Show Highlights:

Desi explains that many designers are solopreneurs and wear both the CEO and the technician hats.
The CEO is responsible for the vision of the business.
Many designers spend too much time as technicians and not enough time developing their capacity to run the business as CEO.
If this happens, a designer basically becomes a glorified assistant for their own business.
You can’t afford to NOT take the time to get intentional about where you’re headed.
How is your business serving your life?
Desi covers CEO tasks and questions for consideration.
Develop a strategy and be intentional about the way you’re spending your time.
Think about what is possible, and make sure your life goals and business goals support each other.
“The intention of growing your business and setting big goals for yourself is not just about the results, it is about the person you get to become once that goal is realized.” – Desi
