176. Understanding Pain Points: How To Build Success For Your Business
After talking to and hearing from many designers and hearing all of their questions, I started noticing this underlying theme in most of the questions the designers were asking.
I thought it couldn’t all boil down to this one similarity, but it did—and that was pain points. Almost every question I read involved a lack of fully understanding the pain point of whoever they were working with.
So, in today’s episode, I’m diving into the importance of identifying and addressing the specific challenges and issues not only your clients face but your industry partners and yourself as well. Missing the mark on understanding pain points can hinder successful project outcomes! I share how you can avoid this by investing time into truly listening to your clients, and industry partners and taking time to evaluate what is going on in your own business that may be presenting itself as a pain point.

174. Risk and Reward: Strategies for Designers to Thrive
Today, I’m covering a topic that has been coming up in conversations I’ve had with designers lately: the aversion to risks.
I am hearing from designers like you about all of the risks they are trying to avert—financial security, reputation damage, and legal risks—and they are normal and to be expected. But when they get in the way, you miss out on potential opportunities. They can slow down your career advancement and reduce your competitive edge.
So today, I am sharing some examples of each of these that can come up in your career and breaking them down into bite-sized pieces so that you can breathe a sigh of relief with a path moving forward, walk away with some actionable steps to mitigate these risks, start calming the spiraling down, and make professional and advisable decisions on exciting new opportunities!

173. The Transformative Power of Interior Design on Wellbeing
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.
