Like many creatives, I tend to avoid looking at my business numbers but that’s not going to be true after this conversation! Danielle Hendon of 4Corners CFO empowers and encourages entrepreneurs to get their heads out of the sand and confront their numbers - including me during our conversation.
Danielle shares her fascinating career origin story, the effect the pandemic had on its trajectory, and why she is dedicated to increasing livelihoods and legacies instead of shareholder value. We commiserate about not being able to outsource our brains, being avoidant of money talk but still needing to strategize. She talks about money and an end-of-year review not being a judgment tool but a way to understand the story of your business.
You'll end this episode with advice, insights, and immediate actionable steps for this end-of-year season as she shares the exercise she takes her clients through, the true goal of a budget, and the types of clients she prioritizes. It's an episode you don’t want to miss!

The best plans are made ahead of time! Even though 2024 is not over yet, it’s the perfect time to take a look back at the year, assess, and start planning for a successful 2025 now!
In this episode, I list key questions that will help you review your year in business as a business owner and human. Your end-of-year review should not only look at your financials but also your livelihood, because what’s the point of running your own business if you aren’t growing and making positive changes in your life?
You’ll determine what worked and what didn’t in 2024 and use those insights moving into 2025. I share some of my own answers, a few more vulnerable than others, and how I'm using that introspection to inform my business next year.
Some of these questions will be easier than others, but each one is worth taking the time to answer because I believe digging into those can only benefit us in the long run as long as we concentrate on progress over perfection.
Before the end of the year, I encourage you to take time to reflect, question, and assess so you are better prepared for a successful year in business in 2025.
Get your pen and paper ready because this episode has some notes and homework for you to do!

You’re in for a treat with this episode. It's Resilient by Design LIVE!
This episode is the panel discussion I hosted with three talented and experienced designers at Fall 2024 High Point Market, Renee Biery, Dina Holland, and Jamie Merida, all about the complexity of our business and its profitability.
We had an incredibly candid discussion about what works, and what doesn't, tipping points in their business journeys along with lessons and insights about pricing and profitability in different interior design businesses. Each guest shared what is fundamental to their brands, billing essentials, and structures, and how they identify clients from right and wrong for their businesses.
Stay tuned as there are truly a few gasp-worthy moments before getting into some nitty-gritty thoughts about hiring. This episode is one for the books, so I recommend you grab a paper and a pen to take notes because you’ll end the episode with lots to think about depending on how you want to run your interior design business.

I'm bringing all sorts of new things to the show today! While at High Point Market, I sat down with Jude Charles, who produces documentaries for entrepreneurs, including the phenomenal docuseries with LuAnn Nigara. We spoke in depth about the power of storytelling in your business - from marketing to client relations.
Through this episode, Jude shares many of his own personal stories as he walks us through his approach to infusing the personal with the professional through his films and in marketing. He encourages interior design business owners to focus on the 'why you' aspect, their core values, and the realization that you are more than just your portfolio.
Listening to his story, I was moved to share a few vulnerable stories myself, including how I felt about them then and now. Because of the intimacy of our design work, Jude inspired me and I hope you, to take note of your experiences and absorb these narratives into your business and life.
Stop playing small because your story is your strength!

As Design Business Owners, we're all doing the best we can with the tools we have, but due to the nature of our solo businesses we can sometimes feel alone, isolated, and adrift. I felt this way too for the first few years in my business! That is until I found my secret weapon and made it a core facet of my business over the last few years - and that is community.
I want to encourage us all to give ourselves grace, be less hard on ourselves, and share a few ideas on how we can build community and connect to shift the narrative. After all, comparison is the thief of joy so instead of isolating ourselves in our towers looking out into the world, let's foster connection, friendships, and community to build up, support, motivate, and encourage others and ourselves.

If you ever wondered if the grass is greener in the product world instead of the service realm, this episode may set you straight. I'm beyond impressed with my guest, Whitney Atkinson, who is the owner and inventor of WUGS which are weighted rugs!
She shares the inspiration behind her new business venture, how she balances her design business while sewing 8 hours a day, and how she brilliantly set up her company to eliminate the sourcing legwork. She confesses a few hard truths about the allure vs reality of providing products and the lessons she's learned on her journey so far.
The hustle is real with this woman and her advice about focusing and following your strengths as well as getting out of your comfort zone to chase your goals left me encouraged and motivated and I know you'll feel the same.

Burnout. We've all been there and I have too.
Today I'm sharing my own recent experience of hitting a wall after burning the candle at both ends and sharing this information for myself as much as for you.
My motto is progress over perfection; I feel like I forgot it for a moment. My body involuntarily gave that reminder after going so hard that I ended up in bed for two days. We all need to be wary of wearing our busyness as a badge of honor.
I get it! As entrepreneurs, we’re naturally wired to have dreams and hopes and always work toward the next achievement. But alongside that, we need to remember to respect our bodies, rest, ask for help, pause, and really prioritize so we can safely manage our mental, physical, and emotional health without hitting rock bottom.
If nothing else, this episode serves as a reminder that we’re all human and we need to honor our limits! No matter how much we believe we have our ducks in a row, sometimes life does get too much and instead of racing against it and believing we can tackle it all in an impossible amount of time frame, we need to pause and realize that by burning out we’re not doing ourselves any favors since we’re our best asset in our own business!
