5 big lessons I had to learn in 2025.

I share where I got things wrong, where I got them right, and how God uses it all for His glory. ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:
"Everyone is an artist until rent is due."
I heard this quote recently ("everyone is an artist until rent is due") and it got me thinking... Is this true? Are we all just purebred artists at our core? Do we default to creating beautiful art when we are NOT in need, and NOT stressed, and NOT short on time? And if so, how do we unlock those things? What does this say about us as a species?

Photography is not "solving client problems." It's this...
Today's episode stems from a question that I recently got asked on a coaching call. A student asked how to let a potential client know that they absolutely NEED them (the photographer) to solve their (the client's) problems. But as I got to thinking, that might actually be the wrong question... Let's unpack this in today's episode!⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:THE BUS
“Clients seem excited, but then ghost. WHY?”
Why is it that so often when an excited client inquires with you you end up not hearing from them again? This is frustrating and doesn't make any sense. But it's also a common experience among service-based industry providers. On today's episode I'd like to empower you with ways in which you can overcome these situations! Let's get into it.⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program:

Discipline isn’t "doing all the things you hate." It's THIS...
For years I saw "discipline" as the enemy. I thought it was just "doing the stuff I didn't want to do." I was wrong. In fact, it's something completely different.
