089: How To Prepare For MORE Profit


Listen Later

Working in design, we know how important a living space can be for our clients’ well-being. We design entire rooms looking for ways to make our clients’ lives easier, more efficient, and more beautiful. But, how often do we do the same for ourselves? 

I’m not just talking about our curated office spaces. When was the last time you purged yourself of those old files, cleaned up your drive, and really took an inventory of your projects, resources, and client files? You might be surprised at how much what you hold onto is holding you back. I know this from experience–I have gone through my fair share of slow times in my business and I had to learn the hard way how my anxious reactions were not serving me. 

Today, I’m sharing my hard-won tips to prepare for your future profits without getting sidetracked by anxiety. Learn how the energy you project can draw positive outcomes and why decluttering both your physical and digital spaces is essential for creativity and productivity. We’ll also dive into practical tips for archiving old project materials and updating sample libraries to make room for fresh opportunities. 

Discover how visual clutter can stifle your creativity and get actionable strategies to foster a workspace that not only looks good but feels inviting and energizing. Let’s tackle those fears that you’re holding onto and stop them from holding you back!

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Opportunities for decluttering to create an environment that fosters confidence and positivity

  • Strategies for managing fluctuating demands using tools like whiteboards and Google Calendar to track projects

  • Tips on maintaining a visually organized workspace that fuels your own creativity

  • The correlation between the depth of client relationships and the height of business revenue
