How Does She Do It? Business Insight from Paige

I felt we should kick off 2023 by letting our followers in on a little insight on how I continue to learn & grow into a CEO to create a sustainable business while building a team that also believes in my mission.

Every year in January I see, hear & read inspiration that is suppose to help us all get in the mindset of setting goals for the new year, however I started planning & setting business goals for 2023 in September of 2022…

What does PWID annual planning look like?

Ellevated Outcomes prep packets = homework for each team member to rate & reflect on business processes, clients we want to work with & employee atmosphere.

1 intense full day of planning with Julie Sellers, CEO of Ellevated Outcomes, to help us review our deepest insights and goals.
(Yes we deserved champagne that day!)

1 CEO retreat trip to absorb & select the goals to put into place for the PWID team.
2022 trip destination was Miami

A final CEO planning day after 3 weeks of intense reflection & goal setting (while also running the day to day of a demanding design business)

And if all that was not enough…

I enrolled in Ellevated Outcomes, Small Business MBA course: Simplify Your Business that supplied me with a fresh perspective, an opportunity to zoom out and assess my business, and tools to get really clear on where I want and need to go.

However the “CEO / I” quickly turned into a “We” taking this course as a design team learning that in order to be sustainable as a small business we must excel in quality of product, service, and customer experience and I can’t do it alone.

So, to answer the title of this blog post, “How does she do it”,

I keep living my mission from the very first annual planning day with Ellevated Outcomes in 2018:

“She shines bright in her business and her life. She lives in color, with passion” and by ADDING: “She surrounds herself with a team that shares that very same passion”
