As a designer and strategist with over seven years of experience in the industry, I completely understand how important it is to make sure you’re putting your brand’s best foot forward. Being a service provider who makes a living pouring into the brands and businesses of your own clients through your design work, it’s so crucial you’re practicing what you preach.

But how often do you go months and months and maybe even years not updating your own website, print collateral, portfolio, etc., and as a result end up sending potential clients to an outdated visual brand of your own work?

That stinks right? And it’s never a good feeling. It reminds me of that old idiom that says: the cobbler’s children have no shoes.

I think no matter what industry you’re in—whether you’re a social media manager, event planner, photographer, you name it—it’s so easy to pour so much time, talent and energy into our client’s businesses, while unintentionally neglecting our own.

Over the years, I’ve found a few ways to schedule time to work on my own brand as a designer without sacrificing the amount of time or quality of work I do for my paying clients. And I want to teach you what I’ve learned.

Designer Strategy Chats: How to schedule time to work on your own business

Introducing the latest installment of the Designer Strategy Chats series. This is a pitch-free live-training webinar series where I guide fellow brand designers and strategists through actionable education, live Q&A, and heartfelt encouragement designed for you to uplevel your brand design and strategy business through my own seven years of experience in the industry.

This month, join me on February 21st at 10:30am CST for this month’s free webinar training all about how to schedule time to work on your own brand as a brand designer and strategist.

Four ways to create time in your calendar for YOU

In this action packed live training, I’ll share four ways you can create time within your own calendar to pour into your business and elevate your own visuals without sacrificing the amount of time and energy you have to pour into those that you serve.

If you constantly find yourself wrestling with an outdated portfolio, struggle to fit time in your schedule to update your own website, or you know you’re ready for a rebrand but don’t know how to make that happen, then this is a live training you won’t want to miss.

Join me as we walk through four ways to easily carve out time in your own calendar to pour back into your own brand.

What You’ll Walk Away With

At the end of this live training you’ll walk away with:

• an action plan with how to elevate your own brand even during busy seasons.
• how to pour back into your business even when you feel like you’re constantly spinning your wheels pouring into those you serve.
• the clarity and confidence you need in order to get excited about putting your brand’s best foot forward time and time again.

If this sounds just like the free live-training session you’ve been looking for, then come hang out with me on February 21st at 10:30am CST as we dive into an open and honest conversation about how you realistically can carve out the space in your calendar to take your own visuals to the next level (even if that’s something you’re doing full time for other brands!)

We’re going to have a ton of fun in this month’s Designer Strategy Chat. I’ll share my best advice and my most actionable encouragement and I’d love to hang out with you there!

If you feel this is just the training you’ve been looking for, carve out that time on your calendar, snag your seat below and I can’t wait to see you then.
