Learn How This Money Maker Tripled Her Income In Less Than a Year! with Summer Adams and D'Arcy Benincosa on The Play It Brave Podcast

If you’re not dreaming of tripling your income this year, then put that on your vision board right now and hit play.

This episode is three parts. In part one I announce some big things coming in 2022 that you’ve all been waiting for. Part two is my standards for this year that I think you should implement in your life as well. And finally part three is the premiere of a new series called the Money Maker Series where I spotlight amazing creatives who are killing it and we talk about the strategies that brought them to where they are!

As the first episode of the Money Maker Series, I could not be more excited to introduce you to Summer Adams. Summer joined my Self Made Phase 1 Mastermind in the Spring of 2021 and since then she has tripled her income from $40k to $120 in less than a year! In this episode we chat about what shifts she made to get her on the path of wealth and abundance. YOU can take these 10 strategies and implement them in your business too! Listen in to learn how.

My New Standards for 2022:

Stop setting goals and start setting standards!

  • Wake when the sun wakes.
  • Don’t tolerate friendships that aren’t reciprocal.
  • Realize when something isn’t working.
  • Read a book at night instead of being on your phone.
  • Don’t bring anything from last year into this year.
  • Don’t worry about being disliked – take a chance and be yourself.
  • There’s no need to document and share your whole life.
  • Simplify! Clear your life of things you don’t need. You can’t bring new in unless you clear out the old.
  • Take the time to nourish your inner child so that you can focus and get work done when needed.

Money Maker Spotlight: Summer Adams

Summer Adams is a distinguished fine art wedding photographer serving classic and stylish couples in the Carolinas.  

With over a decade of experience in both photography and customer service, it’s no wonder Summer so easily creates a relaxed and stress-free experience for her clients.  Her expertise in both fields crafts something that is truly one of a kind, keeping powerful testimonials rolling in and forever clients coming back for more.  

Summer’s work has been featured in Glamour & Grace and Aisle Society, among others.

10 Shifts to Make More Money:

  1. Have 3 tiers of offers
  2. Present your highest offering first on proposals
  3. Add-ons are a great way to boost your income (think albums, prints, videography, etc. if you’re a photographer)
  4. Get on the phone so you can make a connection and give them a taste of what it would be like working with you
  5. Be clear on how your offer is more luxury than whatever else is out there
  6. Raise your prices every 10 projects that you do – you’ve put in more time mastering your art, which is worthy of higher prices
  7. Write out 25 Reasons why people should hire you to help guide your confidence when raising your prices and hopping on calls with potential clients.
  8. If you believe you can make money, you will. It’s about your own confidence and clarity.
  9. Multiply your time (and income) by not doing everything yourself – outsource!
  10. Look at what your gifts are and create your offer around your gifts. Know and love what you sell and it WILL sell!

If you’re ready to achieve exponential growth like Summer did, then Self Made is for you! Learn more about this highly renowned mastermind experience.
