Q&A: “I have 20 years of experience … how do I pick a niche?”

Notes from Chris

Episode 1995

Let’s talk today about the power of thinking small!

Today’s caller draws on a lot of experience in production, branding, and more. She now wants to strike out on her own, but feels overwhelmed by all the options. Can we help her find the right focus?

"Hi, Chris, this is Sheri from Vancouver, Canada. I'm a longtime fan of yours, and I'm grateful for all the amazing and informative content you put out there for entrepreneurs like me. Thank you so much. I'm a freelance graphic designer, which is already sort of a side hustle, but I've wanted to develop a more passive side of my business for a while now. And you are inspiring me to act. I have more than 20 years experience in the industry, and I've produced many different kinds of projects, campaigns, branding publications, packaging signage and even merch. I enjoy the variety and probably couldn't pick a type of project I like more than others."
