Description

Do you feel like you're always putting out fires in your design business?
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m showing you how Systems create freedom—not restriction. By treating every task like a one-off event, you end up stressed, overworked, and overwhelmed. But when you put repeatable processes in place, everything changes.
I’ll walk you through the mindset shift required to embrace Systems, explain what Systems really are (hint: you’re already using them in your daily life!), and reveal how to offload work to your team while still maintaining creative control.
If you’re ready to step out of burnout mode and build a business that runs with more ease, this episode is your roadmap.

In this episode, I cover:

  • What a “Systems mindset” actually means
  • The difference between structure and rigidity
  • The 4-phase design process you can apply to every job
  • Why you don’t have to do it all yourself
  • How Systems let you delegate while still delivering your signature quality
