Working All the Time but Not Making Money? Here’s Why.

Nothing will lead to burnout faster than working all the time but barely turning a profit. If you feel like you’re constantly in motion but your bank account doesn’t reflect your effort, it’s time to take a hard look at what’s really happening inside your business.

The reality? It’s not just about working harder—it’s about working smarter. And for many interior designers, the reason they’re struggling to make money comes down to five key issues.

Inside this post, I’m breaking down:

  • The hidden inefficiencies that are eating up your time and profits

  • The biggest pricing mistakes designers make (and why your rates might be too low)

  • How your marketing and client process could be attracting the wrong clients

  • Why your overhead might be quietly killing your profits

  • The first thing you need to fix to stop the cycle of overwork and under-earning

If you’re tired of working 24/7 and still feeling stretched thin, this article will help you pinpoint exactly what’s holding you back—and what to do next. Join The DTS Files for my advice.
