This is for you if:

  • You're not sure what you should be focusing on doing next to most effectively grow your business and feel overwhelmed by all the options

  • You tend to randomly choose tasks to complete each day, and/or fire-fight as things land on your desk

  • You'd like to work with more simplicity, clarity, focus and productivity so that you make the most of what time you do have available

  • You never feel like you have enough time and are worried that working harder on growing your business will burn you out

  • You get easily distracted by what other people are doing, and wonder if you should be doing the same things that they are

  • You've got a big 'to do' list floating round in your head that makes you feel overwhelmed

  • You know you should probably do more marketing and sales but don't know how it can comfortably fit in with your day to day activities

  • You often leave projects half-finished and struggle with the focus to see them through

Testimonials

"The most beneficial photography/business-related training"

Patrick Duddy

“Honestly, without hyperbole, it was the most beneficial photography/business-related training I've attended... I just loved your practical & realistic approach to the six-week planning and I probably put more purposeful thought into my photography as a business within 90 minutes as I have in the past in total...”

"Such a kick up the bum"

Anna Kennedy

“That was a brilliant session - I have a whole notebook full of notes and my next 6 week plan in place! You’ve given me such a kick up the bum. So excited to get started and a huge thank you for sharing all your wisdom!”

"Now I'm on a mission"

Rachel Ulph

“My business has been stuck in a complete rut - I couldn't decide where it was going, what I was doing. This planning process really made me take the time to think about my ultimate goals and break it down into achievable steps. It helped me make a really manageable to do list for the next 6 weeks so I now don't have to think about it. Now I'm on a mission just to take a morning every few months to actually plan what the business is doing, remember where I want it to go, and then just follow the list! Makes so much sense and I totally wouldn't have done it without Anna's help. Thanks Anna!”

"Prioritise and focus without feeling like you're treading water"

Laura Cullen

“It’s very easy when self employed to become completely overwhelmed in an ongoing battle of what you need to do and what you want to do, with endless half effort attempts but never actually getting a complete project done. The 6 week planning guides you on how to prioritise and focus without feeling like you're treading water. I found the process incredibly helpful, especially doing it as part of an online community. Suddenly you're not isolated in your own thoughts with the sense of overwhelm, but prioritising by just talking it out amongst others and Anna, which is equally as helpful as putting down on paper. Thank you Anna and the Shutterhood community.”

"We've already completed tasks we'd been putting off for months!"

Helen & Vicki

“Thank you so much for the planning session! It was the perfect time of year for us to start our planning and gave us a great framework to kick off a six week sections of plans at our quietest time of year. We found it a really useful way to work out the time we had available and the best use of that time which is something we really struggle with. We are already onto the second week of our plan and have already completed tasks we had been putting off for months!”
