Alissa Randall is a dynamic headshot photographer who shifted from the corporate world to running her own business in her 50s. She shares how she turned a significant career setback “I was sad for 10 minutes” into a triumphant pivot by launching All About Headshots and later expanding with her heartwarming PupShots. She says a layoff “pushed me to chase my passion for photography,” and she shares tips on having a great photo shoot, the confidence-boosting power of tailored clothing and personal color preferences, and her expert tips to help clients relax and enjoy their sessions.

We both share our personal journeys of leaving corporate jobs to seize control of our professional lives, highlighting the financial and emotional rewards that come with entrepreneurship. Alissa offers valuable insights into overcoming imposter syndrome, the significance of a professional online presence, and the crucial role of supportive communities and networking in achieving personal and professional growth.

How do you not sound cheesy or salesy on video? It's all about shifting your mindset from selling to teaching. If you've ever worried about coming across as a pushy salesperson, I totally get it—you're probably recalling those overly aggressive pitches we've all seen. But here's a tip: focus on delivering educational content. If you're curious to learn more about creating engaging videos, feel free to connect with me on Instagram, LinkedIn, or my YouTube channel!

In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn:

• Focus on Content Quality: Instead of pushing your product, think from a content perspective. Educate and provide value to your audience first.
• Reframe Your Mindset: You're only salesy if you're aggressively selling. Transition from selling to teaching.
• Educate & Entertain: Ensure your content is informative and entertaining. Make the audience feel something rather than just hearing a pitch.
