So when I started working with Erin, she was feeling burned out.
She did everything herself, from marketing, to client attraction, to the accounting and books, to purchase orders (or not which created a bit of a mess). She managed every aspect of every project and was starting at 7am every day and not turning the lights off till after 7pm. (and often much later.)
Her business was running her.
And even still only about 20% of her time was spent creatively in design while 80% was spent on the business of design.
UGH, that sucks. (And it's backwards!)
Now, I know there's a myth in our industry that 80/20 business/design is how you get successful.
I disagree and have both my business and that of countless designers I've coached out of that to prove it.
Did you really get into business so you could have your day devoured by everything except design?
Of course, not.
It's time for a change. And I'd like to help you make that change.
Whether you're feeling burned out, stretched thin, or just want to reclaim time from the jaws (it can be like a shark at times) of your design practice, you belong at my upcoming "Go Beyond Intensive."
You'll get my personal guidance, strategies, support, systems, and tools to shift your business from a place of frustration (whether it's lots of business or not enough) to a place of joy.
I want to put you in a place of looking forward to each day and not dreading it.
And, you'll also get a front row seat to the inside of a select group of designer's businesses. This is totally confidential and you'll get to learn from your colleagues and how they do business.
You'll also have my coaching support for 90 days after the "Go Beyond Intensive," that means I'll be working with you into your fourth quarter, creating an incredible finish to your year and set up for 2020.
You'll also get to look forward to the holidays knowing that your business is in a stronger and better place and you're doing far more of what you love and far less of what you don't love.
Take a look at the "Go Beyond Intensive" here. If you have questions, tap reply to this email and we'll schedule time for a quick call to get you answers.
I'm here for you, I'm here for your business, and I'm here to show you that you can have a design business you love whether you're just starting out or have been established for several years.
Design is changing, this is your opportunity to make the strategic shifts to support your success with someone who's been there, done that and teaches you what works and what doesn't.
Your business, a better way. Let's do this!
Mega Hugs,
Melissa
