## Resource

Imagine a wedding videographer who goes all-in on alignment, niching down, and grows to $300K+ in a year... Meet Frankie, one of my Business Blueprint coaching students. In this episode, I sit down with Frankie from Salt Shaker Films (one of my Business Blueprint students) who completely transformed his business. From $80–90K on the side, to turning down the wrong clients for him (even to the tune of $25k+ one month) to then making over $300K full-time as a videographer, this is what happens when skill meets strategy and conviction. Scaling as a wedding videographer $300K year after Business Blueprint Niching into faith-based weddings Demand mindset (“house party”) Turning away misaligned clients If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible, this is it.
