Boundaries and People Pleasing
Are you saying “yes” to small design jobs just to be nice—or to avoid a slow season?
In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m diving into the real cost of people pleasing and how it undermines your time, energy, and business growth. Whether you’re helping a past client with a hallway light or hustling through low-paying work out of fear, these yeses are likely blocking you from the bigger jobs you really want.
I’ll show you how to shift your mindset, set a strong minimum fee boundary, and stop letting guilt or fear run your business.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by tiny jobs or pressured to take work that doesn’t serve you, this episode will help you take back control.
In this episode, I cover:
- Why people pleasing blocks profitable opportunities
- The mindset trap of “I should help”
- How small jobs sabotage big ones
- How to implement a minimum design fee boundary
- What to say when a past client asks for “just a quick thing”
