Issue #50 - Decide Your Destiny
Who's in charge here?

That's a critical question to ask yourself in these early weeks of 2007, as Business by Design reports.

THIS MONTH:
+ Decide Your Own Destiny
+ Aim High

+ Decide Your Own Destiny
Either you decide this year how you'll manage your time, or others will.

Either you decide the caliber of clients you'll serve, or others will.

Either you decide how you'll run your business or career, or others will.

Too bad so few design professionals ever make those decisions.

Too bad so many designers, window fashion professionals, floor covering specialists, showroom managers and others lack focus in their careers, and direction in their business.

Everywhere you look in this industry you find ships without rudders.

If you're one of them, take heart.

It doesn't take much for you to correct your course and steer yourself in the proper direction.

It just takes a few answers.

Answers to questions like: What are your financial goals this year? And, what's your target market? And, what are your five major challenges?

Those are just three of 24 questions you should ask yourself if you're looking to achieve remarkable results in 2007 and beyond.

Aim High
Time was when your reputation, alone, could assure your future prosperity.

Times have changed.

Welcome to 2007, a year with more gifted, acclaimed, talented, qualified, award winning design professionals than ever before.

Given that competition, it will take more than skills to meet your financial and other goals this year. It will take Big Thinking.

Big Thinking, as in pursuing higher end clients. Bidding on bigger and better jobs. Proposing larger scale deals.

Big Thinking, as in seeking more referrals. Reaching out to more prospects. Marketing yourself in more high profile publications.

Big Thinking, as in networking with and speaking to more prestigious groups. Aligning yourself with more established allied professionals.

And, Big Thinking, as in setting higher fees.

Warm Regards,

Fred
