When Lisa (name changed for confidentiality) came to me, she had a thriving
interior design practice BUT (and it's a big one) was operating entirely by crisis mode.
Every time her phone beeped, chimed, rang, or otherwise made noise, she answered it.
Her days slid by in a flurry of busyness but no real productivity.
She couldn't figure out why she was having to work into every evening after squeezing in dinner with her
husband and kids, and despite getting a 6am start.
Not to mention losing half of every weekend to her business as well.
And though she wanted to grow the business, she couldn't imagine taking on more clients.
She felt buried on a daily basis; it was as if her clients ran her business (does that feel familiar?)
When we had her VIP Day, a few months earlier, I'd walked her through simple steps to reclaim control of her day.
We mapped out an essential support team to help her recover time and get out of doing all of necessary business work that she hated and turn her focus to creative work that put her in her zone of genius.
(You don't really love creating purchase orders,
scheduling deliveries, tracking shipments, keeping your books, and chasing contractors, do you?)
She learned my process "Project Profit Timeline" that keeps every project on track and helps you pull more money in the door in less time and eliminate project gaps.
This same process also saves you boatloads of time on every project so you can take on more business, or reduce your work hours while
earning more (doesn't that sound good?)
Lisa had major project gaps where she hadn't fully finished projects but the client had moved in and was unwilling to wait any longer.
That's major money and opportunity left on the table (not to mention frustration at being incomplete.)
Lisa was very resistant to new strategies and systems even though she
said she wanted them. And she admitted that perfectionism was standing in her way.
Timing is everything and sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better.
While she brought on quality support team members quickly...
It took her almost 6 months of continuing in her old ways to finally have a breakthrough and take MASSIVE RAPID
ACTION on the actual strategies and systems I'd walked her through.
She immediately felt more in control and her confidence increased.
She applied "Project Profit Timeline"...
The gaps disappeared on projects, and her bookkeeper (a key support player she'd put in place) who provides reports weekly, pointed out the positive profitable
impact that was occurring.
Lisa even created time to get key projects photographed, BEFORE turning them over to the client, so she could enhance her portfolio and look at publication opportunities.
(She'd been wanting to pursue publication, but never felt she had the time or know how. I'd given her a PR blueprint and key resources to make that happen in her VIP Day.)
Note, if you don't photograph before you turn a room or home over to your client, it will never look the same again and you'll have to do a total restyle to get it ready.
As a designer, Lisa is truly talented (you are too.) She just never learned how to run or build a business.
Does that sound like YOU?
Are you
established in your interior design business but feel like it's running you instead of you running it?
Do you manage by crisis and which wheel squeaks the loudest? (Let me show you how to get rid of squeaky wheels altogether.)
Is your portfolio suffering because no project is ever complete or perfect enough?
Are you ready to streamline and scale
but have no idea how or what to do?
If this sounds like you, I'd like to meet (yes, virtually is great!)
I'm looking for my next "DESIGN STARS."
We don't know each other yet, and I'd like to find out more about you, your business, your big dreams, and see if I can help.
This is YOUR INVITATION to apply to be a case study in my launch of "DESIGN STARS."
I've opened up my calendar in the next couple of weeks only, so move on this NOW.
Your business is waiting, and more clients are hungry
for your unique brand of design talent.
"Design Stars" is a 6 month, high end program, where I take you by the hand and walk you through step by step systems and processes to streamline and scale your design practice so you make more (and keep more) in less time.
This program is exclusively for you when your revenues exceed $200K/year.
Your
application gives me a glimpse into your business and what you want most.
Most importantly it gives us each a chance to connect voice to voice for a "Design Star" Breakthrough Session.
It's where you get incredible results in advance based on the strategies and systems I share, and we each get to decide if we want to go farther.
You get to decide if you want to find out the details of the Design Star
program...
And I get to decide if you are truly a best fit for the program.
You get to test drive my expertise, my experience, my strategies, my systems and my style.
And I get to see if you are an action taker and really ready to rocket forward.
Can't wait to meet you.
Mega Hugs,
Melissa
