Dream Clients vs Your Business Niche

You may or may not know that I am currently on maternity leave as I’m having my first baby this month! As soon as I found out, I was straight into planning mode trying to figure out how I could fit maternity leave around my business and managing things like paying my bills and not leaving clients hanging.In this episode, I wanted to pull together all of my tips for taking an extended break, whether like me you’re planning to have a baby and want to get organised in advance or if you just want to fit in a longer break or holiday into your schedule. I think these will help for all scenarios! Even actually if you just want to take 2 weeks off to go on holiday (when that’s allowed again of course…).I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to connect with The Daring Designers Club more:     Join the Facebook Group!

Planning For An Extended Business Break

Over the past few years, I’ve experimented with quite a few different additional income streams including courses about design, coaching programmes both one to one and in groups, e-books, design elements, website templates, graphic templates and a few more - yes I’ve tried a lot of things!Because of the income streams I’ve added into my business, I’ve been able to cut down to working 3 days a week, I’ve been able to book fewer client projects at a time which saves me a lot of energy and time and I’ve also been able to dedicate some time to other areas which I’m passionate about like coaching and working with other designers. So let’s jump into a few different income streams you can add into your business to generate some additional money and help you hopefully work a little bit less!I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to connect with The Daring Designers Club more:     Join the Facebook Group!

Niching Your Design Business Into a Specific Industry w/ Chloe Ford

So for any service-based business, you are likely to run into some client issues along the way - it's perfectly natural for this to happen every now and then! But what do we do when we run into these issues? And is there a solution for the most common client problems?Before we jump into the advice I have for a few designer-specific client issues, it's important to know that most of the time and I don’t want you to take this the wrong way because I mean absolutely no offence at all, but these client issues and anything that goes wrong in a project - well it’s mostly our own fault!That's right... we're usually the problem! Now don’t worry because I’m sure you haven’t realised that the problem could be from your end but I have found time and time again, aside from a rare few which are possibly just not meant to be, the designer in the project could have done something earlier on or within their process to stop the issue occurring.I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to connect with The Daring Designers Club more:     Join the Facebook Group!

Common Design Client Problems (And How to Avoid Them!)

I’m talking today about something which haunted me for a while when I first set up my business and something I know a lot of designers feel a bit apprehensive about and that is sales calls!I know when I just started working with clients I dreaded jumping on any type of calls and would end up getting so nervous that I’m pretty sure they ended up being more of a hindrance than a help when it came to actually booking projects. But over time, I’ve managed to really build up my confidence and make sure that all sales calls were actually a benefit and a chance for me and my clients to get to know each other and make sure we’re a good fit for their project.I think face to face contact and having these calls are so important for any designer to be able to share their expertise with a potential client and so I would love to help you all feel even a little bit more confident on a call to help you book more clients and make sure they’re dream clients too!I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to connect with The Daring Designers Club more:     Join the Facebook Group!

How to Make Sales Calls Less Scary

Welcome to The Daring Designers Club! A club full of all sorts of designers from graphic designers to pattern designers to illustrators. If you’re listening, you are now a member! And listening along to the podcast you’re going to hear all about running a successful, sustainable design business which doesn’t just keep your bank balance happy, but also makes you a happy business owner. Sounds good right?

I’m talking today about something that people ask me about often which is booking up your schedule in advance! I think the reason people ask me quite often is that for the past few years, I’ve been regularly booked up in advance from anywhere between 2 and 6 months. At the moment, as I’ll be taking some maternity leave for a few months, I’m booking projects 6 months in advance and still managing to book clients for this time and it doesn’t put people off at all. Booking in advance isn’t about looking exclusive or making people wait, the two huge benefits to having a schedule and giving clients a certain time to work with you is, first of all, your workload can be much more organised which means you don’t overload yourself with too much work and you know exactly how many projects you can take on at any time. And then secondly, having a more organised schedule of clients means you can more accurately plan your income and it can also make it much more consistent for you - and isn’t that just a dream for some who is self-employed!I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to connect with The Daring Designers Club more:     Join the Facebook Group!

How to Collaborate with a Web Developer w/ Holly Pryce

In a few different episodes and through a lot of what I talk about in The Daring Designers Club, I mention working towards your version of success instead of anyone else’s. This for me is the best bit of advice I can give when it comes to avoiding comparison or getting stuck with what goals to work towards. But, what if you don’t know what your version of success looks like? This is perfectly possible and I myself have had periods in the past where I just keep on going and see how things go instead of figuring out	what my actual goals are and what I’m working towards.So today’s episode is going to be just that! We’re going to talk about how to find what your version of success would look like so you can plan your goals and get a really good idea of where you want to be in the next 2, 5 or even 10 years.Also, in this episode, I mention the amazing Sophie Cliff who works wonders for people trying to find a little more joy in their lives.

