#43 | Money Routines for Interior Designers

Interior Designer's Business Blueprint  In today’s episode I want to share the 7 money tips that I live by as an interior designer! Maybe finances come easy for you or maybe you’re more like me where it needs to be built into your schedule and you need a clear list of what needs to be done, what needs attention, and what to focus on.   Here’s a glance at this episode… [04:26] I discuss making a ritual out of looking at your finances each week to create a habit and create a ritual of grabbing you favorite coffee or treat.   [07:45] I share how to start paying yourself first via auto-pay to create the habit that ensures you get paid and taken care of even from the start of your business.   [10:00] I dive into how to keep your money siloed and how I use this in my business to make sure my client money and my business money and profit stay separate.   [19:00] I discuss my method for how I use a recurring focused task on my calendar with a checklist to ensure that I can focus on what needs to be done without taking time as invoices, etc come in to stop and take care of those.   [26:30] I have questions for my bookkeeper throughout the month (as I’m sure we all do!) so I share how I manage these questions so that I can stay on top of what’s needed.   [28:30] I am a big advocate of auditing your projects to really get a feel for income and time spent on each project and share my methods.   [32:54] I share my simple method of using email tags to set up a system for knowing what needs to be paid or needs attention on the day you are doing your money work!   Mentioned in this episode:  JOIN: Interior Designer’s Business Blueprint Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones  Harvest $10 off of your first month WANT MORE?  - Template Shop - 10% off ANYTHING in the shop PODCAST10 (Limit one use per customer) - Blog - Free Resources FOLLOW ALONG - Instagram- Pinterest - YouTube ------------------------------------- ***Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts*** "I Love the Designer's Oasis Podcast" please consider rating & reviewing my show.
