SIGN UP Money is a tool/commodity Mistakes that are Keeping You From 6 Figures Mistake 1: Designers spend a lot of time on the wrong things in their business. This is the biggest mistake that I see designers making! You’re spending time at your desk working with clients, answering emails, etc. But what’s moving the needle forward in your business that actually requires your attention? It’s likely that your focus is on the wrong things in your business. I want you to look at the data and see what’s helping your business grow.

The way you view things has the power to hold you back or give you support. Mistake 3: Having offers that are not scalable. If you’re burning out on 1×1 client work, offering too many services, or distracted by digital products, you won’t generate the revenue you want to hit that six figure goal. In order to generate the rev you want, it is crucial that you have an offer that generates money to hit your revenue goal. Most people buy into the belief that the more services and products you have help you hit 6 figures. I see so many designers do this and it pulls their energy and focus between offers. This is caused by trying to speak to too many different aud...
