People think that what we do is ‘make pretty spaces.’ And that makes sense; what we do is beautiful in the end. But what I’ve said before, and I’ll say again, is that we also affect the quality of the lives of the clients that we serve. By doing these construction projects and dialing in the customization, we not only make things beautiful but we impact the happiness and well being of our clients. Today, we’re diving even further into this topic so that you truly understand the power and elevation you bring to your client’s projects.

Whether that’s in various FB groups, my course, or a Zoom call with one of you, it inevitably comes up in every call. We all want to be making the money we deserve and profit from the actual time we spend.
