140: From Poverty to Limitless Profit: Your Interior Designer Mindset


Listen Later

In this episode, Melissa dives deep into the subconscious money beliefs that are silently shaping your design business—from the way you price your services to the clients you attract. If you've ever found yourself undercharging, over-delivering, or justifying your rates with “I’m not experienced enough,” this episode is your wake-up call. You’ll learn how your inherited and unexamined beliefs are costing you profit, energy, and growth, and how to reprogram those thoughts for wealth and worthiness.

Melissa walks you through not only the common money myths that plague interior designers, but also practical, mindset-based strategies to flip your internal script. She shares actionable steps to help you increase your income by expanding your belief in your value and capacity. You’ll finish this episode equipped with tools to align your business mindset with your financial goals—and to confidently own your worth as a designer and leader.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL HEAR:

  • (01:26) Why “money doesn’t grow on trees” and other inherited beliefs are keeping you small
  • (03:37) How broadcasting your “newness” as a designer can sabotage trust with potential clients
  • (06:20) The fear of outgrowing your circle—and how to choose expansion over playing small
  • (12:13) The hidden cost of undercharging and over-delivering: up to 50% profit left behind
  • (17:54) A powerful exercise to expand your capacity and reframe your financial potential
  • (26:14) The mantra that changes everything: “The right client values the transformation we deliver”
