99. Project Management: Giving you the Freedom to Create and Grow with Annie Aldridge

Do you want to get out of the project management role and get back to designing? Wish you could have someone help you with tracking, backorders, re-selections, and scheduling. It is possible, and my next guest is here to explain how.   In this episode, she explains why outsourcing the non-creative parts of your business is the best option for continued growth. We also discuss the benefit of working with their team vs. hiring in-house and the importance of SOPs for work-life balance.   With 20+ years in many aspects of the interior design industry, Annie Aldrige and her team at The Designers Concierge are competent and ready to be of service. Annie believes in fostering a culture of collaboration, communication, and trust, to create an environment where everyone is free to create and grow. Think of TDC as your Design Companion.   Mentioned in this episode: Profit First and Clockwork by Michael Michalowicz The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare   Visit www.thedesignersconcierge.co to learn more and download Annie's free guide to the best ordering platforms for your business.
