Let me guess–you sit down to work on your design business and immediately think:
Should I update my website? Post on Instagram? Redo my portfolio? Finally setup Dubsado? Reach out to potential clients?
Cue overwhelm. Cue scrolling. Cue… not much progress.
It’s not that you’re doing the wrong things — it’s that you’re doing them without clarity. And without clarity, everything feels equally important, so your energy gets scattered fast.
You don’t need more tasks — you need direction
This part isn’t sexy, but it is the thing that changes everything.
Before you worry about marketing yourself consistently or efficient systems, you need to get to the bottom of:
- Why you want this business
- What kind of work you actually want to be doing
- Who you want to work with
- What services make sense for you
- What belongs in your portfolio (and what doesn’t)
And once those pieces click into place? Every other decision becomes easier. Like… dramatically easier. Suddenly you’ll be able to build a portfolio that attracts the kinds of clients you want to work with, and create a marketing plan that sticks.
But where to start?
Even if you want this kind of clarity, it’s easy to stay stuck when you don’t know where to start. Which is exactly why I created my free Design Biz Blueprint — for designers who are stuck in the overwhelm of building their business.
It’ll walk you through the foundational questions (the ones most people skip!) that bring clarity to your offers, audience, goals, and portfolio direction so that you can start moving forward with confidence.
