What’s on Offer for Premium Members
If you’re on the fence about becoming a premium member, join with the $1 trial today and get access to the FULL interviews each week, a fantastic back catalogue of interviews, and have ALL future interviews delivered automatically to your phone or tablet.
Plus, special member-only interviews.
This is how I think in person marketing works. This is how networking works. If you realize that you're okay with me, Sarah the person, because we met at a networking event or just out in public, then you go to my website, you're just learning more about something you already like. – Sarah Perez
You'll also receive access to the members-only Secret Facebook Group, where you can connect with other Premium Members and interview guests to help, support and motivate you to take ideas you hear in each episode and put them into action. The group also has FB live video tutorials, role-play, and special live interviews. You will not find more friendly, motivated, caring and sharing photographers online.
As far as growing my business, I utilise a waitlist because I want to make sure that my business serves my family and not the other way around. I never want to say no to my children in order to serve my business. So I make sure that I have enough time to do everything I want to do for my family. And then my business fills in the gaps. – Sarah Perez
Seriously, that's not all.
In addition to everything above, you'll get access to instructions on forming or joining a MasterMind Group with other premium members. These groups are super motivating, make you accountable, and build friendships with other pro photographers with motives similar to yours – to build a more successful photography business.

I'm just driven and I enjoy it. I love to watch people thrive in what they do. So like these small businesses that I work with, I don't know. I derive so much pleasure and satisfaction from helping them do what they do, but do it better. – Sarah Perez
