Creating a balance between your professional and private life can be a tricky task, especially if you’re a business owner. We sit with Morgan Williams, a photographer, business owner, and mother who has spent the last five years refining her business process. Today she shares her best tips and tricks. We open the episode by learning about Morgan’s history in photography, and how she could never be too far from her camera. After hearing about the inception of her business and the niche she focuses on, Morgan talks about why the industry can be overwhelming. She goes on to share valuable lessons she has learned, like setting boundaries, pricing correctly, and adding blocks to her calendar. As a working mother, Morgan has been faced with many challenges too, admitting that although moms are frequently told “they’re enough”, she accepts that no mother actually is. For Morgan, it’s about using external resources, as she tells us about various ways working moms can make their lives more manageable through daycare, housekeeping, and more.
