"I can't just make more sales to make more money - I need more TIME!"
When my client Lauren hired me, she already had a thriving 7-figure interior design business.
She had referrals coming in left and right, as well as repeat business. Her clients loved her designs, but she was too bogged down with "keeping up" to really enjoy the creative process herself. She started to resent the business.
Lauren knew she had more potential, but she was overworked and overwhelmed by the massive workload and could not see her way out of the daily to-do list.
"Michele helped me put the right procedures in place to grow my team!"
I first met Jessica almost a decade into her business. She figured out, on her own, how to build a successful design firm, but will be the first to admit she had reached the point where she was “flying by the seat of her pants!” Jessica joined me for a discovery call ready to up-level her business while knowing she needed to shift her mindset from designer to CEO.
Like many of my clients, 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. Jessica knew how hard she and her team were working, but she couldn’t understand why she wasn’t seeing the financial return she expected.
“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.”
Amanda was saying “yes” to every project that came her way before we met. 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 that exemplified her values.
Amanda is a great designer and her clients loved her work, but over time she had been made to believe that she was only worth as much as her clients were willing to pay...and they were not paying enough. The truth is she was being underpaid on every project she was working on because she believed the lie.
"Michele showed me that my vision was possible and helped me develop the skills I needed to develop my ideal business model.”
I met Sarah when she was ready for true business growth. She 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”. Does that sound familiar? This is exactly the point when Sarah reached out and joined me for a discovery call that would be the catalyst for the success she is having today.
“"I can't just make more sales to make more money - I need more TIME”
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.
