Arrow - Hand Drawn BlueWhat is your BIGGEST challenge?Arrow - Hand Drawn Blue

If you’re a solopreneur, you’re probably struggling
with overwhelming challenges. Have any of these crossed your mind?

  • How do you keep your business going when the economy is so tough?
  • How do you deal with the changes in consumer attitudes – shopping you on the Internet and thinking they know more than you do?
  • How do you deal with clients and prospects who think you should charge less because they watch HGTV and have an unrealistic view of what professional interior design costs and how long it takes?
  • What are the best and lowest cost ways to grow your business?
  • How do you get the phone to ring more?
  • How do you get better clients who are willing to pay you what you’re worth (and what you need so you can do what you love)?
  • How do you get the work without feeling yucky and salesy?
  • How do you grow your business when you have to do everything yourself?
  • How can you hire someone when your cash flow is tight?
  • If you didn’t get a business degree, how do you run and grow a business without being an expert?
  • How do you make more money and not have to work more hours to make that happen?
  • How can you take a day or week off, or even get sick without losing revenue…or your business?
  • What do you do when the marketing that worked before the recession no longer works?
  • What happens when your clients start questioning your bills and refuse to pay?
  • Does social media really work for your business?
  • How do you keep up with the technology when you really don’t understand it or love it?
  • How do you maintain some sort of balance in your life?
  • How do you get the help and advice you need to get over your financial hurdles when you’re struggling to pay the bills?

Loved the one on technology, software, etc. to have. Loved the video marketing. They’ve given me the help needed to move ahead with technology without having to do the testing and research. I hate technology. I could have kissed you for bringing it to us.” ~Jacqueline R., Montreal QC

We’re interior designers, too, and we know how overwhelming your job is.  Because we understand that you really love design and probably don’t love the business part, we’re here to share the secret shortcuts, tools and systems that will solve your biggest challenges.

We’ll share the secrets we learned to grow a nearly $900,000 interior design business back in 2000 before 9/11. And, we’ll share how we’ve created a multi-six figure business since the recent downturn.

“This is by far the best investment I have made in my
design business and the return on the investment is huge.”

We’ll save you months, or even years and potentially thousands of dollars trying to find the right solution only to be disappointed and further and further from your goals.

“It’s great information, it saves me time, and it saves me the headaches
of taking a bunch of classes myself. It’s a one stop shop. It’s good to
hear the issues of other designers around the country to see that they
have similar issues.”
~Jeanette C., Monrovia CA

We saw your need (and desperation in some cases) and knew we could help.

“I think they will have to judge for themselves if this meets their needs. I think it would have been very helpful to me as a new designer. I find it helps me now, but I am looking for different things than I was at 1 year – 10 years into the business. I believe you have made a success of this because so many designers were not finding any one person or group or membership that would address their business and marketing and development. ASID has at times been great and yet there are designers who don’t have the inclination to involve themselves this way. Having the ability to ask questions and get answers from NON Competitors and mentoring is what makes this incredible.” ~Diana S. W., Houston TX “

“Well worth the money investment.” ~Jolayne H. Ozawkie, KS

“Take the time to listen to everything.” ~Marlene O., Glendale CA

“Thank you Gail and Erin for providing useful tools and templates, valuable commentary and specific action steps to help interior designers cut through the “noise” and focus on building their businesses in a profitable managed way.  Having been in the business world for many years I have a complete understanding of the mechanics, what I lacked was the time to produce all of the business tracking forms and templates for this young design firm.  You have cut my time tremendously by jumping ahead and providing these key items!  With DSU I continue to learn new skills meanwhile honing the old ones.  It is great to have helping hand and cool head to count on as a mentor!  Thank you!” ~ Starr M., Davidson, NC

“Since becoming a Business Mastery Member of Design Success University in 2008, I have no longer felt like a “sole” proprietor. With DSU’s support, I have been able to achieve new leaps and bounds in my email newsletter, the start of our Blog, and most importantly the way I approach my business. Before DSU we were “sales” focused, and now we’ve become “service” focused, which has attracted more of the right kind of clients to us! DSU’s targeted, relevant and informative Monthly Mentor calls allow me an opportunity for support when is convenient for me; without having to attend an event or lecture, and in the privacy of my own home, office, or on my iPod. I can listen to the calls over and over again, reinforcing the ACTIONS I need to take in my business. The best thing about DSU is the tremendous support and camaraderie I feel as being part of a global community of designers, who are all going through the same trials, tribulations, and successes that we are. Having been members of other professional organizations, I can say without a doubt that DSU has helped my business more in the short year I’ve been a member, than in over 15 years of experience in the field.  I can’t recommend membership enough, it’s become a vital part of Nirmada.” – Kati C., Nirmada Interior Design, NY, NY

