314. How Successful Designers Plan Their Year: My Proven Step-by-Step Goal Setting System


Listen Later

If you want 2026 to feel more intentional and less reactive, this episode is your reset.

In this guided Year in Review + Goal Setting workshop, I walk interior designers through my proven system to reflect on the year, review key numbers without overwhelm, and set clear goals you can actually execute.

Grab a notebook, pull up your calendar, and follow along.

Episode Highlights:

  • The year-end reflection questions that reveal wins, challenges, and money makers

  • The "Repeat vs. Never Repeat" exercise to guide next year's decisions

  • What to review financially (even if you've avoided it) and why gross revenue matters

  • How to calculate your consultation conversion rate

  • How to plan your year backwards based on project size and goals

  • Time blocking basics (free days, buffer days, focus days)

  • The mindset shift: act like the future version of you today

Episode Resource:

  • 10x is Easier than 2x
