Got a question after class? No one is going to detention for needing extra help. Our Creative Director, Kristi Drago-Price is opening office hours for her #LikeABoss_QA series, answering questions from bad-ass creative professionals below: Q: How do I keep marketing my own business on the priority list when I'm being pulled in so many different directions on client projects? .. A: A classic case of the cobbler’s kids having no shoes, right? Trust me I can relate. Marketing IS my business, and even I have a hard time finding a balance to keep it a priority. - The trick is learning that multitasking may be a skill but single tasking is a strength that keeps you focused and growing. Of course, you want to give your all to your clients, but it’s equally important to leave time (even in this busy fall season) to continue promoting your business, or you’ll soon find there are no clients! - How do I do it? Well, as a visual person I rely on colored blocks of designated time on my iCal to get tasks done...on busy weeks it’s like a psychedelic rainbow 😳 But, I’ve created a way to keep me at the head of the class with a Time Blocking Schedule. Don’t worry about creating your own. I'll let you copy my homework!

@EditorsEdge is sending a major shoutout to the determination and “hot” accomplishments of our clients this past season.

Struggling to accept that Summer is over and life is kicking back into high gear of Back to School / Get to Work mode? We’re right there with you! This month’s Editor’s Edge is your success syllabus with tools to help you slay the end of the year and earn that gold star on achieving your branding goals.

Our Creative Director Kristi Drago-Price is getting warmed up for tomorrow's #TheKnotWorkshop with this week's #LikeABoss_QA series, answering questions from bad-ass creative professionals. -- Q: I'm really invested in my client relationships, to the point that they become an extension of my family – sometimes at the expense of my actual family. How do I set boundaries with my beloved clients without having them feel upset or abandoned? . A: Great question, trust me when I say you are not alone on this one! First off, high-five to loving your clients, that means your brand is doing its job in reaching your ideal clients. Buuut, it seems like you might not be holding up your side of the work here. Beyond timelines and checklists, you need to communicate with clients what they can expect when working with you and your team. Set boundaries from the get-go to avoid late night texts and weekend calls. You can't blame a client for being, let's say overzealous, they're just making assumptions about your working relationship (and you know what happens when you ASS-U-ME). Instead of putting together a passive-aggressive list of "dont's" that will send new clients running the other way, create client on-boarding materials. And if that seems overwhelming, Editor's Edge offers Client On-Boarding as part of our Digital Marketing service. As long as your materials (and service) are on brand and speaking your client's language, they'll not only read them but respect your initiative and set you both up for a beautiful relationship. .
