Today we talk about our top 11 tips to make sure your clients feel safe and secure in your process while allowing you to feel in control and empowered.

Working with a client on their vision is the ultimate creative collaboration—and if you are lucky enough and if your systems are strong enough—you'll have client relationships that will last decades.

The perfect client relationship is a combination of mutual like, respect and trust. The key ingredient pulling it all together is healthy boundaries! Love them or hate them, boundaries are a necessity. Boundaries eliminate angst, anxiety and chaos—keeping you sane and allowing you to get on with the juicy creative process and ultimately making money.

Whenever there's a problem in a graphic design business—whether it's directly to do with clients or not—like money flowing in consistently, getting paid on time, or clients not liking what you've created—there's usually a system flaw somewhere in your business.

We take a close look at the key 11 areas to look at if you have ongoing client issues.

Let's get into it—press play.

Today, we are talking about money, money, money and getting paid!

To be paid what we are worth we need to price our work appropriately. But, oh goodness, pricing our work is such a big issue for so many designers.

It all starts with understanding the power of 'you', that transformation value that only you have, that 'wow factor' that comes from your unique offering. It's a collection of your experience, your talent and your vision. It's your intellectual property—your MOST VALUABLE asset.

We discuss ways to embrace your worth and truly believe that money is not a dirty word! Be brave, talk about it, ask for it, receive it, you are worthy!

Let's do this together—press play.

In today's episode, we discuss the importance of a Graphic Designer working with a business coach and the results that can be achieved.

Maybe you are struggling with isolation, or committing to your goals and showing up consistently. You might need a sounding board to float new strategies or business systems. The list goes on…regardless of your challenges, it's so important to have a coach or a mentor in your corner to hold you accountable. The most beautiful reward that comes from engaging a business coach is that their hindsight becomes your foresight.

With a good coach, you'll learn what not to do, what steps aren't worth taking and what to do. It's about getting results faster, and getting more ease into your business—and we LOVE ease in business.

Welcome to the design and prosper podcast. We are Kris and Donna and this is our very first episode—how to love your graphic design business.

We've been graphic designers and educators for the past two decades and have both run multiple six figure graphic design businesses. We have experienced it all—the highs and the lows of success. We want to share with you, the good, the bad, and the messy. All the tips and secrets, the bits that worked, the bits that didn't to help you create a thriving and profitable Graphic Design Studio.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of being YOU in your business. We believe there has never been a better time to be a graphic designer in business. Right now, you get to be exactly the kind Graphic Designer you always dreamed of being—doing exactly the kind of work that inspires you and lights you up.

With an entrepreneurial mindset, setting boundaries and creating the right systems to support you—there will be nothing stopping you.
