If you're ready to take your business to the next level, today's episode is for you! I am so excited to have my friend Katie Decker-Erickson on today's episode!

Katie began her career in commercial color consulting as a part-time passion project in 2007. Color Works, has grown into a multi-million dollar commercial design company, currently operating in over 20 states nationwide, with a fully remote team of more than a dozen individuals. Katie is known for her business acumen (having grown her interior design firm 1500% in a single year).

As a business coach for interior designers, she knows firsthand what it takes to build a thriving, sustainable business while staying true to your creative vision. With nearly 20 years in the industry and a Master's degree in Business Administration, Katie is actively in the trenches—elevating her own firm while helping other designers master the business of design through her coaching.

In her podcast, "Success by Design: Mastering the Business of Interior Design" she helps interior designers bridge the gap between creativity and entrepreneurship. Katie shares real-world insights, actionable strategies, and candid conversations to help you streamline your operations, increase profitability, and build a business that works for you—not the other way around.

She has a passion for teaching others (with 18 years teaching graduate & undergraduate university courses), devotion to her two young daughters, and commitment to women's empowerment both personally and professionally.

Today, we're diving into when and how to scale your business, the power of process-driven success, and why agility is your greatest asset as an entrepreneur. Enjoy!
