In this episode of Hustle Inspires Hustle, Alex Quin sits down with freelance graphic designer Ian Deloney to talk about his shift from working at Iconic to building his own design business. They explore the importance of combining creativity with solid business practices, the challenges of freelancing, and the power of long-term relationship building. Ian shares insights on client management, staying organized, and what it really takes to work with top-tier brands like Jägermeister and Target. This conversation offers valuable lessons for creatives who want to move beyond talent and build a sustainable, professional business.Episode Outline [00:00:00] Intro by Alex Quin – Introducing Ian Deloney [00:01:30] Catching up: Last meeting, shoutouts, mutual connections [00:03:45] Ian's exit from Iconic, launching his freelance design business [00:06:10] Ian's background in photography and creative roots [00:10:30] Transitioning from hobby to career: Finding the right major [00:13:00] The role of business knowledge in Ian's creative work [00:16:00] Alex's experience with content creation and its value in advertising [00:19:30] Ian's proudest recent projects: Jägermeister, SEEK, Kids Super [00:25:00] The impact of seeing work in real-life spaces like Target and billboards [00:28:00] The challenge of freelancing and staying flexible [00:31:45] The importance of relationship building over time [00:35:15] Client needs vs. creative vision: Putting ego aside [00:38:20] Key lessons from running your own business [00:42:00] Building infrastructure before going solo [00:47:00] Post-payment process: Staying organized and professional [00:51:10] Being dependable, not just talented [00:55:30] Common pitfalls among creatives [01:00:20] Final advice and mindset shift for freelancers [01:03:15] Ian's social handles and closing thoughtsWisdom NuggetsTalent Isn't Enough: Business Skills Matter : Many creatives over-focus on their art and neglect the importance of being organized and professional. Running a freelance business successfully requires business sense, clear communication, and client understanding—more than just good design.Don't Wait—Plant Seeds Early : Ian emphasizes that most of his current success comes from relationships and efforts made years ago. Creatives should build connections before they need them, not when they're desperate for work.Systems Before Sales: Prep for What Happens After 'Yes' : Freelancers often focus on winning projects but overlook what comes next. Having onboarding systems, case studies, and pitch materials ready improves credibility and client trust.Ego Kills Collaboration : Letting go of creative ego is key. Just because it's your favorite design doesn't mean it's right for the client. The best creatives learn to listen, adapt, and prioritize results over personal preference.Be a Joy to Work With : Reliability, speed, and professionalism can set you apart more than creativity alone. Clients want someone who respects their time, delivers on promises, and makes the process smooth.Power Quotes:"Case studies—even the small ones—are gold.” - Alex Quin"You have to be able to put your ego aside and do what's best for the client.” - Ian DeloneyConnect With Ian :Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/iandeloney/)Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/iandeloney/)Connect With the Podcast Host Alex Quin:Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/alexquin)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/mralexquin)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mralexquin)Website: (https://alexquin.com)TikTok: (https://www.tiktok.com/@mralexquin)Our CommunityInstagram:(https://www.instagram.com/hustleinspireshustle)Twitter: (https://twitter.com/HustleInspires)LinkedIn: (https://www.linkedin.com/company/hustle-inspires-hustle)Website: (https://hustleinspireshustle.com)*This page may contain affiliate links or sponsored content.

Do you find yourself mentally "switching hats" between your creative work and business tasks? Have you ever felt that business systems somehow constrain your creative freedom? You're certainly not alone. In this episode, I explore what happens when we stop seeing business and creativity as opposing forces and instead allow them to genuinely enhance each other. I share real examples of creative business owners who have applied their creative thinking to pricing, client relationships, business systems, and more, discovering that true success comes not from compartmentalising, but from bringing their creative sensibility to every aspect of their work.   Key Moments: [04:07] The false dichotomy between creativity and business that limits creative entrepreneurs [08:35] How approaching business decisions as creative opportunities transforms results [14:19] Why well-designed business structures actually enhance creative freedom rather than restrict it [16:39] The powerful shift in client relationships when you apply creative thinking to every touchpoint [20:25] Transforming your pricing and business model to authentically reflect your creative approach [24:41] The integration mindset: using your existing creative strengths in business decisions [28:45] The natural confidence that emerges when your business truly reflects who you are   Notable Quotes: "When I stopped trying to be 'business-like' in a way that felt foreign to me and instead brought my design sensibility to every aspect of my business, everything got easier. Not because the work became less challenging, but because it all finally felt like mine."   Resources Mentioned: Read: This Week's   Full Journal Post Subscribe to our Weekly newsletter The Base Notes Handbook: Join The Waitlist Survey Ref: 2024 SalesForce survey on customer experience Survey Ref: McKinsey study on personalisation and revenue Website: www.philippacraddock.com Email: news@philippacraddock.com    Share Your Insights: Where do you currently feel a disconnect between your creative work and business aspects?

