Flexible Planning = Interior Design Business Success

Today’s crop of interior design business podcasts has got me 100% excited.

Coming from 4 different people with different personalities & approaches to business success - Marc Müskens, Erin Weir, Desi Creswell and Darla Powell - all 4 episodes highlight my belief that interior design business success requires two things:

  1. A plan, process, guiding philosophy, etc. Your business needs structure. Boring but true.

  2. Within that structure, you have to be flexible. Life is going to hand you opportunities and if you are unable to pivot, you will miss them.

Balancing structure & flexibility isn’t an easy task, but if you can do it…the sky is the limit for your interior design business.

So much good stuff from today’s podcast guests Kathryn Greeley, Isabella Patrick and Cheryl Luckett.

Enjoy :)

In today’s episode, host Erin Weir unearths some pearls of wisdom from veteran interior designer Kathryn Greeley. During their chat, Kathryn reminds all of us that our design careers are NOT going to travel in a straight line. Opportunities will arise as we move along our path and that those opportunities may take you in different - better - directions.

It takes a lot of perseverance, determination, hard work, and a bit of luck to operate an interior design business for more than 40 years. Where you end up may be very different from where you started. Along the way you come to realize that success comes from being true to your passions and following your dreams.
