Manage episode 521187527 series 3377918
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.
