While seeking business knowledge and continuing education on furthering my interior design business I am  constantly hearing about the  goal of achieving a multiple million dollar interior design business. Now, let’s be clear….. that is an awesome goal and at one point that was a goal of mine too. I was thrilled the first year we broke a million dollar revenue. Beyond thrilled, all may hard work had paid off, hours and hours and years and years of work to get there and I was happy but weirdly not impressed with the actual profit that came with that revenue.  

I am not trying to change this  goal, nor am I telling you that this isn’t an achievement. What I am trying to tell you is that this goal is a great one IF you are charging the right rates in order to have a profit margin that allows you to sustain a successful and PROFITABLE business. 

So let’s talk profit margins!
