180: How to Build a Design Business That Won’t Drain You

Designer friends, this is for you! If you’re feeling drained by your business or wanting to AVOID feeling drained in your business, these strategies I’m sharing will help. I’m going to teach some mindset tips, some super practical working with client tips, and even some marketing and productivity tips that will help you not be drained (or at least not as drained) by your business because you’re focused on the right things. These 4 tips are all very particular things that have helped me in my business, some literally right now and others in past seasons of my business. If you’re not a designer, but work with clients in another way, listen up as well, there is plenty in this episode for you as a lot of what I’m sharing relates simply to businesses that work with clients. I hope this episode encourages you wherever you’re at right now and pushes you towards taking action in your business to create a business you LOVE.
