Chris Gillett of www.liketherazor.com was first featured on the podcast for episode 158 in 2016, when he'd just gone full-time with his headshot photography business.
Before going full-time, he was a successful Lawyer, and at the time of recording, he sounded happy to have left that career behind.
At the time, he had three packages, starting at $300.
Check out his website today, and you will see the following…

* 3000+ happy clients
* 10 years experience
* 0% bullshit
* 100% client satisfaction

Not to mention the high-end, beautifully lit and varied headshots.
Interestingly, his pricing is lower today… and, you get more time allocated for your headshot photography sessions.
I asked this talented photographer and long-term business operator back onto the podcast… to hear an honest update on how things have played out over the last 10 years in business. The ups and downs, the wins and losses and most of all, the lessons he's learned to help you stick at it and grow your business successfully and, ideally, by avoiding a few mistakes along the way.
Here's some more of what we covered in the interview:

Following this interview, I’d love to know if you're taking anything from what Chris shared. Is there something you heard that excited or motivated you to the point where you thought, yeah, I'm going to do that! If so, leave your thoughts in the comments below; let me know your takeaways and what you plan to implement in your business based on what you heard in today's episode.
I can be picky and and so I found that the more specific I am about who I am, what I do, who I do it for, why I do it, it's kind of unintuitive, because you think, well, if I cast a bigger net, I'll get more stuff. And it's kind of the opposite. I guess the net has a lot of holes in it, because you want to like a spear and go, ‘nope, that one.' ‘I don't want that one.' ‘I don't want that one.' It gets me better clients.
