How I set goals for 2025

In this cozy, chatty video, I’m sharing my biggest goals for 2025! Whether you're looking for inspiration to set your own goals or are just a bit nosy (no judgment here 😉), this video is for you. We’re talking about my goals in three categories: YouTube goals, photography career goals, and life goal — plus my strategies to make them happen!

🧑‍🎨 ABOUT ME
Hey, I’m Katja! I’m a photographer & YouTuber who’s passionate about helping people grow their creative businesses. I live and work in Berlin, Germany, but like to travel to sunny places. After discovering my love for photography and turning it into a business, I’m now on a mission to inspire and teach others how to do the same. I always love to chat to you in the comments section.

Hi Katja, a video with how to create a small book or zine would be wonderful! Especially about the design, formats, paper, and where to print :=)

You have set a very aggressive and busy schedule for your 2025. Good luck with all of it, and do not get burned out.

First I imagine: "Dad, Mom, here's the law degree now I'm going to be a photographer"🤣 Second: I don't like goals, but photography is not my profession, so no pressure please 🤣🤣🤣

By the way, I saw the video where you talk about the difficulties at university...etc.

Two things - with your fitness goal, training for lifetime fitness is boring. Find a sport to play so that your training has a purpose other than to stay fit. You are more likely to stay with the fitness regiment if you are able to apply your fitness improvements into a sport that you enjoy - it gives your workouts meaning and an additional purpose. With regards to mentoring - if you are leaning towards doing that, then you should build that up in stages. There are quite a few YouTube photographers that also offer 1 to 1 mentoring. There's a bit of a process involved in becoming a mentor and building the required skillset needed to be a mentor would both give you more confidence as a mentor and will make the experience for your mentees more enjoyable. Word of mouth is a powerful form of marketing, and people will not be shy about telling others if they have a great experience or if they have a negative experience. When you have acquired the skillset and confidence, you will also feel confident about charging the market rate rather than a lower than market rate. It also gives you a chance to determine what your strengths as a mentor are so that you can play to those strengths appropriately.
