The Problem:
The Problem:
Bo had already built what most photographers dream of - two studios, 150+ events per year, and a strong reputation. But under the surface, things weren’t clicking like they used to.
Revenue was stagnant. Sales felt messy.
After years of relying on hustle and instinct, Bo started to feel the weight of being the guy who had to hold everything together. “After 12 years, I didn’t want to keep doing it all alone - or keep guessing my way through scale.”
At first, he wasn’t sure if the program would be worth it since he's been in the game for so long and has seen it all. But what convinced him wasn’t just the promise of better marketing or strategy - it was the clarity of the sales process.
