087 ~ Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 7 (Build Wealth & Give)

Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 7 - Build Wealth & Give is the goal. The Baby Steps Dave has outlined all work together to lead you to this point in life.

086 ~ Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 4, 5, & 6 (Investing, College, & the Mortgage)

Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps 4, 5, & 6 - Investing, College, & the Mortgage all happen at the same time in Dave's plan so I wanted to cover them all at once in the same episode. Baby Step 4; Invest 15% of your income for retirement. Baby Step 5; Save/Invest for kids college. Baby Step 6; Pay off your home mortgage. These steps are where most people disagree with Dave and his process whereas I love what they have outlined. I'm going to take the next 42 mins to outline the 3 steps and hopefull...

085 ~ Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 3 (3-6 Month Emergency Fund)

Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 3 - Save A 3-6 Month Emergency Fund is the one I resonate with the most (so yeah, continuing a series on DR). Dave Ramey’s whole platform is to build wealth because building wealth allows you to have control of you time and money, which will let you live the life you want to live rather than the life you are handed. Once your debt is gone the next step in the plan is to create a financial buffer between you and life because guess what; life is going to happen. Some say sa...

084 ~ Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 2 (Pay Off All Non-Mortgage Debt)

I want to talk about Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 2 - Pay Off All Non-Mortgage Debt in this episode (so yes, we are doing a series now). Dave Ramey’s whole platform is to build wealth because building wealth allows you to have control of you time and money, which will let you live the life you want to live rather than the life you are handed. Debt is an obligation that requires one party, the debtor, to pay money or other agreed-upon value to another party, the creditor . Debt is a deferred payment, ...

083 ~ Dave Ramsey's Baby Step 1 ($1,000 Starter Emergency Fund)

In recent months I have had numerous conversation with people telling me why Dave Ramsey is wrong and how his system (The Baby Steps) is only for people who do not know how manage their money, or those who are deeply in debt. I couldn't disagree more. Dave Ramey’s whole platform is to build wealth because building wealth allows you to have control of you time and money, which will let you live the life you want to live rather than the life you are handed. In this episode I want to dive into the ...

082 ~ AirBnB Experiences Pt.1 - Planning

AirBnB Experiences are a fun way to meet new people for your business you may not have otherwise been connected with. In this episode I break down my plans to begin using AirBnB Experiences in photography and the necessary steps I have to take in order to move me towards that goal. I wrap the niche of photography around AirBnB Experiences, but this is something most niches can consider adding into their marketing mix. Live events come in many shapes and forms and instead of trying to sell out an...

081 ~ The Power of Focus

Recently I keep hearing this word over and over in my life in various places and various forms, and once I decided to pay attention things began to become more clear in my own head and life. That word is Focus. When you get clear about what you want your priorities will begin to form and fall into place. At that point you can either listen to the messages they are giving you about what to focus on, or you can try to do 50 things at once and get nowhere. Take the next 90 days and become hyper foc...

080 ~ Getting Creative With Photography

This year (2022) I've put my photography endeavors on the back burner in order to pursue other goals. I have big goals in photography but I have not been pursuing them at all the majority of these last months. JohnnyBoy Photos could use some love. It is time to get back to the passion I love and in this episode I want to share my approach to getting creative about building my photography business. My passion is still there and I see the opportunities to grow a thriving photography business if I ...

079 ~ Book Review; Launch!

Reading Launch! helped me to transition “old-school” sales tactics (such as the sales letter or extremely long sales pages) into today’s times with live video, social media, new media, and more. This book transformed years of schooling into practical application for today and will help no matter what level of business you are at. This content first appeared on the Johnny's Library podcast where I dive deep into the books that have been game changers in the way I approach life and business. If yo...

078 ~ Resources Pages, And Why I Have Them On All Of My Sites

Each of my brands current have their own version of a resources page on their websites, or I have plans to create one very soon. This is one central location for my highest recommended items in regards to each niche. That has helped with authority with my audience, SEO for the web crawlers, network building with other brands, and income for the business. Affiliate marketing is both tricky and also very easy. As I learn more and more I work to refine these pages to be of the highest benefit for m...

076 ~ Diving Into Affiliate Marketing

I am ready to start using affiliate marketing as a part of my business model and with 4 websites, 4 podcasts, a YouTube channel, an email newsletter, social media and more this is essentially leaving money on the table. Time-for-dollars has got me here with freelancing, 1-on-1 gigs in photography and coaching, but that is not something that is scalable. I want to add new revenue streams with the goal of covering the basic costs to my business and help a ton of people along the way. This is somet...

075 ~ Its Time To Level Up

"You are operating nowhere near your potential" This is a post-it note I keep near my computer to remind myself I can do more, and today I felt compelled to dive into this more. It is time to level up on multiple fronts; photography, coaching, podcasting, and writing. I have accomplished so much in my life and since moving day-jobs back in 2019 I have been able to do any more, but since moving day-jobs back 2019 I have also began to relax more in my efforts pursuing what I really want in life.

There are a million different choices when it comes to social media. Ok, not really a million, but that are many.

067 ~ WHY YOU SHOULD; Develop Multiple Streams of Income

This is the last episode in the series of WHY YOU SHOULD _________ and I want to close the series just diving into one concept; develop multiple streams of income. 2020 brought the world to a standstill and entire industries disappeared overnight, not to be seen for a year and a half. For many that became a season of uncertainty in their lives not knowing where their next paycheck was coming from and no plans to move forward. While this may not happen again on a global scale chances are good lif...

Similar to how many services can naturally flow into a physical product, some can end in digital products as well. Even if you are not starting out with a service that ends as a digital product you can set out to create a product specifically for digital use! The opportunity to scale an eBook, a video course, a plug in or a template far outweigh the demands associated with a physical product. If you are creative or highly technical creating a digital product may be the next course of action you ...

In the previous episode we discussed how a service based business can be really beneficial and fairly easy to get started in. The natural progression of many services is to offer a physical product as the end result. Photographers can sell prints. Writers can sell books. Chefs can sell ready-made meals. Seamstresses can sell face masks when the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Offering physical products in your business could be a game changer and a wonderful source of revenue. You know I be...
