Interior Designer's Business Blueprint

Today we are talking all about hiring - specifically, how to know when its time. The reality is that many of us, as designers experience the struggles that we are talking about today and we end up throwing money at or wasting time on the wrong things  - when really the answer is hiring help in your business.

Here’s a glance at this episode…


[06:26] I share the honest truth that sometimes if you are not enjoying your business anymore and feel like you’re losing your creativity and your love for your work, you may be in need of help i.e. hiring!

[08:35] I dive into the second way to know it’s time to hire - you are overwhelmed with the business tasks and the day to day and losing your time in all of you necessary admin work.

[09:38] I share how the necessary details that go into every project can be bogging you down from really working on your big picture goals. Someone else could be doing some of this behind the scenes work for you.

[14:05] If your client work is suffering and the experience is dwindling, you may have too much on your plate that could be handed off to another team member via hiring.

[15:42] I talk about team burnout and how not hiring can affect the rest of your team and how this may include your team not focusing on what they are best at as everyone takes on projects that are out of their wheelhouse.

[18:05] I share how to start hiring, who to hire and what you should be looking for to offload  some admin work. I share an exercise that will help you take action now in deciding the next first step!

[28:05] I talk about how not hiring can actually keep you stagnant and keep you from making more and providing a greater level of service for your clients. I leave you with a few thoughts on mindset and how to make that first hire (or next hire).
