Breaking Free from the Mistake Cycle: The Power of Systems 🚀
I've been there, stuck in that relentless loop of unpaid work, but guess what? There's a way out, and it's simpler than you might think – systems.
Every thriving business out there has them, and we creatives are no exception. It starts with setting policies and, here's the kicker, enforcing them. Yes, you heard me right, even if it means losing a few potential clients. For instance, declare boldly that your company's policy is to kick-start any project with a non-refundable 50% deposit of the total amount. And enforce it, no exceptions. This simple step will save you from the vicious cycle that held me captive for too long.
But here's the kicker – it's not enough to keep these policies in your head. Write them down, and present these documents to your clients before diving into any project. Get their signature, make it official. This is where our journey towards building a profitable business from our craft begins. 💪💼
