Overcoming Circumstances with Heather Lahtinen

262 - Let’s get real: we all have responsibilities and obstacles that can make growing a photography business feel impossible. In today’s episode of the Freedom Focus Photography podcast, we’re looking beyond the typical “thought work” and addressing real-life situations that may be limiting your time and energy. Listen in as we explore how to challenge these circumstances, from busy schedules to self-imposed limits, and unlock a new level of freedom and productivity in your business.

What to Listen For:

• How to identify real-life obstacles versus self-imposed limitations.
• Strategies to increase your capacity for handling business complexity.
• The power of trusting your internal reserves to overcome challenges.
• Why believing that “I need energy to be productive” can hold you back.
• Personal examples of pushing through limitations, including managing kids and full-time jobs.
• How perfectionism can trap you into limiting your potential.
• Recognizing self-imposed restrictions that seem like concrete circumstances.
• Ways to reframe how you view time and energy in your business.
• How to stop letting circumstances dictate your productivity.
• Why some restrictions are actually thoughts disguised as reality

Your circumstances don’t have to dictate your success. Pushing past perceived limitations—whether they’re about time, energy, or any other restriction—is key to unlocking your next level.
