    This video is one of the best from "30x40 Design Studio" for people looking to improve their businesses. I will be very happy if I can get to the next step this year with some of the points you highlighted Eric. Following your channel helped me to focus on important issues to get back to work and your enthusiasms lifts me through rocky periods. Unfortunately, I am not sure where am I heading to (this is one thing to figure out this year) and I am proceeding slowly and with difficulty to find enough time, but as much as I feel frustrated sometimes having to look after my children (being trapped in the housewife role), now I realise that they can be another source of creativity, a new windows to the world. There is opportunity everywhere with the right approach. Thanks! x

    Thanks so much! This is a good resume of what is necessary to do in order to carry out a good online marketing for an architect! Watching things done is the best way to put everything organized in your own agenda with a plan and a strategy! often one have perfectly in mind what your lifestyle must be but he do not have the courage in the heart and the confidence to achieve it

    I also keep a folder of all the projects I said no to! I think its a really great way, no matter how long you've been running your business, we can feel insecure at times and a little reminder to calm down in that moment is all you need to reassure yourself that "it's going to be ok!" (Of course, if you're doing the work to market yourself and not just hoping for clients to land in your lap!) Love your videos!
