I’m loving writing a newsletter. Writing long-form content is therapeutic, organises your thoughts and gets you closer to your audience. I’m writing weekly about design leadership interviewing great minds as we go. verified.beehiiv.com/subscribe #designleadership
If you care about this kind of thing, you can check it out tomorrow at 9am - verified.beehiiv.com/subscribe
The first 100 days of any leadership role is vital. When hiring design executives, it’s one of the most important roles in any business if done correctly.
Tomorrow, I’ll be exploring with Andy Polaine on how to set yourself up for success. Key things I’d include to set up for success include - quick wins, ensure OKRs are linked to the business etc. good design is good business!
@DevAsService Ha. That’s a better way of putting it! People just need to own it.
99% founders: “We’re changing the world” No, you’re building a B2B SaaS company for lawyers. Own it, you’re in it to make money. That’s why most people start businesses.
Being a 2nd time founder is interesting. I’ve been used to delegating and hiring people better than me in my business to literally setting up Notion pages and stuff I am just so bad at but need to get it done. Time to hire a VA.
@zubairself Thanks! Would you recommend any good tools?
I've started a business for $2264. Monthly costs are $414: Figma - $30 Notion - $30 Airtable - $40 G-Suite - $40 LinkedIn - $110 Taplio - $55pm ChatGPT - $30 Owaken - $44 Firstbase - $35 The cost of entrepreneurship lowers daily. Simple AF. #buildinpublic
When you become a business owner you realise how little job titles mean.
Some of the unhappiest designers I’ve met in my career were working at big tech companies. Sold the dream. But can’t escape because of golden handcuffs.
📢Calling all designers! 📢 Join us at #designFAO 2023 and learn how to build a thriving career in design from @tommscottt , who will reveal the 5 critical steps for success. #designcommunity #careeradvancement 🎟️Super Early-bird tickets are on sale now🎟️
1st week of the new business so far: - Feedback sessions - Business strategy - Building systems - Brand + Website - Working on V1 - Keeping calm - Legal/terms - Pitch deck Successes: - V1 is clear and loaded - 1 new client signed - Pitch deck nailed Let’s go!
Hire designers based on what they can bring to the table, not shiny logos on their resume. There are so many great designers you’ve never heard of.
Designers, would you take a design challenge if it meant getting an extra £100 a day or 10k extra salary based on the quality of your work?
@thisiskp_ Integrity. Fundamental for showing up in alignment for you and others every day.
@sccc_a Exclusive design network. Productising the service long term. Appreciate the Q!
Day 3 of the new business: Secured £7.2k. First little win. No matter how many times you do this, that first little bit of money is priceless. I will celebrate by charging my car. 😂 #buildinpublic
@ItsKieranDrew What key systems would you say make entrepreneurs successful?
