Are you struggling to grow your design team?

Does hiring feel like a revolving door and it’s wearing you out?

The key is in the interview process, so you get hires that stick!

In addition to the points shared in the graphic, DO THIS.

Create a small test, less than an hour of time to complete and provide it to every candidate with a deadline.

See who turns it in the earliest (not just on time) and does it the best.

Let’s get real: are you working with clients who drain your energy, nickel and dime your work, or can’t make a decision?

That’s tolerating… and it’s costing you way more than you think.

In this week’s episode (107), I’m breaking down how tolerating the wrong clients, ineffective marketing, or even indulging in a pity party holds you back from true success.

👉 Here’s the thing: when you stop being selective, you start attracting more things to tolerate. And when you tolerate, you attract more of the same.

But guess what? You DESERVE BETTER! It’s time to step out of the lazy loop, stop tolerating, and start taking action toward the clients and business you want. 💪

Ready to break free from the “same old” and create positive momentum?

Have you ever fired a client?

In 30 years in my design business, I only had to do it 5 times.

But, each time I lost thousands of dollars, endured sleepless nights, and realized later, I didn’t have to go through that at all.

Creating a successful and profitable design busine

Creating a successful and profitable design business isn’t just about creativity; it’s also about having the right legal protections in place! There are three elements that you may be forgetting in yours:

1️⃣ Change Orders: Ensure there's a clause outlining how additional work or changes will be managed and billed to avoid surprises later.

2️⃣ Intellectual Property: Protect your designs by stating that all concepts remain your property unless agreed otherwise. This safeguards your work and ensures proper compensation.

3️⃣ Cancellation Policy: Clearly define the terms for cancellation, including how payments or refunds will be handled to protect both parties.

Set expectations upfront to protect your profit and your peace! ✨

PS - I’ve created an agreement template that checks all the boxes so you can run your business like a boss and not like a hobby. Leave me “agreement” in the comments if you want more info!
