Interior Design Business - The People-Pleasing Problem - 22 min
What do you say “yes” to that you shouldn’t?
In this episode, host Terri Taylor is talking about people-pleasing.
People-pleasing is an important part of being an interior designer, but it has a time and a place. People-pleasing often leads to giving away your time when really you don’t have time to be giving away! The problem is that many of us have a hard time saying no.
Terri documents some of the areas where you are likely giving away your time to be a people-pleaser and sharing some strategies to help you break the habit of saying yes to everything.
This episode will help you stop saying yes to things that don’t serve you. If you’re a chronic people pleaser, this is for you.

Back to the podcast episode…
When it comes to growing your Instagram following, Darla & the team at Wingnut Social talk a lot about the types of content you’re posting, but they don’t always consider what you have to do once that content goes live.
Today, they have 3 great tips for you to help grow your Instagram following!
Tip #1: Respond to your comments on your posts. When you receive comments on your posts, don’t just leave them hanging! It’s great you got that initial engagement, but when you respond to the comments, you make the users feel special and heard, which encourages more comments. If possible, try to respond within an hour of receiving a comment. It’s a lot of work, but it’s super important to build that engagement and establish real connections with your followers. Getting ghosted can sometimes hurt your followers, so if you aren’t responding, they may not comment again. Think about a time when you commented on a creator’s post and they actually responded to you - how did that make you feel?
Tip #2: Respond to your DMs too! Don’t just ignore those direct messages that come in. Check them often and see what’s coming in. You might be getting business inquiries that you’re not realizing are coming through! You might get people asking about your services and more. It’s an opportunity to respond and drive them to the next step in your process, whether that be your website contact page, a phone number to call you at, or a link to schedule a call. At the very least, have an automated response on hand with directions to your contact page.
Tip #3: Engage with accounts within your target audience. Engage with accounts that you think your target audience would also be engaging with. The formula here is to like a post, comment something specific on the post (not just “Love it!”), and follow the account. It’s a great way to get that account, and those who follow that account, to view your profile and potentially engage with your content/follow you. But who do you know who to engage with? Look for accounts that relate to your target audience. For example, if you’re a designer in Miami targeting high income families, you should interact with local businesses like high end restaurants and family attractions (not always design accounts). In terms of hashtags, you could try “Miami families,” “Miami living,” “family life,” and more.

The Affluent Creative - Melissa Galt - How Being Cheap Is Killing Your Profits - 38 min
It may sound truly counterintuitive, but being cheap is killing your profits. We often look for ways to complete important tasks for our business by ourselves to save money. We think that this will maximize our profits because we aren’t spending the money to outsource the job. But taking on too many tasks that you don’t enjoy or aren’t skilled at is really just taking you away from your zone of genius.
When you are in your zone of genius, you’re at that intersection of what you absolutely love to do, what you're truly brilliant at, and what you're fast at completing. And if the tasks you are completing for your business don’t live in your zone of genius, you should be outsourcing or delegating them so you can spend more time doing the things you love to do. This will keep you from burning out but will also maximize your profits because your time will be free to complete the work for your business that only you can do.
In today’s episode, host Melissa Galt walks us through some of the ways that you're actually being cheap. Melissa has solutions for how to work around these tasks. Your business should never feel like a chore - Melissa wants us to enjoy your work and be in our highest and best talent. She wants you to do what you do best, what you do with ease, and I want you to delegate, outsource, or delete the rest.
In this episode, you will hear:
Why you need to stick to your zone of genius
Ten ways that you are cheapening yourself and your business
How to distinguish between tasks you should complete yourself and tasks you should delegate, outsource, or delete
