The 10 Commandments Of Getting Paid
You love what you do.
Creating bad-ass sh*t that rocks your clients socks off? Totes your jam.
BUT even though you are definitely in this biz because you're passionate af about it...a lady's gotta get paid. After all, you can only pay your rent with million dollar smiles for so long.
So, how, as a kind but driven entrepreneurial designer boss lady, can you create cool sh*t...& get paid promptly for it?
Welp. Through trial, error (and more than a few weeks in the early days of staring at single digits in my business banking account), I've developed the ten commandments of getting paid.
Use them wisely, lady boss. -

A Must for Female Designers
Each episode of the Uncool Designer podcast offers great resources for designers. The interviews are full of information and cover very relatable topics. Anna offers a positive outlook and inspires designers to pursue the big dreams they have.
A great podcast for designers, from a designer
I love Anna Dower’s real and direct take on graphic design and owning your own design business. I whole heartedly agree with the advice and content she puts out there. A great show for both young and seasonal graphic designers.
Listen now and thank me later!
I’d highly recommend the Uncool Designer podcast! I was a mentor student of Anna’s and even though she gave me so much wonderful advice and help during our mentorship, this podcast is just as valuable to me.
While listening to the latest episode ‘How to get design clients’, I found myself thinking of tons of ideas on how to engage my own clients. It was the perfect way to kickstart my creativity and really get the brain flowing with ideas.
I look forward to each new episode because Anna has such a unique and fun way of approaching design and business unlike anyone else.
