As a creative business owner, it’s crucial to regularly check in with your practice to ensure you’re on the right track toward success. One effective way to do this is by asking yourself a few questions every week which can help you identify areas for improvement, celebrate your achievements, and maintain a healthy balance between your personal and professional life. There are so many ways that you may not be allowing your business to flourish to its full potential if you aren’t regularly reflecting on what is working for it and what is not.
Today, I’m sharing with you the 7.5 essential questions that you should be asking yourself weekly to supercharge your design practice and boost both productivity and profits as well as your own joy and creativity. These questions touch on the importance of delegation, assembling a stellar, cross-trained team, and concentrating on your zone of genius to avoid burnout and cultivate a thriving creative business. Taking the time to implement these good practices in a weekly reflection will help you to find your flow and allow it to carry you to new heights in your business where you are excited and connected in everything you do.
