091: Does What We Do Even Matter? Jun 19, 2023

Show notes

Today we are covering the existential question of:

“Does what we do even matter?”

Or better put: “Does anything matter?”

It’s a key question I think many entrepreneurs face as they stay motivated and mentally healthy throughout their life, and I want to share a bit about how I answer these questions.

Towards the end I will be sharing a bit about my personal faith in Jesus Christ in this episode, and I hope to do so in a winsome and kind way, so those who are not of my faith still get a lot out of this episode. Quite frankly, this is created more for those who do not share my faith and are looking for answers to these questions.

Ready to dive in? Let’s get into the episode.

087: Booking $40k in One Month of Photography with Patty Betts - STUDENT SPOTLIGHT May 31, 2023

Show notes

You’re listening to Nathan Chanski and this is the Passion with Purpose Podcast.

On today’s episode I interview a photographer and current student in my 1:1 six-figure coaching program—Patty Betts—on how she booked $40k in one singular month, and reached six-figures in bookings after only 4 months of the year.

Patty is a wedding photographer from Raleigh, North Carolina, and is an absolute force when it comes to running a business. All the while she is pretty early on in her entrepreneurial journey, so I think A LOT of listeners are going to resonate with her story and the things she shares.

She started her journey in the professional world with a huge career ahead of her in engineering, but was willing to give it all up to follow her dreams of being a creative entrepreneur. AND SHE’S DOING IT.

If you’re an ACTION TAKER like Patty, you resonate with her story, and you need help in your business scaling to that six figures and beyond mark, I want you to go to the show notes of this episode, and find where it says “Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Nate.”

I’m going to be looking for the next round of members for my coaching program very soon, and I want to make sure I have YOUR name and info if you want to join the program yourself. I’m not going to lie, it’s a small group in the early stages of this program, so I have to be selective with who I take on, but you may be the exact person I can help.

Sound good?

Alright, let’s dive into this episode and chat with Patty!

084: How To Take Time Off Work Without Guilt or Overwhelm May 15, 2023

Show notes

This past week, I got back from a vacation or "work break" in Hawaii with my wife, and unlike most trips I've recently taken, this trip was NOT followed by the guilt or overwhelm that usually happens after I have taken breaks from work in the past.

Why did this happen? How was I able to manage that?

On this episode, I break down how my photography business structure, and photography coaching, and overall out-of-office preparation gave me the ability to truly enjoy the time off, and come back refreshed without heaps of work to rush back to. Press play, and find out how I did it!