Podcast Description Summer may be slow for some, but smart school owners know it's no time to go silent. In this episode, Duane and Allie sit down with longtime marketing partner Gus Lopez from Lead Hunter Media to dive into why consistent marketing—especially through social media—is essential during the summer months. Discover the psychology of momentum, the real cost of going quiet, and why visibility now pays dividends in the fall. Whether you've got 10 students or 300, this episode is your roadmap to thriving through the summer. https://youtu.be/osfmpM6Neok Key Takeaways Momentum matters: Halting marketing kills momentum—consistency builds compounding results. Summer is a visibility opportunity: While others pause, your brand can rise above the noise. Your competitors aren't just other schools: Sports, camps, and screen time are all competing for your students' attention. Social media ROI is long-term: Stop judging performance by one month—review it across 12. Follow-up systems make or break success: Most leads fail due to poor follow-up, not bad targeting. Daily marketing matters: Whether it's emails, push notifications, or SMS, consistency drives results. Price determines growth potential: You need to charge enough to afford proper marketing. Your job isn't done at the click: Ads introduce you—the sale comes from your next step. Action Steps for School Owners Audit Your Summer StrategyAsk: Are you showing up where your prospects are? Are you sending a consistent message? Keep Running Ads Year-RoundDon't fall into the trap of seasonal marketing—build brand awareness constantly. Improve Your Follow-UpSet up automated texts, emails, and personal outreach (at least 7 touches over 12 days). Invite and Message Post EngagersOn platforms like Facebook, follow up with people who like your ads but haven't opted in. Start Daily EmailsUse AI or write short benefit-driven messages that go out every day to your lead list. Evaluate Your PricingEnsure your tuition structure supports your goals and allows for a marketing budget. Think Long-TermTrack your ROI across 12 months—not 30 days. You're building a brand, not flipping a switch.

#562 In Today's Episode of the podcast I chat with YOU as I dive into your most pressing photo questions. I take listener-submitted questions and share advice, stories, and practical strategies based on my own experiences as a photographer. Whether you're wrestling with when to put a signature or logo on your images, trying to wrangle energetic kids during a family session, or feeling overwhelmed by all the technical settings on your camera, I'm here to help you navigate those common hurdles.KEY TOPICS COVEREDSignature & Logo Usage on Photos - Raymond explains when photographers should (and shouldn't) add their signature or logo to images, distinguishing between branding needs and concerns over theft. He notes that landscape photographers may benefit more from signatures due to wider image use, while portrait photographers often don't need them unless for advertising.Managing Kids in Family Photography - The episode offers strategies for keeping young children engaged during sessions, such as making games out of posing or incorporating playful pranks to elicit natural smiles and genuine interaction. These methods lower stress, capture better moments, and leave clients happier.Tackling Technical Overwhelm and Regaining Enjoyment - Listeners struggling with camera settings (like manual white balance, exposure, or composition) are advised to simplify their process—using presets, prioritizing aspects like “moment” over technical perfection, and even shooting for fun with fewer controls, as with film or point-and-shoot cameras, to restore joy.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSWhite Balance: A camera setting that adjusts color temperature to render whites correctly under different lighting conditions, measured in Kelvin.Client Closet: A collection of clothing offered by a photographer for clients to use during shoots.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhy might you choose to add (or not add) your signature to your images?How can playful interaction with children change the outcomes of a photo session?In what ways do issues of confidence versus competence appear in your creative process, and how can you address them?What steps could you take today to get more photography clients, inspired by Raymond's strategies?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!
