As we are coming to the end of the year I always give my business/streams of income a bit of an audit…

Nearly every single one of our clients have their own business because they are sick of “renting” their paycheck from a boss and want to create their own (financial) freedom. 🦅

If you’re like me, you want to build a business that’s lean, focused, and profitable, but most importantly, one that gives you freedom in your life.

But s**t happens, right? We get distracted, something doesn’t pan out the way we hoped or something takes off more than we planned and we’ve scaled quicker and are playing catch up.

It’s time for a Freedom Audit.

Ensure that you are on track with your goals, automation and finances by following these tips:

1. Automate Operations ⚙️
Implement technology to automate tasks, ensuring efficiency during breaks and sustaining scalability.

2. Build a Reliable Team 🧑‍🤝‍🧑
Cultivate an autonomous team that can make decisions in your absence, promoting continuity and growth. (Or get clear on your values and “why” so you can easily build a team with a shared vision in the future)

3. Scalable Systems 🪴
Develop adaptable processes to seamlessly accommodate growth without compromising quality. Book a session with a coach or consultant if you need that extra clarity.

4. Diversify Revenue 📊
Explore multiple income sources for financial stability, allowing flexibility in your engagement. Remembering to work smarter not harder.

5. Prioritize Well-being 🫶
Foster a work environment aligned with personal values, promoting a healthy work-life integration for sustained success. YOU are the most important part of your business.


A Thought that Changed Everything

On the entrepreneurial journey, there is a moment etched in memory for almost every business builder…

It is a significant crossroad, where change signals a new chapter.

A moment of clarity 🧠 when a purposeful decision draws a line in the sand, paving the way for the life we have envisioned.

What’s yours? Was there one defining moment for you or a series of choices?

Sharing our business story and explaining how we reached our current position is a potent marketing tool that strengthens the relationship between our brand and our customers/clients.

For me, it was the realization that being a designer and staying in a corporate job wouldn’t give me the freedom I craved. I wanted a career that provided personal fulfillment and allowed me to help other businesses thrive.

After spending many years designing and building brands for businesses that struggled to effectively promote themselves, I made the decision to take action and Indie Brand Builder was born! 👶

I’d encourage you to capture the thoughts that got you where you are now and share them with others.

The more you share your story, the more you can connect with your people, the healthier your business will become.
