It's time to take control of your business & your life...from within

 

It's time to work less. It's time to live more. It's time to balance your passion for your interior design career or other creative career with your social and family life.

More money, better projects, free time (gasp!), happy team members, clients who respect your time and value your talents, projects that run like a well-oiled machine EVERY time.

All The Tools You Need To Build A Successful & Joyful Business

Here are some of the fabulous benefits you will find inside our program.

Systems/Processes

Why reinvent the wheel for every project? I will teach you my tried and true REPEATABLE methods to run every project like a dream! From the moment a client contacts you to the last accessory placed on the shelf, you have all of my systems and detailed processes to fully implement. Plug in your name and logo and you're off to the design races. 

Choosing & Pricing Your Services

It's time to dive deep into what it takes to keep your design business thriving. You will learn how to price your services for maximum profit, forecast sales, create a value ladder of services that gives you something to offer to almost everyone who reaches out to you (and to turn away those who are not your ideal client). You don't run a non-profit, so it's time to show you the money!

Marketing/Sales

 Don't let these terms scare you. I will teach you to not only sell your services to clients, but to sell your brand to magazines, large corporate sponsorships, social media techniques (including success as an influencer), and even when to "sell" to your design peers. You will leave this module feeling ready to market and sell in a non-threatening and personable way to anyone.

The Leadership Mindset Made Easy

It's time to take back the reins and set your mindset up for success. You will learn how to be confident in relaying your true value, to live in abundance rather than scarcity, delegate efficiently, and to know that you will have all of the behind the scenes essentials in place that will bring you more money and more joy.

Contracts

Let's face it without a great agreement, you have a very small chance of protecting all that you have worked so hard to build. I found this out the hard way many years ago, but never again! Access is available to all of the agreements that I use in my own company every single day. 

Vision & Mission Statements

Learn the differences between a mission statement and a vision statement and the detailed steps as to how to create your own. These two statements will place your business on the focused path to success.

Community

A crucial part of your membership is joining our private DSA Community. This thriving community is your own private community of your biggest supporters who are here to listen, encourage, and share! Think of it as Facebook but without all of the annoying ads and nosey friends listening to what you say ;)

Coaching Calls

Looking for an answer to a specific issue (or issues)? Group Coaching calls & Feedback Forums are available inside DSA Premium as well as individual coaching calls if you choose! John will coach you through to a resolution.

Don't Worry! There's a RoadMap Made Just For You!

I have developed a specialized roadmap to success for the Design Success Academy, so matter where you are in your business journey (brand-new, some experience, or total veteran), you can jump in and put the pedal to the metal on your path to learning & growth!

Hey Friend, I'm John

 

Just like you, I've been there: Cramming every ounce of work into the day, only to go to bed at night and wake up thinking of something I forgot. That feeling of opening your email (or worse your text messages) with one eye covered, hoping an irate client hasn't reached out. I was YOU! That is until I totally changed the way I run my interior design business once and for all.
