Excited to share our new interview with Melissa Aka @smalmarketing a #creativeladydirectory member and owner of her own social media and digital product management business. She shares a wealth of tips but we are especially impressed by her block-scheduling method that allows her to know exactly how much room she has in her schedule for new clients and that precious time off. Head to the link in our profile to see how she does this, it might just change the way you work 👌🏻
Such good advice from this weeks interviewee @thebrand_stylist “I think the advice I'd give every creative is to find that thing that you do better than everyone else and build your business around that. Don't try and be all things to all people. Create a destination brand. Be known for a particular style of design and make yourself the go-to person. We so often focus on trying to show a bit of everything - especially as freelancers, but actually, that doesn't set you apart, it confuses your clients, undermines your creativity and sets you up for a rocky ride with clients.” Read the rest of the interview through the link in our profile ❤️
