The new year offers a ripe moment to implement lessons we’ve learned from the previous year and to set new business goals. In 2025 we’re front-loading concepts like setting boundaries, establishing transparency with clients and building a more scalable, sustainable small business. 

It is our habit to take the winter months as a time to reflect on our year, to clarify our materials and fine-tune the strategies and the structures we’ve built. This year, we’ve learned many things the hard way, including what happens when clients are left to their own devices; the thing all small business owners should keep in mind; and why small projects do not equal simple projects.
