5 Ways to Protect Your Time as a Designer

August 13, 2020

Let’s get one thing straight, friend. Running your own business can be lonely at times, but that doesn’t mean you have to walk this journey alone! During a season where we’re spending more time at home, isolated from family and friends, it’s important we cultivate connection so we can lift one another up.

Which is just one of the many reasons I am SO EXCITED for the new community for designers we’ve created just for YOU!

I used to believe that success happened in the hustle. I believed that in order to earn more, I had to do more. But I unintentionally put myself on the fast-track path to burnout and overwhelm. Can you relate? Here are 5 ways to protect your time as a designer. | b is for bonnie design #fordesigners #brandstrategy

Why You Need to Protect Your Time

Here’s the thing, friend. When I first started my design business back in 2012, I made the mistake of listening to the “experts.” You know the type, the well-intending educators and entrepreneurs who are telling you all the things you should do in order to achieve success.

They believe the key to getting more branding clients ( and making more money!) is to:

…Work harder

…Longer hours

…Add more projects

…Hustle to get out in front of your ideal clients

And I completely disagree.

Going “all in” ALL the time is just a recipe for burnout.

I used to believe that success happened in the hustle. I believed that in order to earn more, I had to do more.

But I unintentionally put myself on the fast-track path to burnout and overwhelm.

Can you relate?

I decided to make a HUGE change and discovered the business secrets that no one was teaching: a heartfelt approach to building a brand design business that consistently hits $10k months WITHOUT adding more to my plate.
