During uncertain economic times, we need to really look at how our design firms are maximizing profitability and a big part of that is product profit margins. In this episode, I share three reasons for reselling products and what the top four items with the best margins are. I give you a couple of examples of why I used to do it, why I switched my process and the script I use to communicate the necessity of this to your clients. 👉 Comment LISTEN and I will send you the direct link to your inbox!

I changed the entire kitchen design mid-reno 😬 Yes, I am a designer and yes, I did plan out the kitchen in detail before starting the project. However... I had my heart set on this 36in @KitchenAid_CA built-in refrigerator and I was NOT compromising! This refrigerator is counter depth which means we are not wasting food that has been hidden in the back. PLUS, it has an ice maker 🙌 My old refrigerator didn't have one! And the ice maker does such a wonderful job, we never worry about running out when we host a party! 👉 Comment KITCHEN to see the other design decisions I made that I am LOVING! #rebeccahaydesigns #rebeccayhay #interiordesigner #interiordesign #interiordecor #interior_and_living #toronto #canada #mycovetedhome #InteriorDesignMagic #kitchenreno #kitcheninspo #kitchenaidcanada

I redesigned and renovated my entire kitchen and it was stressful (but I am SO in love 😍). Let's just say... when supplies are hard to come by and there is a dip in the labor force, it's going to be difficult to stay on schedule and on budget. BUT... the reno turned out better than I could have imagined and I am in LOVE with my extraordinary kitchen (and new @KitchenAid_CA misty blue commercial-style range!) 👉 Comment KITCHEN and I'll send you the full video where I share my 5 best design decisions for this reno! #rebeccahaydesigns #rebeccayhay #interiordesigner #interiordesign #interiordecor #interior_and_living #toronto #canada #kitchendesign #kitchenreno #kitcheninspiration #kitchenremodel #mykitchen #kitchenaidcanada

I’ve been there, shifting from treating design as a passion project to running a profitable business that supports my life. I vividly remember those days when I was caught in the web of being a hobbyist, designing more for the love of it than the business behind it. As much as we get into design for the love of it, it is still a business because, hey, a girl’s gotta eat (and support a family and just live). It’s all fun, rosy, and hobby-like until it’s time for your annual review, and you’re staring at that Excel sheet stressed out of your mind, telling yourself something has to change! In this episode, I shared personal anecdotes, key differentiators, and actionable tips to help you transition to a proper design firm owner and not a hobbyist!
