How to Own that Remodeling Job And Get Paid What You Are Worth

Right now, remodeling jobs might feel like a huge time-eater where you see little $ (and some frustrated clients) at the end of a lot of hard work…

Would you prefer remodels to be wildly profitable and positive instead?

If you’re ready to try a new way, I’ve designed this free online training for you.

Imagine what it would be like if you could DRIVE those remodeling jobs instead of feeling like you’re on a runaway train…

→If you could LEAD the client through the whole process instead of just ‘fitting in’ around the general contractor.

→If you could confidently quote your client what the job is REALLY worth instead of trying to squeeze the cost into a shape you think they can afford.

WELL, YOUR WISH IS GRANTED.

Join me for a free masterclass where I’ll show you how to take on remodeling jobs and be paid 3X, 5X, or even 10X more than you’re making now.

Learn the proven process every interior designer needs for more profitable remodeling projects.

This masterclass is for serious interior designers who want to bring high-profit remodeling jobs into their business.

For just 90-minutes of your time, you’ll walk away with a simple plan to make big money on remodeling jobs—right away.

Join Terri for this concise and powerful masterclass that will completely change your approach to high-income design projects.

"I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the recent Summit! I laughed and cried as we delved deep into the psychology of issues that hold us back from success. Here’s the big news; I went on consultation 2 days after Summit. The potential client assumed $100k for the budget. In the next moments, I calculated my fee based on my estimated budget for construction. I started by letting her know that I didn’t want her to encounter any surprises and I let her know that my fee would be $20K. Within 4 hours she contacted me to move forward!"

Coaching to Elevate Your Design Business

You’re a designer running a business and working hard to deliver beautiful spaces for your clients – there’s just one problem…

You’re too busy to make powerful changes that will propel you to greater financial success and freedom.

Our industry-leading online programs supported by personalized, design-business specific coaching, can help you with:

  • Getting ideal clients with real budgets who pay you what you’re worth
  • Putting an end to working until the midnight hour (or later!)
  • Removing the overwhelm and frustration of not having enough time to grow your business
  • Implementing plans and systems to help you get organized and run your business more smoothly

Growth

This is for designers who are getting great clients and are ready to start earning $10K/month in their businesses.


Shift out of ‘hours for dollars’ mode and into design fees that pay you what you’re worth. Get raving fans with the referrals to prove it, and gain clarity and calmness within your business.

Structure

This is for designers who have a business that’s generating $10K/month in revenue or more, and are at their limit of how much work they can do.


Regain your freedom by setting up your backroom systems, building a rockstar team, and creating leveraged income.

Masters

This is for designers who have a strong desire to reach 7 figures (and beyond) in their businesses.

Position yourself as an industry leader, gain major publishing opportunities, and mastermind with other high-level design entrepreneurs so you’re constantly inspired to grow.

“I thought I had a pretty good business starting with IDBA. I would set a goal of making $100K for the year and finish at around $80K, that’s pretty good! Then I joined the Structure program, with Terri’s help I set a goal for myself of $250K, worked on changing my mindset, focused on what I wanted and ended the year with a $260,000 paycheck! Spectacular!”

– Dana Bass, Interior Designer

BOOK A CALL WITH OUR COACHING TEAM

*Don’t worry, it’s a no-pressure conversation. We can’t wait to meet you and find out more about your design business.

I was in your program back in 2012 and I’m writing to you to let you know how well we’ve done and progressed over the years because of you and your program.

We have exceeded one million gross revenue the last three years in a row, and I purchased a 2400 square foot studio space in 2017 and built it out, something I never would have had the courage to do without your program. You made such an impact on me and my business. I remember standing in your living room in Tucson and telling my story of raising three kids in three years and when my youngest went to school my husband said now is your chance if you want to recreate yourself. I immediately enrolled in design school. My crazy stretch goal was to be able to let my husband retire and give him the same opportunity– he retired at 51 in 2015.

“I work so much less and am not stressed out over every second of my day being efficient due to the headache of documenting each hour so I can be sure to be paid. I have signed 4 new contracts in the past month, including a fee of 20K for new construction, and today a kitchen remodel for a fee of $14,500. Many thanks on all of your great guidance, insight and big brain.”

– Casey Brand, Design Consultant
