Nicky Peterkin Morong of www.peterkinfinancial.com is a certified financial planner at Peterkin Financial – where she is the owner and CEO. In this interview, Nicky shares how to set and achieve your financial goals as a professional photographer.
I heard about Nicky from Premium Member and listener, Alana Taranto who said…
Nicky would be an excellent fit for one of our occasional non-photographer interviews.
She's developed a program for service-based businesses to help maintain financial security.
She's super smart and has a fantastic and aspirational story. She doesn't work like most other financial advisors – she does values-based planning, which I feel would be a good fit for photographers.
I learned Nicky provides personalised financial planning and advice to individuals, families and small business owners to help achieve their goals.
She's also the author of the book… If You Love Your Family, Save Like It – which is available on Amazon.
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.
The best bang for your buck is to figure out how to optimize your expenses, cut back there and then maintain that, like maintain your systems as you do grow and scale. – Nicky Peterkin Morong
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.
Another great way to get a backlink to your site is to send a video testimonial. It doesn't need to be fancy and your phone will be perfect. Click record and tell me how PhotoBizX has made a difference to you and your photography business.

★★★★★ Absolutely Instrumental in Photography Business Growth
In Apple Podcasts by Orange County wedding photographer, Brianna Shrader from the United States on March 31, 2021.
I cannot even begin to express how much I have already gained from listening to this podcast and implementing what I have learned.
I became a premium member pretty early on, and after listening to just a couple of episodes, I have learned so much that I've actually had to stop myself from listening further so that I can focus on implementing what I am gaining!
This podcast led me to find a business coach that is helping me take my business to the next level – and if not for this podcast I would have never found him.
I have been in business for over 7 years, I studied photography in college and received my degree in Photography, I have taken several online coaching courses, attended seminars, you name it… Nothing has been as instrumental in growing my business as this podcast.
If you're a photographer and you're not listening to this podcast… you just have no idea what you're missing!
