I learned more about typography in this course than during my BA in graphic design. This gives me confidence that I can make effective layouts and better design of any kind. I also felt I was part of a community, who learned together. Once a week for seven weeks, Chris critiqued our submitted layouts and this motivated us to put knowledge into practice and submit our work. This course is the best investment I've made in myself in becoming a better graphic designer. And I've invested in a lot of courses and books.
One of the things that was missing from my flagship program, Business Bootcamp, was the ability to find clients. You can be an expert at sales and negotiation and pricing, but those skills are irrelevant if you aren’t generating a consistent stream of qualified leads.
So I did a deep dive and made sure that my own strategies for attracting clients aligned with today’s marketing thought leaders. And my theories were confirmed- you need to be super specific about who you are, who you serve, and why it should matter.
If you narrow down your target, you’ll be able to speak to leads in a more authentic way. They’ll feel understood. They’ll feel taken care of.
So don’t be afraid to make the difficult business decision of specializing. Make a commitment to serving a very specific industry with a very specific type of service. This is how you’ll gain authority, build expertise, and grow your business.
