THE ELENA S BLAIR PHOTOGRAPHY MASTERMIND
For photographers looking to level up their photography business in an intimate group setting, with live calls, guest speakers, mindset work, culminating in an in-person retreat.
What exactly is a“photography mastermind”?
A photography mastermind is a long-term group coaching program. Each one being offered is unique, so it’s important to make sure that you feel connected to the leader (ahem, that is me), and that they’ve achieved what you’re working to achieve.
Your group will be carefully curated—I will only accept members that I believe to be at a similar level in art and business, but who share a collective goal of seeing massive personal and professional growth.
This doesn’t mean you need a certain monetary level of success, x years in business, or a laundry list of accolades.
I’m looking to form a group of highly motivated individuals who prioritize personal development.
-
You might be the kid of person who loves to read personal development books.
-
You likely listen to business or inspirational podcasts on the regular.
-
You see highly successful photographers and think “I want THAT!”
-
You are what some would call, obsessed with photography and becoming the best artist you can be.
-
You probably watch YouTube tutorials and follow a lot of established photographers on Instagram, trying to figure out how to “get there” and “get there” faster.
-
You believe in the power of mindset and realize that a lot of successful people work not only on artistic development and strategy, but also work on their inner dialogue and programming.
-
You may be the type who likes yoga, meditation, and manifestation practices, or perhaps you are curious about those practices.
Meaning, I put in a lot of mindset and personal development work and that will be a large part of this program. One of the meetings each month will focus on mindset to help you bust through roadblocks like impostor syndrome (no more playing small), money mindset, leaning into your intuition, and so much more.
but, of course, we will talk strategy, brand, diversifying, and together help each member scale to the next level. You will also get two 1/1 calls with me throughout the program!
How do I know if a mastermind group for photography is right for me?
I am glad you asked! This is a good fit for you if some of the following sound like you:
-
You are ready to take your photography business and brand to six figures and beyond
-
You are ready to charge what you are worth and only take clients you love
-
You want to learn the strategy to book your calendar out months in advance
-
You are ready to streamline your processes
-
You are interested in growing your team with perhaps an editor, assistant, associate or bookkeeper
-
You already have a website and social media following but are ready to solidify your brand messaging and purpose
-
You want to grow your impact in the photography world by possibly getting published on influential blogs, websites and/or photography magazines
-
You are ready to diversify your income with a new offering
What do you mean by “group?”
There is accountability and value in group work. You will become incredibly close to your group and will have lifelong connections. You will be able to give each other encouragement, feedback, and ideas. This will truly embody “community over competition.”
A little more about who is this best suited for?
-
You should have a handle on the technicalities of photography and editing.
-
You might be feeling like something is missing.
-
You might be feeling like you are in a rut.
-
You might be feeling like your work is great yet you aren’t getting any inquires.
-
Maybe you want someone to help you define your style or decide what genre to focus on.
-
You want to be respected in the photography industry
-
You want this to be your full time gig
The Retreat
The Retreat
You put in the work, now you get to retreat.
My retreats are designed to strengthen your community, inspire your artistry, and solidify your purpose. We will spend two full days nourishing each others souls and supporting each others artistic, business, and personal visions.
Seattle. Napa Valley. Palm Springs.
Designed to inspire, my retreat locations change with each cohort. The Photography Mastermind Retreat has easily become one of the key components to my Photography Mastermind and the event is gaining industry wide recognition. With sponsorship from Canon, B&H photo and more, The ESB Photography Mastermind Retreats are the perfect way to end our time together. At this time, you must be a past or current mastermind member to attend.
If any of that sounds like you, you should apply.
**Cost of Photography Mastermind will include the retreat including two meals a day, however does not include travel or lodging.
How much will this cost? Here’s the thing. I don’t want you to start with the negative self-talk right out of the gate. “Am I worth this?” “Can I afford this?” “Will I be able to make this money back?” “Will my partner be okay with this?”
I will tell you how much the investment is should you be selected for the interview call.
I hope I get to work with you! I can’t wait to form this group of engaged artists. It is going to be a transformative experience for all of us.
