The McClain Method | Business Tools For Interior Designers

As  entrepreneurs or anyone working in a client facing business, we often find ourselves balancing our personal and business lives, and authenticity is the key to success in both areas. Authenticity is about being true to yourself and your values, expressing your genuine thoughts and emotions, and aligning your actions with your beliefs, motives, and personality. In the context of business, it means presenting your brand, products, and services in a clear and transparent manner, while selectively infusing your personal values.

In this podcast, we will discuss more about what authenticity is and what is is not, and my 10 steps to become more authentic in your personal and professional life:

1) Define Your Core Values
2) Love Who You Are
3) Tell Your Story
4) Build Real Customer Connections
5) Work In The Transparency Model
6) Lead Your Team
7) Be Authentic on Social Media
8) Love What You Do/Believe What You Sell
9) Stay True To Your Purpose
10) Embody Consistency

If you struggle with clearly defining your authentic self and showing it to the world, this episode is for you!

Welcome to the first episode of The Designer Within Business podcast! All of the episodes are designed to help you along your journey as an interior designer and business owner.

Today's episode is the "why." Why do I operate my design business as a business? Why do I place such stringent policies and processes in place for my clients (and me) to follow? Why did I want to share all of this information with you and the rest of the world? Well, hang on to your architectural ruler, this episode talks about my lowest point in life and career. And boy was it low! 

The very moment when I knew I had to make a choice to either slither away and lose everything or make big changes and begin the rest of my design career the right way. At this point, you know what my choice was, but let me tell you how I came to that decision and the steps I took to get there. Sit back and listen to the most pivotal moment in my life and career. I'm so happy you're here! Welcome to The Designer Within Business Podcast!
