160: Building Profitability Into Your Design Business with Michele Williams

When I started my podcast journey in September of 2018, I knew I would only do it if I could have the time and resources to do it well and consistently. I have now wrapped up 3 full years of podcasting and this is the start of year 4. Thank you all for continuing to be willing to listen, share, and talk about the choices that make our businesses and lives profitable. I would love for you to leave a review of the podcast on your favorite listening device. I believe there is more to be done and uncovered – so cheers to the beginning of year 4 of Profit Is A Choice.

Topics Mentioned: 

• Review

• Profitability

• Strategic Plan

Key Thoughts:

• In episode 112 I shared 6 ways to remove overwhelm in your business. Two of my favorites are to stop and breathe, then focus on the next ONE thing. The other four ideas aren’t too shabby either. Michele (3:24) 

   

• Strategic plans are the conversation of the year for me. In episode 129 I share with you why you need one. Actually – I share 5 reasons you need one. Michele (8:48) 

   

• Reviewing a year like this really reminds me of the varied experiences in our industry and it allows me to think bigger than I might sometimes think on my own. It can do the same for you.  Michele (19:46)
