064: Quitting Your 9-5 To Become A Full-...

Nathan Chanski - Photography Business Coach
About this episode

I have an amazing photographer for you to meet today. Not more than 6 months ago, she quit her 9-5 to pursue life as a full-time photog! Miss Sarah Wagner has some WISDOM to share with you today! We are going to dive into her story, why she chose to go full-time, the hurdles she had to get past to come to that decision and what business is like today for her… on the other side of that crazy leap!

Sarah is a Photographer, Educator and Business Coach based in Southwest Florida. She recently left her corporate marketing career after launching her photography business, Chasing Creative. Her primary focus is with families and couples where she captures emotion with her bold and colorful editing style.

Are you ready for this one? I can’t wait for you to meet Sarah and hear her story! I truly think it’s one many of you can relate to!
