Episode 135: How to Leverage the Basics to Scale your Design Business with With Grace & Gold

July 22, 2020

Have you taken the time to figure out what it would take to grow scale your design business? You can easily start by leveraging the basics in your business to create a solid foundation for success.

Andra Barkey and Kelly Zugay of With Grace & Gold join us to discuss the steps you can take to prepare your business for scalability. Listen in as they share how evaluating delegation, organization, and project management in your organization will enforce a solid foundation to launch from.

Making Foundational Decisions

Making foundational decisions around how you do, why you do, and what you do in your business can allow you to better determine the things you should master in your business in order to scale.

These decisions help you clarify your focus on what you believe, value, and ultimately envision for your brand, which allow you to understand what it is you need to master in your business to be successful.

This can also open your eyes to understanding what tools, systems, and workflows you need to set in your business so that you can focus on what you love.

Master what you already have going for you.

While you may be toying with the idea of adding new services that you continue to have requested, consider if you’ve really mastered the services you already offer.

Adding more to your plate is not going to allow you to scale your business, but rather burn out and cause you to provide a lower quality service to your clients. It also doesn’t necessarily mean more profit. Now, ask yourself:

“What can I master to scale my business?”

My name is Bonnie – I’m a brand designer, strategist, and writer which all adds up to one eclectic conglomeration of qualities that enables me to serve you well! Past clients have dubbed me "the Joanna Gaines of brand design," and I've had more than a few call me a dream maker, a game changer, and a design wizard (my Harry Potter-loving heart didn't hate that one, let me tell you!). At the end of the day, I'm a big-hearted creative who will get teary-eyed as you share the heart behind your business; who will lose sleep over the perfect font pairings and color selections to bring your brand to life visually; and who will work tirelessly to empower, encourage, and equip you to share your work with the world intentionally.
