Whether you're just starting out as an architect or have been running your firm for decades, we’ve all faced those nagging fears of failure. It can manifest in different ways. Maybe you're hesitant to chase that dream client because, what if they say no? Or perhaps you’re holding off on promoting someone, worried you won’t be able to cover their salary in a few months. Maybe you're even putting off a well-deserved vacation, scared the whole business will fall apart without you. Fear is a natural part of leadership, and guess what? Even the best leaders feel it. The key is to recognize that fear and shift your mindset. 💭 When you start viewing fear as a normal part of running a business, you get more comfortable with it. As an entrepreneur and architect, failure is inevitable at any stage of your career. But what you can control is how you embrace it as part of your growth journey. 👉 At ArchiBiz, we’re here to help. With our online programs, coaching, and services, you’ll learn how to lead your architecture firm with confidence. Visit our website to learn how we can help you become a more efficient and empowered leader.

If there was ever a word we would ban at ArchiBiz, it's probably "busy" ❌ Why? Let's be real: we're always busy. It's easy for us to be busy. But as business owners, are you busy because you're spending time on the right things? More importantly, are you spending the right amount of time on the right things? If you're not careful, it can be easy to spend countless hours on tasks that are below your pay grade. Or don't move the needle. As a business owner, it's up to you to be able to delegate and truly only spend time on the tasks that propel the business forward.

Sick and tired of hearing “no” from potential clients? It’s not you. It’s them. Have you ever considered that they just weren’t the right fit? At ArchiBiz, we see this all the time. Many architects struggle with clarity on their target audience. They chase projects, miss out, and feel frustrated when it doesn’t go their way. Here’s the fix: 💎 Get crystal clear on who your ideal clients are 💎 Who are they? What challenges do they face? How can you provide the solution? Once you know that, it’s all about communicating it effectively. At ArchiBiz, we've got the tools and resources to help you do so. Get in touch with us today to learn more.

How important is mental wellbeing to you? 🧘♀️ As architects, unfortunately, you're all too familiar with burnout. Whether you run a small architecture firm yourself or have a few partners, it's no secret that running an architecture firm can be overwhelming (to say the least.) There's the actual work that needs to be done, then there's managing a team, maintaining strong client communication, etc. And of course, a personal life and family to uphold. When it all becomes too much, what do you do to take a break? At ArchiBiz, we're big proponents of encouraging architects to go on vacation. Just because you're a business owner doesn't mean you don't deserve time off! While it might seem counterintuitive, it's what will ultimately help you sustain your business in the long-run and fuel your creative juices. We'd love to hear from you. Leave a comment below and tell us how you choose to unplug! 👇

How do you *really* know if your architecture business is doing well? Of course, there are obvious ways to tell. For example: are you making money? Do you have regular client inquiries coming in? Is your team happy? But, there are also some not-so-secret ways to gauge whether your firm is successful. After working with architects for 6+ years, we've discovered 25 success benchmarks for architects. We've put it all together in one handy online tool, and for the first time, we're making it accessible to our community. This is a simple diagnostic exercise that you can use to gauge whether your business is on the right track or not. It should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete, but will offer you PLENTY of insights! 🧠 👉 Click here to access: https://lnkd.in/eUeP5ZSE
