Your Business Or Your Life 8 Steps For Getting All You Want Out of BOTH! by David P. Shepherd
Most designers will sit back and wait for the phone to ring.
Some will struggle, many will leave the field.
A few will attack and prevail....
Those will be the ones at the 6th Annual Business of Design
The national news is finally turning positive, but if you're like most designers, even though your old sales pipeline kept you going through the worst of the slump, you're wondering where that pipeline is now. You're wondering why there seems to be a "lag" between the nation's recovery, and your prosperity!
The good news for you is that, like a bear hibernating in the winter, most designers have been hibernating too. (Or is the "heads in the sand" a better metaphor?) And when they wake up, they're going to find that the landscape has changed, the business model of successful design firms has changed.
What clients demand has changed.
You need to change, too!
Which is why we're shaking up our 6th Annual Business of Design Conference in Las Vegas in September. We're giving you exactly what you need at this historical time in our nation's history. Already the most critical event for the financial success of the interior designer, we're going even further in 2009 and providing the context for you to leave not just with some good ideas (our most common complaint is too many good ideas!) but with a detailed strategic plan of action to re-fill your pipeline, capitalize on the Recovery, and on the fact that most designers will take no action at all.
