Masterclass 2023

Are you ready for the strategy, coaching, community, and accountability to grow and scale your business?

In its 5th year, over 50 members have participated in The Photo Managers Masterclass program. The power of working with a small group of committed peers led by expert coaches has been revolutionary in their business development.

Based on the success, we realized it was time to add a second Masterclass opportunity based on where you are in your business. If you are in your first few years of business, now is the time to set your sights on growth. If you have an established business but are ready for more, now is the time for a strategic growth plan.

Are you ready to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be? Then read on to decide which program is right for you.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: October 1, 2022. We will be reviewing all applications and notifying members by October 15, 2022. If we have any openings we will resume taking applications and you’ll be notified within 7 days of acceptance. Class size is limited to 20.
