a reality!
