1050: Power Talk Friday: Amy Posner: How Interior Designers Can Be the Expert, Not the Order Taker

A Well-Designed Business® | Interior Design Business Podcast

Today With Amy Posner:

Welcome to a Well-Designed Business. Are you the expert in your business? The one driving conversations? Solving problems? Showing your clients how valuable you are, setting expectations, and running the ship? Or are you an order-taker, following along, being passive, and serving as a yes-man for your clients?

Today, I’m joined by Amy Posner, business coach with years of experience helping freelancers and small business owners take control and build stronger, more successful businesses–we’re diving into how to stop being an order-taker and start showing up as the expert.

LuAnn Nigara and Amy Posner's Ah-Ha Moments

“The more that you own it and the more confident you are and you exude that, the more people are like, okay, great. You're the expert, you're the pro." -Amy

“You got to do it easy breezy. Like this is what it is. Whether it's $20 or $20,000 or $200,000. This is what it is. This is just what it is.” -LuAnn
