Most design business owners plan for the new year without actually reviewing the one they just had. And that’s a mistake. In this episode, I walk you through how to audit your design business before the new year so you can make smarter, more confident decisions that actually move you forward. Whether you’re a freelance designer, brand and web designer, or growing a small studio, this process will help you understand your numbers, refine your offers, and realign your goals for real growth.
You will learn:
- How to review your finances and see where your profit really comes from
- What to look for when evaluating your client projects and offers
- How to streamline your systems so you can save time and reduce chaos
- Why clarity matters more than setting random goals
- How to set aligned goals that fit the kind of business you actually want
Grab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to bring strategy and clarity into your next year.
And if you're tired of wasting time on invoices, tracking payments, or chasing overdue bills, check out FreshBooks. It’s the all-in-one invoicing and accounting software I use to stay organized and focus more on design - not admin.
