Interior Designers Sabotage Success
Interior Designers Sabotage Success
We are our own worst enemies.
From not taking credit when credit is due, to not valuing our skills, to not shining a light on those skills, to not respecting our future selves & not putting into place concrete plans for those future selves, interior designers are terrible at looking out for themselves.
It’s time to stop. There is a better way. Each of today’s podcast episodes offers a unique insight into how we can stop sabotaging our own success.

This Is The Perfect Time to Renovate Your Interior Design Business
This Is The Perfect Time to Renovate Your Interior Design Business
As luxury service providers, residential interior designers are seeing the end result of today’s economic concern/fear/panic/dread being reflected in our businesses. Whether it’s higher interest rates or fear of a recession, homeowners are pulling back on home renovations.
Sure, ultra-rich clients - Sylvester Stallone - are renovating their mansions with their ultra-rich designers - Martyn Bullard - but for the rest of us - Robb & Company…something hinky is going on.
Which makes this the perfect time to take a good hard look at our businesses and look for ways to level up what we’re offering to our clients AND make our businesses more resilient & profitable.
