The McClain Method | Business Tools For Interior Designers

14: Listen To Your Heart: The Power of Being Original


Listen Later

In this podcast episode, I am talking about listening to your heart. đź’“

This could apply to all aspects of life, but for the purpose of this podcast, I am taking a sample of the first chapter of my book, The Designer Within, and diving deeper into Chapter 1 (also aptly called "Listen To Your Heart."đź’“đź’“

This episode is for both homeowners (clients) AND designers, so I want EVERYONE to listen up!đź’“đź’“đź’“

The first chapter of my book is my own home and I truly did listen to my heart when I was designing it, but this episode is much more than just a recap of the chapter, we also dive into some "taboo" topics that some are timid to discuss.

Here is what you will learn in this episode:
❣️ Why It's Important To Listen To Your Heart When Designing Your Home
❣️  Specific Ways That I Listened To My Own Heart In My Home
❣️ The Responsibilities of Both Designers & Clients When Designing
❣️  Why I'm Over "Copy Cat" Design
❣️ A Story of "Copy Cat" Design That I Experienced
❣️  The Real Reason Interior Designers Do What We Do

So grab a cup of something (or shake that cocktail shaker) and settle in as we talk about listening to that important voice that's in your heart.  💓💓💓
