Episode 22 - This Is the Year Everything Changes

Photography Breakthrough Workshop Kickoff 2026

Happy New Year. Welcome back. It's Matthew Jordan Smith, and this is the Photography Breakthrough Podcast. It's a brand new year, and I have a feeling you are here right now because you're ready for something different, not just a new calendar, not just another resolution you'll forget by February, but real change, deep lasting, powerful change in your photography, in your business, with your confidence and with your life.

So let's start here.

This is your moment and I want to tell you something you may not have heard enough.
You don't have to keep doing it the hard way. You don't have to keep guessing.
You don't have to keep asking yourself, why is this working for others, but not for me? Because the truth is, it's not your fault.
You just haven't had the right guidance. Until now. That's why this January.

We're kicking off the year with a three day photography breakthrough workshop, and it starts soon. I made it just for you because you are tired of wondering where your next client is coming from. Because you know your work is worth it, but you're not sure how to charge more without losing people

Because you've done everything they said to do and it still doesn't feel like it's working.

I created this workshop because I've been where you are.

I've had those nights staring at the ceiling, wondering how I'll make it through another month, wondering if I need to quit wondering if my dream was just too big.

But I didn't quit and neither will you. Because you were called to this work for a reason. Because photography isn't just what you do. It's who you are. And you know it deep in your soul.

You know you are meant to make people feel something when they stand in front of your camera.

So now let me help you build a business, a photography business around your gift. In this workshop, I'm going to show you the exact steps I use in my own career, not just in the past, but right now, today. Not theory, not guesswork, real tools, real strategy, real results.

Because you deserve to have consistent, happy clients who tell everyone about you. You deserve to charge what your work is really worth and feel good about it. You deserve to create a business that gives you freedom, not burnout. And you don't have to do it alone. You've been there.

And you know where that's taken you.

It is time to change going forward. I'll be with you every step, but you have to decide now to sign up and dedicate this year to being the year that changes everything because time moves fast because another year can fly by.

Because the only way this year looks different is if you make a different choice. So take a deep breath. Then go sign up right now for the three day Photography breakthrough workshop. It's completely free and it's waiting for you. The link is here in the show notes, and you can also find it on my Instagram.

Go there now and sign up. We start soon, and I want you to be there because you know you're ready. Let's make 2026 the year you stop struggling and start thriving in your photography. Let's build a photography business that you love. Let's do it together. I'll see you inside the workshop. It starts very soon, so sign up now.

All right. I've got a lot of work to do before we get started, so make sure you sign up right now and I'll see you in the workshop. Oh, and if you were on the last workshop. There's a lot that's new.

Number one. After each and every workshop, I want you to join me on the special Facebook page so we can ask the questions about that specific day. And prepare yourself for the next workshop.

This time, I want to hear from you. Sign up right now. I'll see you in the workshop.

Until next time. Bye for now.
