The Entrepreneurial Pivot No. 2 with Michael Janda

Episode 330 Aired February 12, 2020. Do you want to know how to triple your Instagram following? Are you thinking of a second career, related to your first one but different? Do you understand how to use your strengths to help your clients and others in our industry? This week I am stoked to have Michael Janda. He is changing the way designers and creatives do business by changing the way they think about pricing and communicate with customers. He is an author, entrepreneur, and coach but started out as a designer at a copy shop. He knows where drive and determination can take someone. His story is full of hope He believes in being a leader that serves. Love on Designers is a way for us to love on, thank and appreciate the people who have helped us get where we are. We also spend time this month reaching out to encourage people around us who are starting out or getting their feet wet and may need some encouragement and love. Snap a photo and use the hashtag #loveondesigners when you post it. This week is Week 2 of LOVE ON DESIGNERS: This week I want you to ENCOURAGE others around you! • Create a post and share an encouraging word on social media specifically to someone who needs a lift. Tag them and use the hashtag #loveondesigners • Send an old-fashioned letter to someone who you know who has been killing it in our industry. • Direct message someone and let them know you have seen their work and know how much time and energy they have been putting into it and it isn’t going unnoticed.
