Description

You’re not a charity. You’re not your client’s financial rescue plan. And you’re definitely not in business to burn out.

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m diving into Part 4 of my Financially Sustainable Design Business series—and this one is all about the energetic side of money. Because here’s the truth: the mindset and beliefs you hold about money can block profitability faster than any pricing mistake.

I’m sharing how to stop subconsciously repelling money, why over-giving leads to resentment and burnout, and how to shift into a healthy “giving + receiving” loop that creates consistent income. Plus, I’ll walk you through the practical side of sustainability: setting income targets, reviewing every job like a scorecard, and tracking the KPI that truly matters—job profitability.

If you want a business that’s profitable year after year (without hustle), this episode is your wake-up call.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why your money mindset impacts your ability to be financially sustainable
• The difference between welcoming money and repelling money
• How “client-first” thinking can quietly turn your business into a charity
• Why burnout and resentment are the warning signs of undercharging
• The infinity loop of giving and receiving—and why you must allow both
• How to track income daily to grow your revenue consistently
• How to set annual + monthly gross income goals that actually work
• What job profitability is (and why it’s your most important KPI)
• The profit margin targets you should aim for in furniture and remodeling projects
