Let’s play 20 questions — design business style! In my waitlist survey for my new program Booked Out Designer, there was a spot to “ask me anything”, and the waitlist designers sent some amazing questions in. I have had about 100 people fill out this survey so far, and the questions are definitely influencing what goes into the course, but in addition to that… I want to tackle some of them right now on the podcast. 

 

Designers, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode! For those of you who aren’t designers (still LOVE you!), you’ll also enjoy this for tons of tips about running a service based business. We’re talking about things like the story of starting my business, tips for going full time, what to focus on early on in your business, what my workflow was like with clients when I first started, and so much more.
