I used to be worried about bookings until I looked back on certain data I had showing that it was normal for me to be at a certain point in December, as you said. This stopped me from being concerned every year. I ought do that more often and in every aspect of my business. Tracking where EVERY lead comes from (whether booked or not) is an important business aspect to apply these steps to. Same with website analysis (through goggle analytics, etc.), packages offered, etc. In short, business success means making sure that you do, at some point, focus on your business, and not just by raising your rates yearly. Success means being just as much a business person as it does being a good photographer. Thanks for the reminder and a good method to do this! Great article!
