This week on Success by Design, I’m diving deep into one of my favorite topics: how to grow your design business thoughtfully, without letting it take over your life. I chat with Heather about the differences between W2 employees and 1099 contractors, and how choosing the right type of hire can make or break your business as you scale.

We also talk about coaching, systems, and one-on-one strategies for creatives who have already hit six figures but want to push into seven. I share how I help clients identify the small tweaks that make a huge impact — from finances to marketing to operational systems — without losing the creative joy that brought them into this business in the first place.

Toward the end, we get into something I’m super excited about: seasonal retail and holiday décor as a service. I walk through how to structure this kind of business in a way that keeps overhead low, maximizes convenience for clients, and still makes it profitable — because let’s be honest, people love a beautifully styled home at the holidays but often don’t have the time, space, or energy to make it happen themselves.

If you’ve ever wondered how to scale, hire smart, and explore new revenue streams while staying sane, this episode is for you.
