Are you committed to success—or committed to habits that are holding your business back?

In this episode, Kimberley Seldon challenges interior designers to examine the systems, behaviors, and assumptions they may be clinging to, even when those practices are no longer serving them. While change can feel uncomfortable, recognizing when it’s time to pivot is often the key to growth, profitability, and a better quality of life.

For interior designers who feel overwhelmed, overbooked, or stuck in old patterns, this episode offers practical guidance on knowing when—and how—to make a change.

In this episode, we learn:
• Why changing familiar habits can be uncomfortable but necessary for growth
• How to recognize when you have more clients than your business can effectively support
• Why taking action early prevents bigger problems later
• How to communicate fee increases professionally and confidently
• Why successful business owners regularly evaluate what’s working and what isn’t
• How letting go of outdated systems creates space for better opportunities
