Ep #216: Dirty Little Secrets of Interior Design Part 2

The Design You Podcast | Dirty Little Secrets of Interior Design Part 2

A few years ago, I did an episode on The Dirty Little Secrets of the Interior Design Biz where I spoke about the smoke and mirrors of the interior design industry, business owners not making much money while constantly struggling to put out fires and wear all the hats. And friends, almost nothing has changed or been remedied since that episode!

While I’m seeing more individuals in the design industry making progress, we aren’t really seeing a lot of progress in the industry as a whole. So I wanted to come back and do a second part to this episode because when enough people start changing the way they run their businesses, we’ll start to see different results.

Listen in this week as I share some more dirty little secrets from the interior design industry and some of the bad habits I’ve seen designers revert to since the pandemic. I’m encouraging you to get real about where these dirty little secrets are showing up for you and showing you how to stop running your business from a place of fear, scarcity, and people-pleasing.
