1 Define your purpose

One of the key factors of resilience is having a clear sense of why you do what you do. Your purpose is your motivation, your vision, and your values. It guides your decisions and actions, and helps you overcome obstacles. To define your purpose, ask yourself what you love about photography, what impact you want to have, and what goals you want to achieve. Write down your answers and review them regularly to stay focused and inspired.

Investing in a studio is a big step and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. I have owned my studio for four years and the one tool that I have to help guide the management of the studio has been my business plan. Typically this document is overlooked, especially if it's only regarded as paperwork to pursue capital with a bank. It took me some time to see the value in the business plan, but once I committed to writing one, it became a living document and a charter to define my why, my target audience, the mission, vision. Mine is probably much longer than most, however it's now serving as a historical document to help me see the business growth and changes over the last few years.

2 Cultivate a growth mindset

Another essential element of resilience is having a growth mindset. This means that you see challenges as opportunities to learn and improve, rather than as threats or failures. You embrace feedback, experiment with new ideas, and seek out new experiences. You also acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses, and work on developing your skills and knowledge. To cultivate a growth mindset, celebrate your progress, reflect on your mistakes, and ask for help when you need it.

One way I cultivate a growth mindset is by opening an annual studio journal. After every session, project or client, I spend a few moments jotting down thoughts and notes. If I made a mistake, I document it. I list lessons learned, what went well, what didn't, etc. And at the end of the year I review each journal to summarize the trends. A growth mindset is also acknowledging that you are never done learning. Schedule time to learn or network with others.

3 Build a support network

No one can succeed alone, especially in a competitive and demanding field like photography. You need a support network of people who can offer you advice, feedback, encouragement, and referrals. Your network can include other photographers, mentors, coaches, peers, friends, and family. To build a support network, reach out to people who share your interests and values, join online or offline communities, and collaborate on projects. And don't forget to reciprocate and help others as well.

"A rising tide lifts all boats." Some of my best opportunities have come from other photographers. Never discount the power of uplifting others.

4 Manage your stress

Running a photography studio can be stressful, especially when you have to deal with deadlines, budgets, clients, and technical issues. Stress can affect your health, mood, and performance, so you need to manage it effectively. Some of the ways you can manage your stress are: setting realistic and achievable goals, prioritizing your tasks, delegating or outsourcing when possible, taking breaks, exercising, meditating, and having hobbies.

5 Adapt to change

The photography industry is constantly evolving, with new trends, technologies, and demands. To stay relevant and competitive, you need to adapt to change and be flexible. This means that you are willing to try new things, learn new skills, and adjust your strategies. You also anticipate and prepare for potential changes, and have contingency plans in case things go wrong. To adapt to change, keep an open mind, research your market, and experiment with different approaches.

6 Recover from setbacks

Even with the best planning and preparation, you will inevitably face some setbacks in your photography studio. You may lose a client, break a camera, miss a deadline, or receive a bad review. These events can be discouraging and demoralizing, but they don't have to stop you from pursuing your goals. To recover from setbacks, you need to accept the situation, learn from it, and move on. You also need to maintain a positive attitude, focus on the solutions, and seek support if needed.
