Planning Your Year 2026 - Interior Design Business Academy

Imagine stepping into the new year with total clarity, confidence, and a plan you can actually follow.

Planning Your Year

Just like every successful room design begins with a clear concept and a space plan, a successful business begins with a vision and a strategy.

You’d never start buying furniture without measuring the room first—because chaos, overwhelm, and costly mistakes always follow.

The same is true for building a profitable design business: planning first is the CEO secret that supports sustainable success.

Planning Your Year is a powerful 4-hour interactive Masterclass experience designed to help you take control of your time, your priorities, and your business profit outcomes for the year ahead. Instead of reacting to whatever comes your way, you’ll map out a deliberate path—one you choose—so every month moves you closer to the business and life you want.

Until now, this Masterclass was available only to IDBA students—but for the first time ever, we’re inviting the public to join us for the affordable price of $187.

We’re excited to share the same powerful planning framework that has helped so many designers transform their design business.

Tuesday, January 13 | [11:30] AM – [3:30] PM PT | Online Via Zoom

We hate spam too. IDBA will only use the e-mail address you have given to us to communicate with you about our services.

Let's face it, this uncertainty isn't going anywhere yet...

Rising costs, unpredictable supply chains, and technologies like AI, mean your design business is being tested in new ways every day.

But here’s the good news:

The designers who succeed in this new era won’t be the ones who hustle harder.

They’ll be the ones who know how to adapt, stay confident, and keep profits steady — no matter what’s happening around them.

This masterclass will show you exactly how.

“My salary has gone up about 200% since I started working with Terri. I need a dry-erase board now to list all my current projects because it’s too many to keep in my head! I set boundaries with clients, which has helped me make my family a priority. Terri has made a lasting impression on me as well as on others. Because of her program, I’ve developed confidence and found empowerment through designers I’ve met from all over the country! What I learned from Terri has changed my business and will continue to do so for a lifetime."

“IDBA has changed my life for the better on so many levels, personally, financially, and professionally. I owe so much gratitude to you, Valerie, and the rest of the women involved in IDBA. This group has allowed me to have a safe space to feel supported and uplifted. I am so grateful for the organization you have created. I know I would have never made this much money but mostly importantly I would have never felt so whole as a person.”

"This year I took the time to grow my business further and learned how to run a successful design firm. Thanks to IDBA, I can see my hard work paying off and received this gorgeous achievement bracelet as a gift from Terri. I broke the glass ceiling and I will wear it with pride! By applying what I learned this year, I can reap the benefits of what I always wished to come true. Thank you, IDBA, Valerie, and all of my designer friends for your help, motivation, and support. If you would love to see your design business reach new levels, check out IDBA. It's worth it!"

In this Masterclass you will:

Step into CEO-level decision making by establishing a clear line between working in your business and working on your business so you can move out of production mode and into business growth.
Set new standards, define non-negotiables, and gain clarity on where you are now versus where you want to be.
Choose your top four high-impact “big projects” that will drive growth in your business in 2026.
Use our Project Planner to break each project into steps, anticipate obstacles, and set realistic timelines that support smooth, consistent progress.
Finish the session by writing powerful, future-focused goals that bring clarity, intention, and energy to the year ahead.

When you leave, you’ll have a structured plan, a practical weekly business-building schedule, and a renewed sense of purpose. No more drifting, guessing, or hoping things fall into place. This year, you decide what happens.
