Philip Morgan of www.philipmorganconsulting.com is not a photographer, nor does he have anything to do with the photographic industry. His focus is helping people in business, position themselves as the expert in their area by developing a point of view and getting that message in front of their ideal clients.
The more I read, learned and heard about Philip, I couldn't help but see the similarities between the people he was helping to professional photographers trying to get known and booked for what we do.
On Philip's, he says…
I am here to help you accelerate your cultivation of expertise, deepen your impact, extend your reach and increase your profitability.
Which makes him the PERFECT guest for us photographers.
He also has thought-provoking words to live by on his about page which I'm looking forward to exploring – things like…
Conversations first, automation later. Resist premature automation at all cost.
Do not make long-term financial decisions based on what is happening with a single client – (I love this one which many photographers are guilty of!)
And
Profit over revenue.
There is so much more so let's dig in!
Here’s some more of what we cover in the interview:

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes reviews and it's always a buzz to receive these… for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and ultimately a better show.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you!
If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.
Alternatively, if you've left a review for PhotoBizX and are looking for more backlinks to help your SEO, leave a review for the new Photography Xperiment Podcast and email me your keywords or keyword phrase and where you'd like me to link to.
