Write your own rules, you rebel 🤘

Did you know you’re allowed to build your business however the **** you want?

Turns out there’s no rule book that says:

• you have to come up with an hourly rate
• you have to do invoicing
• you have to work 37 hour days
• your clients have to be d*cks
• you have to offer all the things to 85 different markets

Are you a designer who loves branding but hates magazine layout? 👏 Say 👏 no 👏 to magazine layout work… or find a magazine designer to swap projects with.

Don’t want to keep answering the “what’s your rate” question? Decide on the projects you’ll do and set a price for each (which you can change anytime).

Love your work but decide you really need 3 hours a day to learn Tom Morello guitar shreds so you can melt faces at your next family bbq? Block out the time on your calendar, and protect it.

A lot of us will copy-paste the last job we were in, call it our “business”, then wonder why it’s so much harder and we’re earning so much less.

Not your fault – there’s a lack of helpful education around this stuff. We do the default (hourly, invoicing, etc) because it’s easy, and it’s probably what we’ve been exposed to.

There are better ways, I promise 🤘
