Description

Are you giving away your time and talent in the name of overdelivering?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, we’re digging into a sneaky habit that’s hurting your profitability—overdelivering to clients. Whether it’s showing too many design options, re-researching selections, or trying to “earn” your fees after the fact, these actions can backfire and actually lower your perceived value.
I’ll show you how to set respectful boundaries, build trust, and get paid what you’re worth—without burning out.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing too much for too little in return, this episode is your roadmap to reclaim your time, energy, and income.

In this episode, I cover:

  • The hidden cost of overdelivering at the concept stage
  • How your money mindset might be sabotaging your boundaries
  • The truth about client “choice addiction”
  • What happens when you don’t stand behind your letter of agreement
  • The small conversation that leads to big respect
