In this episode, I sit down with Dixie Willard, founder of Poised and Plumb for a candid conversation about the two essential forces that drive a thriving design business: marketing and systems. Marketing brings in clients, but systems keep them happy.

Key Takeaways:

  • How to begin documenting your processes without overwhelm or perfectionism.
  • The Best way to streamline your workflow with tools & templates while maintaining a personal, human touch.
  • Why clear communication, internally and with clients, is the ultimate service.
  • How to avoid tech fatigue and choose software that fits your business (not the other way around).
  • Why progress is better than perfection and small steps toward clarity beat inaction every time.
