Key Takeaways...

Focus on What You Do Best

Specialise in the areas of architecture you love and are great at. Work with others who specialise in different stages, like project delivery. This helps you work smarter, deliver better results, and feel less stressed.

Don’t Go It Alone

Running a business solo can feel lonely. Make an effort to connect with others—whether that’s meeting in person, chatting on the phone, or joining online groups. A supportive network makes your work more enjoyable and sustainable.

Start, Even If You’re Afraid

Fear of failure shouldn’t stop you from starting your architecture practice. Mistakes will happen, but they’re just lessons in disguise. The most successful business owners learn, adapt, and keep moving forward.