What IS Your Version of Success?

Being a 100% authentic business owner can be really difficult - it’s not like just being yourself as a person or showing your personality. It’s about making decisions in your business and building your business in a way that feels really comfortable and helps you reach any goals you have without compromising who you are and what feels like it will work for you. I feel very strongly that there is no one way to do things in any single business and the chances are one piece of advice will not fit for every business owner. If you’re a long term listener of the podcast, you’ll know that with everything I share, there are always caveats that you can listen to what I’m saying and then twist or mould it into a version of that thing which works for you and your business.So today, I really want to give you some tips on how you can stick 100% to being your authentic business owner self, make decisions which feel like a good fit and avoid any “noise” which doesn’t suit you.I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to find me and The Daring Designers Club:     Group Coaching       Join the Facebook Group!

How to Be a 100% Authentic Business Owner

I wanted to jump back into the podcast by talking about a topic I think about and talk about with coaching clients so much and one which I think can be really crucial to running a successful business and getting yourself to where you want to be and that is dream clients.Thinking about who your dream clients are, even if they’re huge, huge businesses or people who have hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, can really help you figure out how to run your business and can give you amazing foundations for how you present your marketing, your branding, your pricing, your portfolio, your content - basically every part of your business.I hope you enjoy today’s podcast and head to the links below to find me and The Daring Designers Club:     Join the Facebook Group!

Do You Know Who Your Dream Clients Are?

As we’re at the end of the year, I had to chat all things goals just like everyone else in the world right now! But now is a really good time to think about our goals for the year ahead because we’re winding down and thinking forward to where we would like to be this time next December.The reason I wanted to create this particular episode about goals which is making your goals achievable instead of overwhelming is that I have in the past been very good at setting goals which have actually been counterproductive because they feel too much. So I know exactly where I want to be but when I get it down on paper, I chicken out a bit and think it’s too much and then kind of give up along the way. So if you feel the same way, here are the tips I’ve found work best for setting your achievable goals which you can work towards without feeling overwhelmed.As mentioned in the episode, the waitlist for my group coaching program, Dare Together, is now open!

As we’re at the end of the year, I had to chat all things goals just like everyone else in the world right now! But now is a really good time to think about our goals for the year ahead because we’re winding down and thinking forward to where we would like to be this time next December.The reason I wanted to create this particular episode about goals which is making your goals achievable instead of overwhelming is that I have in the past been very good at setting goals which have actually been counterproductive because they feel too much. So I know exactly where I want to be but when I get it down on paper, I chicken out a bit and think it’s too much and then kind of give up along the way. So if you feel the same way, here are the tips I’ve found work best for setting your achievable goals which you can work towards without feeling overwhelmed.As mentioned in the episode, the waitlist for my group coaching program, Dare Together, is now open!

My Five Favourite Business Organisation Tools

I’m jumping into one of my favourite topics to talk about with coaching clients, other designers and actually anyone who is self-employed and that is the subject of boundaries. I very passionately believe that we as business owners should be in total control of first of all our businesses but second of all, the lives that we lead around our businesses.It can be so incredibly easy to let boundaries slide when you’re feeling under pressure or when you want to give a really good impression to your clients but in my experience, letting any form of boundaries fall out of place is a one way ticket to stress, overworking and burn out. All things which I’m pretty keen for us all to avoid!As mentioned in the episode, I’m currently booking my final one-to-one coaching slot to help designers with confidence, pricing, process, marketing and basically everything we talk about in these episodes!

Six Boundaries You Need to Avoid Business Burn Out

Thanks for coming back to listen to me talk all about design and running a design business! I’m super excited about today’s topic, it’s definitely one that I’ve mentioned before even with just the couple of episodes I’ve put out and something which can be really important when you’re thinking of taking things a bit more seriously or if you feel like you’re stuck in a rut with your business but you aren’t sure where the problems are or why you don’t feel like things are going as well as you wanted them to.So this is a great one to help with a bit of a mindset shift which I think is the main reason a lot of us hold ourselves back from our full potential and that is switching from freelancer to business owner.As mentioned in the episode, I’m currently booking my final two one-to-one coaching slots to help designers with confidence, pricing, process, marketing and basically everything we talk about in these episodes!
