    Topics Mentioned:
    • Strategy

    • Visionary mindset

    • Investment

    • Management

    Key Thoughts:
    • There is no shame in where we're starting from. The only shame that comes is if we stay there too long out of fear or not doing something so that we never progress. Michele Williams

    • I think people underestimate how much time that truly takes to own that role of CEO visionary. Yes, you might not be knocking off tasks for one of your projects, or for one of your design projects, but it takes true time and intention to get into that visionary mindset and really predict what's to come. Courtney Bramlett

    • When we are thinking about moving forward and strategy, I would say the more that you can build it in from the beginning at least the idea of strategic thinking, which means this business is more than what is happening today. Michele Williams

    • The best strategizers can strategically think through their daily task and how to align it to that vision state, and that takes time and practice and by allowing yourself that time to even do it. Courtney Bramlett

    Jul 6 2025
    288: Invest in Yourself for Business Growth Today on the podcast, we’re joined by Kacey Graham, owner and principal designer of Boehm Graham Interior Design. From working alongside her mother on over 17 interior design show houses to leading her own successful design firm, Kacey shares her inspiring journey of business growth. We’ll dive into the key investments she made in herself and her team to build a thriving interior design brand. Topics Mentioned: Self investment Growth Hiring Excellance Key Thoughts: I needed someone that really had a different energy and a different experience base, business mindset, and financial backing. Enter Michele Williams, Scarlet Thread Consulting. I remember crying and going, I can't afford to hire her, and it was kind of like I slapped my own face and said I can't afford not to hire her. And that was the best decision I ever made. Kacey Graham Everything's building blocks. So, we can't skip over those heavy, difficult pieces. Whether it's in organization or marketing or financials, we've got to put the basic building blocks together. Michele Williams It's going to be an evolution. Much like our homes are our workshop, our businesses are always evolving and always improving. That should always be the goal. Kacey Graham You've got to have your thumb on the pulse of what's happening in the economy because hiring somebody to do something today that we hired three, or four years ago the price would be completely different. Historical data informs the future.

  • The Hidden Costs of Winging It in Your Design Business
    Jun 15 2025
    287: The Hidden Costs of Winging It in Your Design Business

    In this episode, we unpack the hidden costs of winging it in your design business. Michele shares why flying by the seat of your pants can lead to burnout, missed opportunities, and financial messes. She dives into the power of intentional planning, strategic hiring, and clear marketing—all rooted in a strong, future-focused vision. If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing, this one's for you.

    Topics Mentioned:
    • Missed Opportunities

    • Peace

    • Process

    • Being Intentional

    Key Thoughts:
    • When I was winging it, I realized there was a huge cost to me, to my peace, to my time, and certainly to my money. Michele Williams

    • We're working on the wrong initiatives, the wrong plans, and things that might support us in the short term, but not in the long term. Michele Williams

    • I would like to work with an intentionality on where I'm going, what I'm doing, who I'm doing with, and how I'm going to show up in the world, because that brings me peace. Michele Williams

    • The goal here is to really be able to have an intentionality in what we are doing so that as we do it, we know that we are checking off those tasks and those goals that are moving us closer to the business that we want to become. Michele Williams
