DAY FIVE: STAND IN YOUR MAGIC ✨ 5-Day Show Up Ch DAY FIVE: STAND IN YOUR MAGIC ✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge // Day 5 ✨ You made it—Day 5. And we’re ending with something powerful: 💭 You don’t have to be everything to everyone. Trying to please everyone will water down your work and wear you out. Today is about embracing the version of you that creates with purpose and leads with heart. This is your permission to lead with intention, not just availability. To speak to the heart of the work you love to do. To let your ideal clients see you—not just your photos, but your purpose. 📲 Today’s Story Prompt: Reintroduce yourself or share your “why.” ✔️ Why you do this work ✔️ What kind of sessions light you up ✔️ What values or experiences you bring into every session ✔️ What your dream client should know about working with you Show up honestly. What speaks to your heart is exactly what will attract the people you’re meant to serve. 🤝 Connection Idea: Reach out to a fellow photographer today—encourage them, celebrate their growth, or simply say: “I see you.” Support isn’t a strategy—it’s a lifeline in this work. 🎯 June Kit Boost: Ready to move forward with intention? Use the New Openings or Booking Summer Dates templates to share a confident next step—clear, aligned, and full of heart. What’s one thing you’re no longer trying to be for everyone? And what part of your work are you fully owning from here forward? Drop it below 👇 #ShowUpChallenge #FocusForwardMindset #DayFiveMagic #AlignedMarketing #ShowUpWithHeart #PhotographerBranding #IntentionalBusiness
DAY FOUR: SPARK ENGAGEMENT
✨ 5-Day Show Up Cha DAY FOUR: SPARK ENGAGEMENT
✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge // Day 4 ✨ Today is all about interaction. The more you invite your audience to participate, the more connected they’ll feel—and connection builds trust (and bookings). 💭 Mindset Reminder:
Engagement isn’t just a metric—it’s a relationship. Your audience wants to feel included, not just marketed to. 📲 Today’s Story Prompt:
Post a poll, quiz, slider, or question box in Stories to spark engagement!
Need ideas? Try one of these:
✔️ “Which location would you choose for your dream session?” (poll with options)
✔️ “Summer or fall family photos—what’s your vibe?” (slider or poll)
✔️ “Ask me anything about sessions / booking / wardrobe prep!” (question box) The goal isn’t perfection—it’s conversation. Pick one and have fun with it! 🤝 Connection Idea:
Follow up with someone who’s been voting or reacting to your stories with…
“Hey! I’ve seen you pop up on a few of my stories—just wanted to say thanks for following along! Let me know if you ever have questions about sessions.” 🎯 June Kit Boost:
Use one of your custom stickers in today’s Story as a clickable call-to-action.
→ “Book Now”
→ “Contact”
They’re perfect for guiding your audience toward the next step once they’re engaged. 👥 Community Prompt:
What kind of engagement did you get today?
Drop a win in the comments—poll replies, DMs, sticker taps—we’re celebrating all momentum. #ShowUpChallenge #FocusForwardMindset #EngagementMatters #BuildYourBrand #ConnectionOverClicks #PhotographerMarketing
DAY THREE: SHARE A WIN ✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge DAY THREE: SHARE A WIN ✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge // Day 3 ✨ Today is about pausing to celebrate something that felt good. Big or small, recent or from way back—if it made you feel proud, connected, or more aligned with your purpose, it counts. 💭 Mindset Shift: “Celebrating yourself builds trust and credibility.” When you share what’s going well—even if it’s just one moment of progress—you give others a reason to believe in what you offer. 📲 Today’s Story Prompt: Share a win—whatever that means for you right now. Some ideas: ✔️ A happy client testimonial or kind message ✔️ A sneak peek or finished gallery you’re proud of ✔️ A breakthrough (like finally finishing your website or finding clarity in your brand) 🤝 Connection Idea: Reach out to someone who played a part in your win. ✔️ Thank a past client who left kind words ✔️ DM a mentor or creative friend who helped support or inspire you ✔️ Check in with a favorite client whose session still lights you up. 🎯 June Kit Boost: Use the Sneak Peek Template 👥 Community Prompt: Tell the group: What made this win feel meaningful or aligned for you? Let’s celebrate together—you deserve it. #ShowUpChallenge #FocusForwardMindset #ShareAWIn #PhotographerMarketing #CelebrateGrowth #BuildWithHeart
DAY TWO: LEAD WITH VALUE
✨ 5-Day Show Up Chall DAY TWO: LEAD WITH VALUE
✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge // Day 2 ✨ The best way to build trust? Give more than you take.
