My Weekly Schedule As A Designer & Coach & Running Two Businesses
VIP Design Days & Design Intensives in my design business have changed my life!
It’s made my personal life more expansive - I can take off more time from work and take more days off during the week! I also have more room in my schedule to run not only one but TWO businesses!
Sometimes we work every day, but sometimes we take the entire week off or only work 1-2 days. This is our ultimate freedom because we have more time - which to me is more valuable than money.
With VIP Design Days - I now have more time in our business! I can launch courses, programs, and website templates much more easily because we are not bogged down by too many client projects or a team to manage.
In this blog post, I am going to give you a breakdown of what my weekly schedule looks when I only do one VIP design day per week! AKA we only work with clients one day out of the entire week and four days out of the entire month.

My weekly schedule running two businesses:
Monday:
CONTENT CREATION DAY & WEEKLY PLAN
At Dynamo Ultima, we usually take Mondays off or do light work if we're feeling up to it. Content creation for Instagram or writing the weekly newsletter also happens on this day for both my coaching business and our design business. We believe in starting the week on a relaxed note to ensure we are energized for the tasks ahead.
Tuesday:
INTERNAL BIZ ACTION DAY
Tuesday is dedicated to making updates to our business, creating courses, launching content, and tackling whatever is on our current to-do list. It's a day filled with innovation and strategic planning, ensuring our business stays up to date and continues to grow. This is usually when I spend my time creating products or programs for my coaching business OR when I spend time creating website templates for Dynamo Ultima
Wednesday:
CALLS DAY, PODCAST RECORDING DAY, COMMUNICATION DAY
Wednesday is usually a day for kick-off calls with our VIPs. We try to limit our calls to a maximum of two per day. It's also a great day for communication, so you'll often find us posting podcasts or stories on social media. I have all of my group coaching calls on wednesday, coaching calls with clients, and project kick-off calls for my design clients VIP days. Having a dedicated day to calls makes it easier to manage my energy throughout the week.
Thursday:
VIP DESIGN DAY
We try to always book VIP days on Thursdays but will move to be flexible if we need. This day is dedicated to clients only! We believe in providing exclusive attention to our VIP clients, ensuring their projects get the focus and dedication they deserve. Thursday is our client day for our design studio, which means it’s the only day I work 1:1 with my design clients, leaving all of the other days open!
Friday:
LIGHT WORK
Fridays are for light work. We work for 1 hour and then close our laptops. Sometimes we work on the weekend if we are feeling inspired but usually, we don’t. It's our way of easing into the weekend and maintaining a work-life balance.
