Episode 152: Why A La Carte Projects Aren’t a Solution for Scalable Growth
Are you ready to scale your design business in a way that does add more work to your already busy plate? It’s time to start charging for the value you bring to your clients, rather than focusing on a la carte projects. In this episode, I’m sharing why a la carte solutions aren’t an ideal solution for scalable growth. You do not need to be trading your time for dollars. Scaling to $10k Months If you’re setting a big goal of hitting a 10k month, and including a la carte projects in that 10k, how many projects do you have to take on in order to hit that goal? Consider this, if you’re offering business card design as a service at an average rate of $150/design, then you would need to take on 67 business card designs in order to hit $10k/month. By removing the a la carte services and offering a cohesive brand design service at $5k per project, you would only need to book two clients to hit that $10k month. While a la carte services may seem like a good starting point, they will not serve you well if you plan to scale. Stop Trading Your Time for Dollars When starting out in the design industry, we become tied to a mindset and way of doing business that requires you to trade your time for money. Your time is a precious, non-renewable resource that you need to place more value on. Join me in doing business in a way that allows you to charge based on the result provides, not on the number of hours that you clock on that project. Are you ready to elevate you services so that you can charge more and break up with the mindset of trading your time for money? Join me in my free masterclass!
