Running a design business can feel like walking a tightrope. One misstep — a slow market, a tricky client, a missed opportunity — and suddenly it feels like the whole thing could come crashing down. But here’s the truth: the strongest, most successful businesses aren’t built when everything is easy. They’re built when you face uncertainty head-on.

In the latest episode of Success by Design, I’m sharing the final part of our three-part series on thriving in unpredictable markets. We’re talking about resilience — how to stay visible, adapt creatively, dial in your systems, and build a team and support network that actually strengthens your business instead of drains it.

You’ll hear practical tips on:

  • Why maintaining visibility when others pull back can set you up for massive growth

  • How small experiments and creative adaptability can keep your business relevant

  • The systems that protect your sanity and support scaling

  • Building emotional and professional support networks that carry you through tough seasons

Whether the market is booming or shaky, your business can thrive — if it’s designed with clarity, consistency, and courage.

Tune in and discover how to turn uncertainty into opportunity and create a business that truly works for you, not the other way around.
