Instead of blaming the market, he rebuilt with small changes that had a big impact and this episode walks through exactly how he did it. You'll learn: Why adapting your portfolio to show risk instead of safe work attracts better clients How to diagnose when your business model has stopped working (and what to do about it) The specific positioning shift that took Chris from stuck to fully booked with luxury destination weddings Why taking ownership of your business problems is the only way forward when the market shifts
