Ep 165: Did the Nonsense Sneak Back In? The Mid-Year Reset for Designers

Six Figure Designer

Show Notes

At the beginning of the year, we talked about doing things differently, creating space, getting lighter, and deciding what no longer deserves access to you. But halfway through the year, it is easy for the old ways to sneak back in. In this episode, I’m talking about the mid-year reset so many designers need, especially when you are tired from being “on” for clients, contractors, vendors, family, and the business itself. This is not about creating a massive new plan but taking a breath, looking honestly at what is working, what needs to be refined, and what needs to be removed before you carry it into the second half of the year.

If you’re tired of chasing leads, talking people into your value, or saying yes to projects that make you question your life choices, Luxury Client Academy may be your next step. It’s my private 1:1 coaching program for interior designers ready for better projects, higher fees, and less nonsense.

If you’re an interior designer who keeps hitting the same comfortable design fee, this episode is for you. I’m sharing Tina’s story of going from a $17,000 design fee ceiling to a $96,000 fee and the shift was not that she suddenly became five times better at design.

If your interior design fees go down when you really want a project and shoot up when you’re hoping a client says no, the fee may not be the real problem.
