Mollie Salazar is a wedding and family photographer moving from Texas to Florida and she's got tons of lead time! The stressor is that Mollie is the primary breadwinner for her family of 4 - including some expensive teenagers.

At the time of this recording, she'd already done a scouting trip (episode 10!), started blogging for the new location and already booked her first FL wedding!

So what did she need us for? Not much! She's gotten a massive start as we always preach, but there's a few more things to keep the dominoes tipping her favor:

• Start collaborations with local vendors
• Double her prices
• Get wedding planners on her side
