There are certain projects I always say no to - not because of "red flags", not because they're TERRIBLE clients and not even because they're not potentially good projects... But because they're not my perfect people and they're not the most aligned clients I could work with. And it's important to me to say no to the "not-quite-there" projects, so I can say yes to the "oh-my-god-this-is-the-most-amazing-project" clients!I'm sharing the kinds of enquiries that could seem fine on the surface, but that I've learned aren't the best for me. These are the projects that I have found aren't best to keep my processes, my schedule and my creativity as peaceful as possible.Whether you're in a season of trying to say yes to everything or learning to hold your own boundaries with clients, I hope this episode reminds you that saying no is a powerful part of building a sustainable, spacious creative business.In this episode, I mention my Free Workload Wake-Up Call Calculator!

Because the truth is: your uniqueness is your superpower... but you have to know how to define it, share it, and shout it as loud as you can!

In this episode, I'm diving into a conversation about pricing, but not in the way you might expect. This isn't just about making more money. It's about how undercharging impacts your energy, creativity, and day to day experience in your business.You'll hear why pricing too low doesn't just affect your income - it affects your confidence, your client relationships, and even your love for your work.

Have you ever thought about how we as humans bring so much uniqueness to our businesses - our experiences, our successes, our failures, our skills and struggles, our goals and versions of success... Yet we're often given the same steps to follow to get to where we want to be.As a mentor (and as a designer!), I love to bring more human-ness into the businesses of the designers I work with and I'd love to share some of my favourite lessons that I have learnt as I've tried to build my business with myself as a key focus.

When it comes to consistency, we're told that this is a MUST DO in business. From consistent marketing (you have to post on Instagram five times a week, you have to create more video content, you have to engage with your audience every day), to showing up consistently (you should be working on your business every week, you should join more programs, you need to work on more passion projects) - we know consistency is a must.But what we're not told as much, is that you get to choose what consistency looks like for you. If your business is unique and your goals are unique, we will all also have a version of consistency that helps us reach those goals that are perfect for us and fit with our time, energy and creativity!Yes, consistency is so important. Because the consistency we can control (like marketing, visibility, engagement, development) helps us build consistency in the areas we have a little less control over (like monthly income, lead generation, project bookings and sales).So in this episode, I'm sharing some tips to help you find and develop what consistency can look like in your own business, so you can ignore the advice that isn't relevant to you!I really hope you enjoy the episode!

I'm jumping into money chat this week and pairing it with my other favourite topic - confidence! Confidence and money are so wrapped up in each other and it can be so hard to set your pricing, quote your pricing, and raise your pricing, confidently.It sometimes feels like you're just plucking numbers out of thin air, seeing what other people charge and following the lead or even just agreeing to whatever your clients say their budget is. But being more confident with your pricing allows you to reach higher, dreamier income goals which can support so many other goals.I really hope you enjoy the episode!

I haven't chatted about money for a while so I wanted to share an episode about pricing! In the past, I've told myself so many things that I assumed were true about pricing - all of which stopped me from raising my rates and working towards my bigger income goals. As soon as I took control over my thoughts about pricing, I started to feel more confident and comfortable with pricing and could easily raise my prices (even tripling at times!)I hope you enjoy today's podcast and head to the links below to connect with The Daring Designers Club more:Follow Me On InstagramSign Up for My Fortnightly PostcardJoin the Free Community Hosted on Acast.
