5 thing's I've Learnt Running My Own Business
Here are a few tips I have learnt over the years of running my own design business. And they relate to any business!
1. Hire a good accountant and have accounting software. (I use @xero ) If you aren’t money minded like me, this is a life saver!
2. Be organised & stick to a routine (especially if you work from a home office). You need to have structure and a plan each day, to avoid distractions and procrastinating.
3. Have the weekends off to avoid burning out! Life is all about balance, so switch off when you need to.
4. Continue to educate yourself and grow. I’m constantly learning and evolving every week. That can include new courses, reading books related to your field, chatting to others in your industry, and doing your own research.
5. Plan your social content ahead of time, and get a scheduling app to make life easier. A few good ones are Later, Planoly and Sked. Check out which one is right for you. This will save you so much time and stress, and allow you to have a much more consistent and aesthetic feed.
