4 years ago, I was at a crossroads in my business. I had to make a decision. I could keep doing the business the same way I had been the last several years (which was a very unhealthy relationship with work), I could quit altogether - which is what I was tempted to do, or buckle down and figure out a better system which is exactly what I did.
That system completely changed my business. I decided to hire a team. I was able to get some help so that I could start being the visionary for my business again. My first year of having a team in place was the first year my business reached 6 figures. Since then my business has only grown.
This is a 6 week training course that will show you exactly how to hire your first team member, or 5 team members. I will teach you everything I have learned over the last 4 years of having a team. This content will include the good, bad, and ugly, but mostly the good... because it has been transformational for my business.
Do you need help in your business, but don't know what to do, or how to hire help? Are you exhausted trying to get everything done on your own? In order to grow your business to the next level... you need help! This course will teach you...

Training with my personal CPA on how to set up your team the right way from the very beginning.
My biggest fear of hiring a team member was that I wasn't bringing in enough income to hire someone, or that I would, in turn, lose some of my personal income if I hired help.
In fact, it was the complete opposite. My business grew. My income grew.
Hey ya'll! I'm Jennie. I'm a wife, mother, and a photographer. I have been a photographer for the last 10 years, but have been full time in business for the last 6 years. I'm not your typical educator. I don't educate because I'm a great teacher. I educate because I have a desire to help others succeed. I'm still very much in the wedding photography business so you will get me raw as I'm still working and implementing things in my own business.
I have had a photography team for the last 4 years, and it has completely changed my business. I never want to go back to being a solopreneur. Having a team working alongside me has been transformational for not just my business but even my personal life. It has given me freedom and flexibility in my business that I never knew was possible.
This class is for the photographer that has vision for their business to go to the next level. You can see past the stage of where you are right now as a solopreneur. You know there is more, and you know that your business has the potential for growth.
"Jennie is the BEST of the best! Not only will Jennie be your new-found friend, but she will help you to launch your business to the next level. She cuts out all of the fluff and will give you actionable steps to up level your business."
"I knew my business needed help. I knew I needed to add a team member, but I had no idea where to start. Jennie's education has helped me so with hiring my first team member. She took all of my fears away, and gave me the exact info I needed to pull the trigger."
"Jennie is an amazing photographer + educator! She has a huge heart and is so patient during our family shoots we've had with her, which came hand in hand during her photography class!"
"Investing in Jennie Tewell education has been the best decision for me and my business. I have learned so much valuable content, and it has transformed me as a photographer, and business owner. I am so thankful for Jennie and 100% believe I am where I am at today, because of her help."
