Did I catch your eye with this controversial blog post title? If so, welcome! I’m glad you’re here for my hot take on why you should stop listening to all the “experts.”

Now, am I telling you to ignore EVERY expert out there? Of course not!

Rather, I’m here to help you tune into the right experts—the ones who can propel you towards your own, unique definition of success—and ignore all the others who don’t have your best interests at heart.

Curious where I’m going with this? Keep scrolling, friend!

WHY IT’S TIME TO STOP LISTENING TO EXPERTS

Over my years as a designer, strategist, and coach for designers, I’ve seen so many entrepreneurs take all sorts of frantic steps based on the input or advice of well-meaning “experts.” They launch blogs, podcasts, and YouTube channels. They create opt-ins to grow their email lists and trip wire products to make passive income. 

Is that wrong? No! 

But I believe that following the advice of blogs, podcasts, or Pinterest pins can only take you so far. 

Think about it, friend. These experts, the ones telling you what you “should” be doing and how you “should” be doing it in order to grow and scale your business, are sharing what worked for them in their own businesses, and perhaps a handful of their own clients. But each and every business (and person!) is so unique. This advice has NOT been tailored to who you are, what your unique goals may be, or how you do your best work. Just because it’s worked for someone else does NOT necessarily mean it will work for you, too—and that is perfectly okay!

Friend, do you want to know something I did back in 2012 that completely changed the trajectory of my business?

I STOPPED LISTENING TO THE WRONG PEOPLE.

There are plenty of business gurus out there who believe the key to getting more clients and making more money is to simply hustle harder. In reality, this translates to working longer hours, adding more projects to your plate, and fighting to be seen by your ideal clients.

Friend, I just cannot get on board with that approach. Going “all in” all the time is simply a recipe for burnout, nothing more.

Now, I used to believe that success happened in the hustle. At one point, I believed that in order to earn more I had to do more. But, by leaning into that approach, I unintentionally put myself on the fast-track to overwhelm and burnout. 

Rather than living in that disappointing season for too long, I decided to change. And, in that process, I discovered that it was entirely possible to build a successful brand design and strategy business—one that makes good money and connects with my ideal clients—WITHOUT sacrificing all of my time or energy.

THE BUSINESS SECRET NO ONE IS TEACHING

Now, after all my early years of trial and error, I want to teach you how to do the same—because that dream is entirely achievable for you, too, friend!

Inside my free training for designers and branding professionals, I teach my three-part brand strategy blueprint, which is my exact approach to tripling your income WITHOUT taking on more branding clients.

This is a training that any branding professional will not want to miss!
