    Unblock Your Cash Flow: Strategies to Free Up Money Fast

    293: Unblock Your Cash Flow: Strategies to Free Up Money Fast

    Have you ever hit a point where your design business cash flow just isn’t flowing? The truth is that money doesn’t always stay steady—it moves in and out, up and down. In today’s episode, we’re digging into how interior designers can get the money moving again with quick cash flow wins, plus a long-term cash management strategy for financial stability and growth.

    Topics Mentioned:

    • Profitability

    • Financials

    • Pricing

    • Strategy

    Key Thoughts:

    • We just make much better decisions when we've had good rest, good sleep practice, good eating and health, and then those things start to go away because of the worry and the stress that comes from not having enough money. As we all know, one of the number one reasons is that small businesses fail is lack of cash and lack of cash flow management. Michele Williams

    • Start asking is there anything that we need to do on our side as the business to satisfy a need that would allow that money to be paid. Michele Williams

    • If you're not billing directly dollar to dollar, penny to penny, it can be very easy to get underwater on that so that you're absorbing more cost because you don't want to pass them along to the client, and after a while you're eating into your profitability. Michele Williams

    • Cash flow is usually enhanced by ensuring that we've got the right pricing, that we're monitoring the cost of the product and the cost of running the business, and then that leads us to profitability. Michele Williams

    Hospitality is Profitable for Everyone
    Sep 1 2025
    292: Hospitality is Profitable for Everyone Welcome to today’s episode! With me is Rick Campos — a recovering interior designer, podcast host, and design business coach. Rick is certified in Coaching the Unreasonable Hospitality methodology, and we’re diving into what it really means to go beyond service and show up with true hospitality. Stick around for practical insights and action items you can start using right away in your interior design business. Topics Mentioned: Hospitality Community Intentionality Listening Key Thoughts: Recognizing where the client touch points are and recognizing the likes and the wants and the desires of that individual client actually slows us down enough to make it an intentional meeting so that we can make sure we're touching all of the things that matter to them. Michele Williams I have tested the theory, and it does work because it means you're listening, and all of a sudden that evokes an emotion, a feeling, and that's what makes a true impact. It's what makes an ordinary moment extraordinary. Rick Campos The nice thing is you can build it into the business and it's not an accidental. These things are very thought out and planned for even within individual budgets. Michele Williams Those are the moments that we focus on, that we drill into. Not the big moments that everyone else is paying attention to because everyone else is already doing it. It's those little moments that's going to set you apart.

  • 3 Ways to go from Hobbyist to Interior Design Professional

    3 Ways to go from Hobbyist to Interior Design Professional
    Aug 17 2025
    291: 3 Ways to go from Hobbyist to Interior Design Professional

    Welcome to the show! Today we’re diving into how to go from hobbyist to professional—whether you’re in interior design or building any creative business. We’ll cover three powerful areas that can transform your journey: mindset, boundaries, and intentionality. So, grab a pen and paper, and let’s reflect—where are you still showing up like a hobbyist, and where are you ready to level up and own your role as a professional?

    Topics Mentioned:

    • Mindset

    • Boundaries

    • Intentionality

    • Sustainability

    Key Thoughts:

    • When we have the mindset of a professional, we're certainly going to create a boundary to make sure that we're making a profit or we're not going to engage in the work. Michele Williams

    • Being intentional about what we do, having these mindsets that we talked about of a very professional mindset, creating good boundaries, all of those things start to move us into that proactive stance instead of a reactive stance. Michele Williams

    • Having a very intentional, clear focus of what you're doing really creates grounding, it creates trust, it creates an environment where people can get behind it and kind of push that boulder uphill with you because they all know that they're pushing in the same direction. Michele Williams

    • Sustainability shows up because we have sustainable processes, we have sustainable team dynamics, and we have sustainable profitability. Michele Williams
