355: Power Talk Friday: LuAnn Nigara: Crush The 4th Quarter Of 2018

Are you ready to crush the last quarter of 2018? And are you really ready to make this the very best quarter of this year? Well, if you're the rare designer who is deciding to act, rather than to stay with the status quo, and to do, rather than wish, today's show is just for you! We have two very specific opportunities for you, and two different ways that we're making it possible for you to be the best you can be. Listen in now to find out how to take your game to the next level. The first opportunity is the second stop on the Power Talk Friday Tour. (It's happening on Saturday 13th October 2018 in High Point, North Carolina.) For the High Point tour, Luann has gathered some of the new Power Talk Friday experts including Claire Jefford (#325 and #237), Stacey Brown Randall (#93) and Michele Williams (#137 and #180). The second opportunity is the two masterminds that Luann is offering, Foundation and Transition. Listen in to find out more. Show highlights: On the tour, Claire will be talking about managing client expectations, something fundamental to running a successful project. Pinpointing the challenges that tend to come up with new projects. Most problems with new projects are rooted in something that wasn't clear in the initial agreement. Claire will walk you through the best practices for setting up your project to succeed. Stacey has proven techniques for building your pipeline through referrals- without asking your clients for them. Stacey is a business coach with a recently-launched podcast called Roadmap To Grow Your Business. Stacey will teach you methods to attract new clients into your pipeline- immediately. Michele Williams, principal of Scarlet Thread Consulting, will also be with Luann on the tour. Michele coaches designers and window-treatment professionals on the financial methods and systems for running a profitable business. Michele is about to launch her new podcast, Profit Is A Choice.
