Do you love remodeling jobs as much as I do?
I love the imagination and creativity that goes into taking something run down and turning it into something amazing.
A lot of designers enjoy remodeling jobs but they don’t know how to make them profitable. That stems from not knowing how to handle and position yourself with the contractor, so in this episode, I’m covering the mistakes designers make when working with contractors to help you avoid them next time!
If you’re making some of these mistakes, it’s not your fault! No one ever taught you about this so how would you have known? Now you’ll be armed with the information you need and be in a better position than ever.
Topics covered in this episode include:
How to avoid giving away your job to contractors The problem with the numbers contractors throw outWhat you need to know about contracting laws

Boundaries and You
Do you have boundaries in place (in writing) to protect you in your business?
The actions of your clients can reveal that you’re missing boundaries in some very important places, so I want to make sure that doesn’t happen. In this episode of Interior Design Business, I’m sharing what kinds of boundaries you need to have in place, how to communicate your boundaries effectively and professionally, and how to follow through on your boundaries to avoid being taken advantage of.
This episode is important because when it comes to boundaries, the behavior that has to change is yours. You can’t control your clients’ behavior, but you can put clearer boundaries in place and stick to them when your clients try to cross them.
Topics covered in this episode include:
How to stick to your boundaries Why clients appreciate clear rulesThe right way to communicate your boundariesHow to fix your boundary issues
If you don’t have any boundaries set up right now, watch and see how much easier your life gets when you start to implement them. Tune in to get started.

Terri, I have taken 52 weeks of mini workshops to Retreat/Biz summit. It inspired me to make you my business coach in 2020 for one year. You have changed my mindset and my way of doing business. It’s been absolutely productive and profitable and I also fell in love again with my business. So, Thank you so much. Now I value myself as luxury interior designer and I know I can deliver my design and get paid for it. 💲💵💛🥰🤍🖤🙏💪
The Interior Design podcast you need
When I started my design business last year, I felt so lost. I tried finding a mentor.. past professors, fellow design friends, but nothing worked. I’m so happy I decided to give this podcast a try.. the third interior design podcast I tried! And I instantly felt a shift. I will be listening to the episodes a second time but this time with a notepad!
AMAZING
I’m just finishing up design school and trying to start my first job this year and this podcast has been a huge help and guide.
Thank you!
