Joy has the insight to run a profitable photography business. The current photo biz climate can be tricky, but she knows how to share her knowledge so that others can profit and be happy as well. After taking her "3 Weeks to Pricing Perfection" class I finally feel I know how to price myself. I am back in the drivers seat of my business to build the life I want to live.

How do you balance attending life events (friend's weddings, bday etc) with running your startup with no cash?

It is tricky to start a business when it soaks up your finances and time. I do believe time is a gift you can still give-- and you are entitled to go to parties and life events guilt free. If there is a cost involved ( travel to wedding or a gift) get creative. Could you carpool? Perhaps provide a creative but inexpensive gift with your talents? If that is not an option and attending will put finances in jeopardy just send a lovely heartfelt ( handwritten) card and a small gift if finances allow and skip the event.
