How to Sustainably Scale Your Design Business

August 25, 2020

Here’s the thing, you can’t sustainably scale your design business by simply adding more to your already overflowing plate.

Let me say that again. You can’t sustainably scale by adding MORE to your plate.

So how do you grow and scale? How do you hit those income goals you set for yourself at the beginning of the year? Where are all your dreamy ideal clients at? What systems and workflows could make your life SO much easier?

Introducing the Design Business Bundle

Tell me. How often:

  • Are you actually creating for your clients versus tracking down client website content?
  • Do you find yourself stressed as you check your dwindling bank account balance, wondering where your next client payment is coming from?
  • Have you tried doing what you’ve seen work for other design business owners—yet find yourself never truly standing out or feeling ‘at home’ in your own? 
  • Are you treading water in a sea of choices—systems, processes, software, and strategies—and feel overwhelmed by what you’ve heard will work well for your business?

Been there, done that!

Which is why the lovely ladies over at With Grace and Gold and I have teamed up to offer you a peek behind the scenes of our businesses so you could see how we got from overwhelm and burnt out to hitting consistent $10k+ months. 

Sounds like just what I need!

What’s the investment?

The Design Business Bundle is the secret sauce we’ve combined just for you. It’s the exact systems and approaches to business we’ve used to leverage our design businesses from blending in and barely making it to thriving and delivering big profits for our clients through an intentional process.

This bundle includes Bonnie’s Brand Strategy School 5-week course and Kelly and Andra’s 12-day online With Grace and Gold Workshop. It’s for you whether you’re just getting started as a brand, stationery, web or freelance designer and you know you want to do business differently from the start or you’re a seasoned pro looking to transform the results you create for your clients.

When you register for the Design Business Bundle, you’ll receive:

THE TRUTH TO SCALING YOUR DESIGN BUSINESS

Here’s some hard truth.  If you look at your life five years from now, this trial-and-error of running your business will only leave you feeling burnt out.

And that exhaustion won’t lead you to a profitable, sustainable business.

So, let’s take a hot second for a little honesty hour:

[grab yourself a big ole cup of coffee or a margarita because it’s about to get real]

As a designer, you could:

Keep telling yourself you’ll do this “one day”. You’re on the DIY route to figuring this all out on your own because you just don’t have the time for another course.

But think of it this way—how many hours each week are you costing yourself trying to piece together everything you see other designers doing well? Instead, imagine how easy and effortless it would feel to have an easy done-for-you system not just for your workflows and client experience, but also your brand strategy approach so you can immediately elevate your business and save yourself hours each week.

Believe, “yah yah yah this all sounds great” but do I really need another course?

Here’s the deal, when you purchase the Design Business Bundle, you’re not just getting our two signature programs [The Brand Strategy School and the With Grace and Gold Workshop], you’re also getting access to our active community of like minded designers AND as part of the Brand Strategy School, you’re getting access to a monthly live call with Bonnie herself. Think of this not as “just another course you invest in one time”. Instead, think of this as a lifelong community you’re joining. Once you join, you will always have access and the ability to dive in whenever works best with your schedule!

Tell yourself, “this all sounds great, but how is this actually going to help me stand out when it feels like every other designer is just as talented [if not more talented] than I am?”

Here’s some tough love for you friend, other people may be able to do what you do, but they can never do it the way that you do.

[Say it louder for the people in the back!]

Your story and who you are brings a uniqueness to your value that no one else can replicate. Pair that with these done-for-you tools, resources, and roadmaps inside the Design Business Bundle and we believe you will be unstoppable. It’s not a matter of “how will this help me stand out”, but more a matter of will you be able to handle how much you stand out and how brightly you shine?

This kind of growth is meant for you, friend. 

It’s not simply a dream reserved for everyone else.

This is for you, too.

Imagine the freedom to choose your work hours so you can be present with your kids, spend more time with yourself, or celebrate how awesome your partner [or furbaby] is.

Imagine how life could look with a clear marketing plan that empowers you to hit your goals without wondering what to say and how to say it.

Imagine a balance in the day-to-day of your business that you actually spend time working ON your own design business, not just IN it.

Just imagine…

I hope to see you inside, sweet friend

xo, Bonnie
