Are you starting projects without a profit plan, and hoping it all works out?
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m diving into the biggest reason designers under-earn: jumping into jobs without clarity on time, money, or scope. If you’ve ever found yourself discounting an invoice or redesigning a project just to meet the client’s “idea” of a budget, this one’s for you.
You’ll learn how to plan for profit before you ever write a letter of agreement, plus how to calculate fees, define deliverables, and set strong boundaries that keep your income intact.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why skipping planning is silently killing your profit
- The simple switch that keeps money from leaking out of your invoices
- What every designer needs to calculate a profitable design fee
- The power of client-approved budgets and clear deliverables
- How the Snapshot program helps you master all of this in just 6 months
