643: Nik Buttigieg – The Low-Pressure Strategy Filling His Studio With Ideal Clients

Nik Buttigieg’s business has transformed dramatically since the last time he was on the podcast. Back then, he was running sessions out of a tiny room in a caravan in regional WA. Today, he’s built a thriving portrait studio in Albury, with staff, systems, a full shooting and sales setup, and revenue pushing the $600K mark — with his eyes firmly on seven figures.

What’s most interesting isn’t just the growth, but the shift in how Nik thinks about marketing, client experience, and his role as a business owner. You can hear it in everything he says. He’s simplified, doubled down on what matters, opened up his offer, and stopped trying to pre-qualify his way to better clients. Instead, he’s engineered a studio experience that gets people through the door — and lets the work do the heavy lifting.

In this episode, Nik shares what’s been behind that shift, the mindset changes that unlocked his momentum, and how he’s built a studio that feels both profitable and sustainable — even with a newborn at home and a calendar packed with sessions, sales, and phone calls.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like when all the pieces finally click, this is a must-listen.
