Are endless client revisions derailing your design projects?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m sharing how boundary issues and a lack of Systems are at the root of most revision chaos. I’ll walk you through a real story of a talented kitchen designer whose client just kept changing her mind—and how it all could have been avoided with the right structure in place.
If you’ve ever been trapped in revision after revision, struggling to say no or draw the line, this episode will show you exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to protect your time (and profit).

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why revisions go off the rails
  • How to stop resenting your clients
  • The boundary script that makes you look generous and professional
  • How to handle “one more little change” without giving your time away
  • Why revisions need to be limited in your letter of agreement
