106. The Hiring Mistake Keeping Interior Designers Overworked

Episode notes

Send Katie a Text Message!! If you’ve been feeling stretched thin and thinking, “I just need to hire another designer,” this episode might shift everything for you. I’m breaking down why hiring an assistant designer is often not the solution you think it is - and what’s actually keeping you overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in your business. IN THIS EPISODE: Why hiring an assistant designer often doesn’t solve overwhelm The difference between task support and true decision ownership How being the bottleneck is really what’s draining your time The most common hiring mistake I see interior designers make The roles you should consider hiring before another designer How to identify what your business actually needs next I see this pattern constantly - designers assume they need more help doing the work, when what they actually need is support running the business. If everything still flows through you, adding another designer won’t give you your time back. It just adds more moving pieces to manage. This episode will help you rethink how you hire so you can finally create real capacity instead of just shifting the overwhelm.
