In today’s episode, we’re cutting through the fluff and getting real about profit, pricing, and what it actually takes to run a design business that pays you well and feels good to run. Interior designer Lindsay Kjellberg shares how she went from nonstop hustle and just $30K in profit on $800K in revenue… to working 30 hours a week, taking vacations, and pocketing $250K a year (without working harder!)  Spoiler: joining Business of Design® was a total game-changer. We’re diving into the smart decisions she made—like charging for consultations, tracking all her time, and raising rates with confidence. If you're ready to work smarter, earn more, and finally feel in control of your business, you’re going to love this one.

In this episode we learn:

- profit matters more than revenue

- charging for consultations attracts serious clients and boosts conversions

- billing for every minute of your time can double your income without raising rates

- higher rates and smarter project selection create more freedom and less stress

- mindset shifts—like valuing your time and ignoring outside opinions—fuel real growth
