How to “Find” Your Motivation When You’re Feeling Less Than Awesome About Your Business or Art

The Art & Soul Show - Photography Podcast for Newborn and Family Photographers

When you start out as a creative, you’re full of energy and motivation. You probably have a “why” that gets your adrenaline pumping and keeps you focused… at least for a little while.

But inevitably, that energy wanes. The motivation you once had to keep going in the tougher parts of your business is fading, and you might be wondering, how do I recapture that spark?

Well, in this episode, I’m going to walk you through my whole process of rediscovering my motivation to keep going in my photography business and sharing the questions I had to ask and answer for myself as I sorted through this process.

Grab a pen and notebook to write down these questions for later, and let’s get started!
