If your lenses are making your life and business more challenging than necessary, you might want to consider trying on a different pair.   Hear examples of how your current lenses might be manifesting in your life and business right now, and why exploring your lenses will leave you empowered and in control, rather than at the mercy of your business.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/39

82. Pep Talk: Control Enthusiasts

If you’re prone to overthinking, over-planning, over-perfecting, or over-tweaking aspects of your interior design business, this is a must-listen episode. You might be under the illusion that you’re ensuring the highest quality outcome by delaying taking action, but this is far from the truth. That’s why, this week, I’m flipping this common saying on its head and showing you how your business would benefit from putting in the reps, rather than waiting on perfection.   Learn how quantity creates quality and examples of where the concept can be applied in your interior design business. I’m showing you why overthinking creates an illusion of productive action, how increasing the number of actions you take is what will increase your skill, and what to expect once you begin practicing the belief that quantity creates quality.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/81

79. The Evolution of a Designer CEO with Client Heather Peterson

This week’s topic of competing desires is one that applies to you, regardless of the stage of business you’re in. Each year and each season of life will look different, and the goals you have for yourself and your business will continue to evolve. If you’re committed to achieving your goals, you must release the resistance of two desires being at odds with each other, and I’m showing you how this week.   Learn the two main ways I see competing desires showing up for my clients, and what’s required of you to bring your goals to fruition. Hear how to create space for all of your desires to coexist in harmony, and how to begin challenging your assumption that there can’t be room for everything you want to achieve.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/78
