04: Organizing a Creative Agency with Lauren Mann

My Guest: Lauren Mann

Lauren is one of the most creative designers I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never seen her create the same type of design twice! She has cracked the code on balancing a creative agency while still being efficient, meeting deadlines and having an actual schedule.

In this episode we talk to Lauren about her struggle to create more time for herself. With work taking up most of her time, even with all the delegation and efficiency, she is not making enough time for herself, working nights even though she hoped not to and unsure how to get any more efficient than she already is.


Breakthroughs:

Hey, I’m good enough to charge for my offerings!
How to set steady pricing for creative endeavors that always take different amounts of time
The best efficiencies to create and how
How to hire and not lose money
Doing volunteer design work is really a great marketing technique


Ready for your breakthrough?  Sign up here to be our next guest!


Advice:

Do volunteer work as you build your portfolio and confidence
Delegate whatever you don’t have to do so you can focus on your strengths


Lauren’s Quote:

“A ship in a harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.”

About the Podcast

Create Your Own Salary (previously Business Breakthrough)
Humanizing business and businessifying humans.
We're humanizing business, and businessifying humans.

Join us as successful business owners talk about the PIVOTAL MOMENTS that got them to where they are AND what they still CURRENTLY STRUGGLE WITH.



My dream always was, and still is, to help small business owners live their dreams. I've noticed that ALL BUSINESS OWNERS STRUGGLE SOMEWHERE. Even those that look so shiny and perfect on the outside are hurting somewhere on the inside.

Many of the podcasts out there feature rags-to-riches success stories with the promise that you can do it too! Ever felt that you really can't?

That's why I've started the Business Breakthrough Podcast, FEATURING STORIES YOU CAN RELATE TO, SHARING STRUGGLES YOU CAN LEARN FROM. The show features business owners- from those just starting out to the super successful - and in addition to exploring previous TRANSFORMATIONAL BUSINESS MOMENTS, together we reach a Business Breakthrough live on air.
