The Mentor Project Podcast

The Mentor Project

Nicole Bruce
You know how when you start a photography / creative business a million webinars pop up and then you attend them and they're....super unhelpful? Like people are always trying to hide information? Well, The Mentor Project debunks that whole trend and gives you a reliable, all-in resource for anything business. My name is Nicole Bruce, and I am the CEO of one of the US's largest wedding photography companies. More importantly - I made this Mentor Project to help all business owners start and grow their businesses successfully. I made 6-figures my first year, and I want you to as well. This isn't some podcast where I brag about how I made millions overnight. These are real numbers with in-depth info about everything you need to start your successful photography or creative business, and everything you need to bring it to the next level. Right now, more than half of the businesses created fail within the first 3-5 years. Let's change that together. We'll talk about every topic you'll need to know with some spectacular guests. Topics include but definitely aren't limited to: SEO. Social Media. Marketing. Website design. Conversions. We'll talk about it all. For more information visit me at www.nicolebruce.co or join our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/418088955224196/. See ya soon!
