A beautiful member of our community reached out to ask us to cover this topic. They asked: "How do I find my first clients? The usual ways that people say work, don't work for me 😩"

This really pulled at our hearts because we remember all too well what it was like in the early days of establishing our design businesses with little to no contacts.

We were once running businesses where we had to actively search for clients. In the beginning stages of our businesses, we didn't have a consistent stream of work coming our way.

We had to take action.

Tune in to listen to what worked for us and how you can apply these ideas to your business today.

In this oh-so-crazy time of year, we want you to take a moment to pause, reflect, and set a clear intention for the year to come.

We know it's easy to rush a resolution with only a vague idea of what you want to make happen next year. But this is an opportunity you can't miss!

It's important to embrace this in-between time to really celebrate yourself and create momentum and excitement for the year ahead. Let us show you how we do it!

You may be thinking, how the heck do I take time off in my design business?

Whether it's planned or unplanned, you're gonna want (or need!) a break from your design business. Let's get out ahead of this and make a plan to ensure you can take a break and feel REALLY good about it.

We believe taking time off isn't a 'nice to do' thing, it's a 'must do' thing—it is an essential part of your business health and success. And we're not talking about half-hearted holidays where you have one toe in your business and one toe in the ocean.

We would love to see you implement a business structure that allows you to completely down tools and switch off for several weeks at a time.

This non-negotiable time off is your chance to reset, fill up your cup with new creative energy, and if necessary, heal your mind and body.

Because without a priority on your wellbeing, you won't have a viable business for long.

Enjoy this episode, we hope it inspires you to take some time off soon. 🤗

With love Kris & Donna xo

Oh no! You're scrolling social media, checking your emails or just happily out and about in the world and you see it. Your client has gone DIY with your design, and they've done it badly. It devalues their branding, reflects poorly on your business and it's just....well...it's butt-ugly. What are they thinking? And more importantly, what can you do?

It's the feedback none of us want to hear - the client isn't happy with our design. What do you do now? First of all, don't panic, all is not lost! It's always disappointing when you've put your heart and soul into a project, but if you manage your emotions, you may find the solution is much simpler than you think. Often a small tweak or even just better communication will turn that no into a yes! And believe it or not, sometimes the client is right! The most important thing is to not take it personally, keep your ego in check and work through the solutions until you find the right one for converting your unhappy client into a happy one.
