    EA079: Leadership in the Profession of Architecture with Jes Stafford Jun 04, 2015
    Show notes

    Your career in architecture is what you make it. Your success. Your failures. Whether you grow or stay small. Each decision you make will lead you to your destination.

    Choosing to be a leader sometimes adds complication to your life. Finding the time to build an architecture firm and raise a family AND taking the responsibility to lead others with a mission to make the world (or our little part of it) a better place takes courage.

    Leadership is a choice.

    This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I have a great conversation with one architect who has chosen to lead. This week I have invited my friend Jes Stafford of Big Time Small Firm to join me to talk about Leadership in the Profession of Architecture.

    Show notes

    Establishing a culture of profitability starts with you, the small firm architect. You need to change the way you think about business and money before you can foster a culture of success for your firm.

    but when you do, everything else will fall into place. You will have happier staff. You will have happier clients. You will make more money and you will spend more time on the things you love to do as an architect.

    Today on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I invited the founder and President of AEC Business Solutions, June Jewell, to join me to discuss 10 Culture Traps That Affect Firm Profitability.

    Quote of the Week

    Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards–and living up to them–is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it.” – Seth Godin

    Success is not difficult. It's not a secret or magic.

    There are rules to success. There are steps we can take. The knowledge is out there. The knowledge is on the podcast and here at the blog. It’s everywhere. There are so many other sources of knowledge that we can use to find the information we need to build a successful firm a successful family a successful life.

    Knowledge alone will never take us to where we want to go. There are two more steps we need to take before that knowledge can take us to where we want to go.

    Today on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share 3 simple steps to success in architecture.

    I know we have all heard the hype about Evernote.

    Many of us have downloaded the free app, took a spin and never looked again. Others have given it a try, created a few notebooks, added a few to-do lists and found no use.

    I know I did the same thing.

    EA074: My Favorite Place [Podcast] Apr 30, 2015
    Show notes

    Each month, a group of dedicated architect bloggers, lead by my friend Bob Borson over at the Life of an Architect blog, participates at an online event called #ArchiTalks. Bob assigns a specific topic or theme and we each prepare a post written in response to that specific subject and we all coordinate our posts to go live at the same time.

    A few topics that we have explored are:

    • Crafty
    • Architecture in the Real World
    • Favorite Things
    • A Day in the Life of…
    • This is Exciting

    Bob is busy running his Life of an Architect Playhouse Competition, so my friend Marica McKeel of Studio MM grabbed the reigns and took control of #ArchiTalks for this month.

    Marica selected the topic; Favorite Place.

    Scroll down to see more #ArchiTalks posts.

    I really love the #ArchiTalks series. We now have about 2 dozen or more architects participating and it is so interesting to see how each of us responds to a few simple words. When a theme is announced, there is no background. We have no influence on what to write. We simply receive the theme.

    In the past, I have participated by using my platform on the podcast or here at the blog. This week, on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share my thoughts on this month's topic, Favorite Place.

    EA073: The Power of Picking a Target Market [Podcast] Apr 23, 2015
    Show notes

    In addition to developing a sales system, the concept of Target Market is the one thing that I most credit for the success of my small firm, Fivecat Studio.

    Every day I see architects’ websites stating that they “specialize” in residential, commercial and institutional. Specialists in everything specialize in nothing.

    Your customers want you to be the best at what they will hire you for. If 9 firms are generalists (great designers, but no focus) and one firm is an expert focused on being the very best at designing restaurants, who will receive the first call when the local celebrity chef is looking to open her next trotteria?

    This week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share my thoughts on Your Target Market.

    EA072: 7 Benefits to AIA Membership for Small Firm Architects [Podcast] Apr 16, 2015
    Show notes

    Click the podcast player button above to listen or subscribe to the show on iTunes.

    This past recession has been tough on the architecture profession. For the past several years many of us have been struggling to survive. We've taken the work we could get and reduced our expenses to the absolute minimum.

    As we crawl out from the darkness, the warm sunshine of a recovering economy feels so good. Even though our boards are beginning to fill, the pain of survival is lingering. Many small businesses, including many small architecture firms, after years of finding ways to keep the doors open are succumbing to the years of economic instability and calling it quits.

    For those of us who have made it through the storm have emerged with a new perspective. The days of pre-recession spending are unlikely to return any time soon. Money is short, debt is heavy and recovery is the primary focus. We're spending only what needs to be spent to build a stronger firm and much sacrifice remains.

    Many of my friends are evaluating their professional priorities. If they feel an expense is unnecessary or not earning them a significant return on investment, it's being cut from their budgets. One such investment seeing the axe is their long-time memberships to the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

    I think that’s a mistake.

    I think there are many advantages to membership and this week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share 7 benefits to AIA Membership for Small Firm Architects.

    EA071: How to Build a Better Profession with Architect and Educator Larry Speck [Podcast] Apr 09, 2015
    Show notes Click the podcast player button above to listen or subscribe to the show on iTunes. Entrepreneurism, architects pursuing ventures outside the traditional practice, the education of architects, the AIA and how we all need to join together to build a better profession; these are all topics that I discussed with my guest this week on the Entrepreneur Architect Podcast. He started his own practice in 1975, dabbled in development, invested in real estate, merged his practice with a much larger firm where he is now partner and has designed some rather significant works of architecture. He was dean of University of Texas School of Architecture, where he continues to teach today. Larry Speck, developer, investor, educator, architect is most certainly an Entrepreneur Architect.

    EA070: Architectural Specification Systems for Residential Architects [Podcast] Apr 02, 2015
    Show notes

    Click the podcast player button above to listen or subscribe to the show on iTunes.

    The compilation and documentation of project specifications may be one of the most important services we provide as small firm architects and in my experience many of us, especially us residential architects, limit our specifications to a sheet of general notes and product descriptions listed throughout the drawings.

    Before launching Fivecat Studio, I worked for a few other firms where I had the opportunity to develop much larger projects than the projects Annmarie and I work on here at our firm now. Major school renovations., new office buildings, churches and synagogues. These projects included a specification manual . often organized into several different books, each about 2-1/2 thick. These documents were created by a professional specification writer who was paid thousands of dollars to include every piece of information that a contractor, owner (or lawyer) may be searching for when the project is being constructed.

    Our residential clients, building smaller projects, cannot afford a specification writer… but are they less important? Are we, as a registered architect, not just as liable for the work we are proposing? Shouldn't our projects have complete and thorough specifications too?

    Today on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I am speaking with three gentlemen who may have some answers for us small firm residential architects; complete specification for the work we do in a format that makes it simple to include with every project we design.
