Honesty time as we open back up for business in 2026.
It’s time to check in with yourself with the one soul-fueling, profit-driving question that actually matters.
Are you feeling energized by last year, or secretly fatigued as you carry it forward?
Do you have the Sunday scaries as you think about opening back up after the holiday break?
Some interior design business owners I speak with are not consistently booked. Others are busy, but their revenue is unpredictable or simply not where they want it to be. And almost everyone feels like they’re working hard without seeing steady, profit-driving, intentional progress.
And the thought of facing another year of that? #aspirinandblanket
It’s not you. It’s not a talent issue. It’s a CEO gap, whether you’re a business of one or a business of many.
When your business runs you, everything feels reactive.
You jump from task to task, design lead to design lead, project to project, hoping momentum will magically turn into profit and stability. Without protected CEO time, strategy gets pushed aside, and you end up treading water instead of moving forward.
Even as a solopreneur, CEO time is non-negotiable. It doesn’t have to be 30 percent of your week, but it does have to exist.
A few focused hours dedicated to strategy, marketing, and decision-making can radically change how your business performs.
CEO time is where clarity begins. And that’s where I come in.
Too many interior designers suffer from what I call Lonely Leader Syndrome.
Running a design business can be isolating. All roads lead to you. Decisions you carry alone. Pressure you carry alone. Second-guessing yourself without a trusted sounding board. That isolation keeps interior design business owners stuck and doubting.
And here’s something wildly overlooked in today’s coaching space. Until you understand how your creative brain is hardwired, and how that wiring affects your profit decisions, strategy, gumption, and follow-through, business will always feel harder than it needs to be.
Add unclear messaging, uncomfortable selling, inconsistent marketing, and loose operations to the mix, and it’s no wonder so many Interior Design CEOs feel like they’re spinning their wheels.
And the thought of jumping back into that for 2026? Yeesh.
