Summary
"I’m giving myself one more year… and if by the start of 2026 this is still literally going nowhere… maybe this isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing." That's what Olivia Tarkowski (today's guest) said to her husband in January of 2025. Good grief did her story take a turn! Today, I'm joined by Business Blueprint student named Olivia, a wedding photographer who went from struggling to book consistently (she floated the idea of quitting at one point!) — to closing her books, doubling her income, and hitting 70–80% booking rates in just a few months. ...oh and then she hit $100k in 2025. We talk candidly about leaving corporate, walking through uncertainty, rebuilding her brand, and what changed when she finally surrendered control of her business to God. Her story is a real life story of faith, persistence, and breakthrough. If you’re in a slow season, questioning your calling, or wondering if this business can actually work — this episode is for you. ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program: THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT ⭐️ Questions about the Business Blueprint?
