  • Ben Everard - Three Lessons Learnt
    We met with Ben Everard to talk through three lessons learnt while starting up The Idea Bureau.
    We recorded this special edition of the Steadfast Collective podcast at New Adventures Conference 2019, we’ll be sharing our thoughts about the conference shortly!
    The Idea Bureau is a creative digital workshop focused on designing and building engaging websites, apps and digital services which have a positive impact on the world.
    So let’s jump into Ben’s three lessons.
    1) Plan your day.
    Maintain focus and flow on different elements of your business. Planning your day allows you to allocate time to business development and other important elements of running a digital studio.
    2) Understand your financials
    It’s important to have clarity around your current and projected financial situation so when opportunities or risk come up, that allows you to make an informed decision.
    3) Prioritise yourself
    When there’s an overwhelming amount of things you can do to impact your business, how do decide where to start? Ben talks about the effort impact scale, a way of measuring task which will have the biggest impact with the least effort.
    Thanks again to Ben for sharing his wisdom on the podcast. If you’ve been listening to the podcast regularly, why not share your key lessons with us in the comments, twitter or email us!
    We are Steadfast Collective; a team of passionate creatives based on the south coast.
