Lauren’s Story
I can't just make more sales to make more money — I need more TIME!"
When Lauren hired us, she already had a thriving 7-figure interior design business. Referrals were coming in left and right, as well as repeat business. Her clients loved her, but she was too bogged down with "keeping up" to really enjoy the creative process herself — or feel fairly compensated.
After our work together, Lauren’s business and life look drastically different, and here numbers do, too.
Jessica’s Story
"Michele helped me put the right procedures in place to grow my team!"
Though Jessica had figured out how to build a successful design firm over 10 years in business, she’d reached a point where she was “flying by the seat of her pants!”
She felt her firm was immature in terms of business acumen. She struggled feeling disorganized and, at times, frantic about pricing jobs, managing the firm’s workload, and marketing her services for profit. With how hard she and her team were working, she couldn’t understand why she wasn’t seeing the returns.
Together, we made a few key shifts in Jessica’s business and the results were transformational. Here’s how we did it.
Amanda’s Story
“I was so overwhelmed, I didn’t know what to do next. I knew I wasn’t doing things the right way, but was so afraid that if I stopped to reorganize, my business would fail.”
Before we met, Amanda was saying “yes” to every project that came her way. She was overwhelmed, overworked, and slowly losing her desire for the career she once loved.
She had big dreams, a big heart, an enviable work ethic, and a passion for helping others. But when we looked at the numbers, we saw the hard truth — she was being underpaid on every project she was working on.
We reconfigured her pricing structure, capitalized on revenue opportunities that were available right away, and more. Then, everything changed.
Sarah’s Story
"Michele showed me that my vision was possible and helped me develop the skills I needed to develop my ideal business model.”
Sarah had successfully grown her interior design business but felt like she had hit a wall. Her description was something like “I’m working in circles, not making progress, and slowly eating into my profits month after month.”
We worked with Sarah to uncover where profit was being lost and create a more strategic plan for growth. Now, her business is reaching new heights.
Rose’s Story
Rose and I met in 2018 when her business was at a pivotal point financially. The next financial decisions she made would make or break the future of her design firm.
She was growing fast, but not paying herself for the 50+ hours of work she did each week. She knew she was sailing in uncharted waters, lacking a clear plan for growth.
After our work together, she said, “I wouldn’t be here without Michele. My business would be a mess. I literally talk to her about everything and she is always willing to jump in and problem solve with me. Our time together is a difference maker for my business.”
