#336: From a 17-Year Side Hustle to $81,000 in Just 5 Months

Busy for 17 years, but not profitable. What if the thing you're most afraid of changing is the thing holding your business back?

This week on the Joycast, New York photographer and retired middle school teacher Maura Kirkezis shares how she went from making up prices on scraps of paper and handing over digital files for about $365, to bringing in more than $81,000 from her biggest orders in just five months. And she did it with the same clients in the same everyday community she's served all along. Sarah and Maura talk about what Maura was afraid would happen when she stopped giving everything away, and what happened instead. Hit play and enjoy the episode!

● How a $365 average order turned into a $3,650 first sale (and why Maura was shaking when she drove away)
● The referral that became an $11,400 senior portrait order
● What happened when her old digital-only clients came back to work with her the boutique way

Maura isn't a unicorn. She followed a proven process and stopped discounting her own value. Your next chapter can look nothing like your last one. Your past self might even be jealous.