Today’s challenge is about sharing something your audience can benefit from—without asking for anything in return. 💭 Mindset Check:
Your knowledge, perspective, and heart are valuable—even when business feels quiet. When you show up to serve, people notice. And they remember. Today’s Story Prompt:
Share something helpful! 
Here are a few easy options:
✔️ A tip your clients always thank you for
✔️ A myth you want to bust 
✔️ An FAQ you can answer in a quick video or text slide 💌 Connection Idea:
Email your list or message a past client with a thoughtful reminder or helpful link. 
Need an idea? Share:
— Your favorite blog post
— Tips to prep for a session
— A personal story they’d relate to 🎯 June Kit Boost:
Use the New Blog Template from the Story Kit to share a blog post—add a bonus sticker to make it easy to click and read! Haven’t downloaded the June Kit yet, you can grab that over at www.focusforwardmindset.com 👋 Community Prompt:

DAY ONE: JUST SHOW UP ✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge DAY ONE: JUST SHOW UP ✨ 5-Day Show Up Challenge // Day 1 ✨ Today is about one thing: starting. Not perfectly. Not with a plan that took three hours. 👉🏻Just… showing up. 💭 Mindset reminder: “Done is better than perfect.” You don’t need to be in the middle of a session or editing a full gallery to show up with purpose. 🎥 Today’s Story Prompt: Record a quick story sharing what you’re working on this week. Here are a few ideas depending on your pace right now: ✨Fully booked? Show your calendar, talk about what’s coming up. ✨Editing mode? Show your screen, a sneak peek, or your workflow. ✨In a slow season? Share a goal you’re working on or a new idea you are planning out. The point is: let people in. Be visible. Let them see the heart behind the brand. 👋 Community Prompt: Introduce yourself in the comments! Tell us what you’re hoping to gain from showing up more this week—confidence, clarity, connection? Let’s cheer each other on. Let’s do this, Day 1 crew 🙌 #ShowUpChallenge #FocusForwardMindset #DayOne #PhotographerChallenge #DoneIsBetterThanPerfect #JustShowUp

✨ Gearing Up for June ✨ It’s almost a new m ✨ Gearing Up for June ✨ It’s almost a new month—and that means a fresh chance to reset, refocus, and realign. Let’s borrow a little inspiration from the keyboard, shall we? CONTROL – What can you actually control? Your mindset. Your effort. Your response. Start here. ALT – What alternative ideas, strategies, or offers can you explore? Sometimes a small pivot brings big momentum. DELETE – Outdated habits, cluttered routines, or tasks that drain your energy — clear them out. Just like Control + Alt + Delete helps reboot a frozen screen, this combo can help reset your focus and energy for the month ahead. 👉 Ready to really show up for your business this June? I’ve got something coming that will help you do exactly that—a free 5-day challenge designed to help photographers reboot their mindset and take action without burnout. ✨ Stay tuned—details drop soon! June is coming… how are you stepping into it? #FocusForwardMindset #JuneReset #PhotographerMindset #CreativeBusinessTips #MindsetMatters #ControlAltDelete #FreshStart #ShowUpChallenge #5DayChallenge
🎙️ Talk About It Tuesday: Imposter Syndrome 🎙️ Talk About It Tuesday: Imposter Syndrome Ever find yourself stuck in this loop? “Maybe if I changed my editing... Got a new lens... Posted more like her... Then I’d finally feel confident.” Photographers often ask: “What am I doing wrong that my work doesn’t look like theirs?” That question? It’s imposter syndrome in disguise—whispering that you’re always just one step behind. But here’s the truth: Confidence doesn’t come from constantly tweaking and chasing. It comes from trusting your voice, honoring your growth, and showing up—even when doubt creeps in. 💬 What’s one thing imposter syndrome has tried to convince you to change lately? #TalkAboutItTuesday #FocusForwardMindset #ImposterSyndrome #PhotographerConfidence #MindsetMatters #creativecomparison
