Time Starvation Epidemic

Interior Design Business ·

2023/10/14

Do you feel like you never have enough time for all the things you want to do?Usually, when I ask fellow design business owners what they want their businesses to look like, they can give me a pretty clear answer, but when I ask them why they aren’t working towards it, they say something like “Oh I don’t have time for that.” If that sounds like you then I have another question for you: why not?If your time isn’t being spent creating the business and life you really want then what’s it being spent

The Luxury Mindset

2023/10/07

What is a luxury mindset? This is an important concept for interior designers and service providers to understand, so I wanted to revisit this favorite episode. There’s a misconception that once you start getting luxury clients, you’ll become a luxury designer, but it just doesn’t work that way. Your luxury mindset needs to come first and the clients will follow. In this episode of the Interior Design Business podcast, I’m taking you through the elements of a luxury mindset and how to start

Are you taking advantage of the tipping point of your sales conversations? If you’re not sure how to answer that, keep reading. The tipping point is the point in a sales conversation with a prospective client when you ask to be hired. The thought of asking to be hired might immediately send you spiraling.

Most designers struggle to get paid what they’re worth. Have you experienced this?You might have felt the need to lower your prices to get a client, felt bad about charging a high price for something, or given away your time for free to try to lower your costs. Why do you feel the need to do things like this? The answer lies in your money mindset. The first step to getting paid what you’re worth is working on your money mindset. You need to know what stories you’re telling yourself about money,

When is the right time to hire help?Maybe you’re intimidated by the idea of making your first hire, maybe you’ve had a bad experience, or maybe you feel like it would be easier for you to just keep doing everything yourself. I’ve experienced all of these, so I get it, but if you’re serious about growing your business, you’re going to need some help.

Growing Too Fast

Interior Design Business ·

2023/08/26

Why would it be bad for your design business to grow too fast? Growth is good, right?Well, yes and no. Your business needs to be set up to handle growth. If you experience rapid growth that you’re not prepared for, your business will not be able to support it and you’ll end up losing money and making rushed decisions. That’s not what we want. Valerie Priester is here to walk you through the number of problems that can arise when you get ahead of yourself and grow too fast. Valerie is a powerhouse

What do you do when your inner voice becomes your inner critic?It happens to us all. Unfortunately, we’re much harder on ourselves than we are on anyone else. I bet you’d never talk to your loved ones the way you often talk to yourself. How do you get past that voice when it’s telling you that you’re not good enough or you don’t have what it takes? The truth is, you’ll continue to get in your own way unless you actively choose to do the mindset work. In this episode of the Interior Design Business

How much time do you spend putting out fires?You’re going to need to get some of that time back if you want to scale your business. If you’re involved in every day-to-day task behind the scenes and you’re responsible for putting out every fire, your business cannot grow sustainably. It has to be able to function without you.

Is Perfection Slowing You Down?

Interior Design Business ·

2023/08/05

Do you consider yourself a perfectionist?I think a lot of us designers do. Wanting your work to be perfect isn’t a bad thing, it shows how much you care, but it can get you into trouble. The thing is, nothing’s ever really perfect. If you’re always waiting for the perfect time, perfect product, perfect skill set, or perfect anything, you could be waiting forever. The real magic happens when you find the courage to take imperfect action. In this episode of the Interior Design Business podcast, I want

Design Fees and Legacy Clients

When old clients come back to work with you again, how do you tell them that your fees have changed since the first time you worked together?If you’ve been here before, you’ll know that I teach designers how to get paid what they’re worth. One of the first things we always work on in that process is design fees. Getting your design fees nailed down isn’t too hard, but communicating those fees and sticking to them is harder, especially when you’re dealing with returning clients who were familiar with

Do you know how many clients your business could handle without becoming overloaded?In this episode, I’m going to pitch a scenario to you and ask you some questions about how you’d handle it. The point of this exercise is to get you thinking about how prepared you and your business are to handle growth.

Time Values

2023/07/15

I bet you didn’t start your own business so that you could work 60 hours a week, never take a vacation, and miss family events. You might often find yourself in those situations because you’re a people pleaser, you don’t want to turn away business, and you feel bad saying no. Those are just a few of the things that tend to affect us as designers and how we undervalue our time. In order to move away from being overworked and underpaid, you’ve got to rethink how you value time. Not all time has the

What do you wish you knew about marketing for designers?By the end of this episode, you might just have your answer. There’s a lot of information out there about SEO, social media, and all things marketing, but it’s hard to sift through and none of it is focused on designers. Our industry is a little different from others.

“If only I had another day in the week, then I could get it all done.”“If I just had two more hours in the day, I could finish everything.”How many times have you said something like that?

I’m back with coach Marsha Sewdass for Part 2 of this episode all about healthy boundaries. It’s all very well to tell you to set more boundaries, but how do you implement them? Sometimes you have to start small, so the small thing we’re starting with is a simple two-letter word: no. In Part 1 we talked about how to identify areas in your life that need boundaries and carve out enough self-reflection time to start thinking about how to set those boundaries. In this episode, we’re covering how to say

If you feel like work is encroaching on every hour of your day and you don’t have the time for your personal life that you wish you had, you probably don’t have enough boundaries in place, at least not ones that you’re sticking to.
