    Ep 114: Chaos to Clarity: How One Niche Brought Michele’s Design Business Back to Life

    In this episode, I sit down with Michele Spadavecchia of Asta Design Group to talk about the pivotal shift that completely transformed her interior design business. Like many talented designers, Michele found herself pulled in too many directions, trying to serve everyone, saying yes to every project, and feeling the slow drain of burnout. The joy she once had for her work was buried under constant chaos, unclear direction, and a business model that wasn't working. She almost threw in the towel, but everything changed when we starting working together and Michele made the brave decision to commit to one niche. We talk about: How she identified a niche that was both creatively fulfilling and profitableThe mindset shift that made it easier to say “no” to the wrong projectsWhy focus is the fastest path to better clients, more profit, and renewed energyThe surprising ripple effects a clear niche has on how she approaches marketing, referrals, content and vendor relationshipsMichele’s story is a reminder that the right niche doesn’t limit you, it frees you. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, unclear on your direction, or just plain tired of running on empty, this episode will inspire you to focus on what you love most and build a business around it.
