SO excited to share my first Podcast appearance

February 27, 2016 by House of Funk 2 Comments

I was thrilled to join LuAnn Nigara for a little coffee talk on her new podcast:

A Well-Designed Business

Here’s how Lu sums it up:  “Today our guest is the founder of Funk Design Studio: Sandra Funk.  She is going to be talking to us about how she runs her business and puts systems into place for effective project management.  Her best tip is to be very clear and upfront with everyone on a project and set goals.”

In this episode you will learn:sandra-funk-levy-new-headshot-by-laura-desantis-olsson

  • Be as clear as possible with vendors working on a project
  • Don’t just ask the client for a budget, give them a realistic range
  • Sometimes the best lesson is how not to run a business
  • Set big goals, but break them down into manageable chunks
  • Track accurate billable hours, then stand behind them
  • Use technology to your advantage to efficiently run projects
  • Stop saying yes to every project to make room for the right project
  • Communication is key
  • Focus on relationships

If you like it, Like it.  If you Love it, please share it!
