Do you have any advice for photographers who are struggling with the business side of things? I personally struggle with networking and selling myself to potential clients

If you're going to work as a freelancer then I'll have to find a workaround and become better self promoter.

When I was starting out and I had to call magazines to show my portfolio I would (in my mind) take on another persona so that I had the courage to pick up the phone and make the call.

There are a lot of photographers out there and you need to be proactive in getting your work (and yourself) seen. You can be super talented, but it won't matter if few people see hour work.
