Goal Setting for 2024

Running a successful photography business can be easy and challenging, based on your input. Among the things that stand tall is setting goals for what you want to achieve or where you want to go. Goals give you direction, focus, and the satisfaction of checking things off your list. If you want to be intentional about the direction you are going with your business, you have to eventually set some goals and parameters and measure yourself against them. But before making those goals, it’s good to revisit your past goals. See what worked and what flopped, and use these insights to adjust your course.

In this episode of the Rhea Whitney Podcast, Rhea discusses how to set your business goals for 2024 perfectly. You may have been setting goals in the previous years, but you may not have achieved the desired level of success. What piece could you be missing? Rhea reveals new tips and strategies you can incorporate. For instance, she insists that instead of aiming for one giant goal, focus on specific areas within each quarter of the year. It could be booking several weddings in Q1, launching a new workshop series in Q2, or mastering a new lighting technique in Q3. This way, you have smaller, achievable milestones to celebrate.