“Practicing primarily residential design in a mid-sized city, I have always experienced a ‘guardedness’ among my design peers when it came to sharing information on business practices.  I became a Business Mastery Member after signing up for my first Design Summit because I wanted to continue having exposure to the completely candid information that other people in the design community were sharing through this venue.  I have learned valuable information that I continue to use to build my business.  The type of networking and knowledge sharing that the Business Mastery Membership offers continues to build my confidence in how I interface with clients.  I highly recommend this to anyone who works alone or runs their own design business.” – Robin M., Positive Environments, Rochester, NY

“Everything, I love everything! Best thing I ever did was to join this membership. It is like having a professional family of people you can learn from.  One of the biggest benefits I’ve received since being a Business Mastery Member is the new friends I’ve made.  I know that I am not the only one that is struggling out there, and I’ve learned new tricks of the trade from seasoned designers. The DSU Business Mastery Membership is priceless and you can’t afford to not be without it. Prior to becoming a member, I felt like my business was all over the map and had no sense of direction. There are many coaches out there, but there is really only one true expert for interior designers and that is Gail and Erin at DSU.  Thanks to their Business Mastery Membership, my business is more grounded which has helped me gain new clients and increase my income.” – Lynn M., Harmony Interiors, Frisco, CO

“The three biggest benefits I’ve experienced since being a Business Mastery Member – it has opened my mind to new ideas of marketing my business. I have a clearer vision of what I want the business to become. It is giving me some new things to think about and the tools for going forward. I’d tell other interior designers that are considering investing in the Business Mastery Membership that you have taught me the importance of having a specific business direction, the support to get started in that direction. This has led me to focus on re-branding my business for the New Year and to go forward from there.” – Kathryn D., Custom Creations, Marietta, GA

“I first became aware of Gail Doby and Design Success University from Ava Living. Gail was presenting an Internet seminar with twelve speakers in the design industry. The insights into the business of design, and advice on how I could change my business to move up to the next level were invaluable to me. I have expanded my methods of networking, and am applying the advice to my business practice. Now I look at my design business with a totally different view. The classes and interviews with professionals in the design industry are so full of information that I listen to them often and I have downloaded them onto my Iphone, so whenever I have a free moment I listen to session.” – Ernie R., Los Angeles, CA

“Run, don’t walk- our industry is rapidly changing and this is the place to learn strategies to adapt.” – Faith S., Seattle, WA

“The value for the dollar is pretty outstanding. There are plenty of other “gurus” who charge more than Gail and Erin and provide far less content. We get content chock full of useful information on a regular basis. The added benefit is this information is tailored to the design industry and not just “creative entrepreneurs” in general. These experts have been there. They have a unique understanding of our business because it’s their own.” – Lauren C., Oklahoma City, OK

“I always feel charged and back on task after learning from you. I gave some sincere thought to what I LOVE to do in my business…window treatments…I wrote in my gratitude journal that evening, ‘I have two window treatment clients in February 2010.’ The next day, a past client called to order two valances.  I know the second client will come soon. I also learned from you about qualifying leads.  For my window treatment side of my business, I created a PowerPoint titled ‘Layers of Window Fashions’ starting from ‘functional layer’ to ‘luxury layer’ to demonstrate the price, quality and components of the design.  I received an email inquiry yesterday and asked her budget and suggested she review the presentation.  Afterwards, she emailed me and thanked me for the presentation and complimented my work and told me her budget.  I thanked her and asked her to consider me for future custom jobs and was able to suggest alternatives to my services. I was able to qualify her comfortably and without a needless trip to her home.  So, long story short, I hope you see that I put your sage advice to work.  Your biggest fan.” – Tami S., Allied ASID, Valencia, CA

“Thank you…Thank you…thank you…the idea of removing constraints that I took away from your Business Mastery Monthly mentor Class was huge!  I identified mine while working through the 2010 Planning for Profits exercise and I’m in the process of removing it” Sandra D., Stow, OH

“You both are always there to answer any questions I may have.  You are the epitome of ‘The Go-Giver.’ When I started with DSU, I was struggling with what made me different from other designers.  Through listening to you, Michael Port and others, I now know how I am different and how I will market my business.  The Business Mastery Membership is well worth the money.  DSU has taught me so much about things I would never have known.  These include social marketing, identifying my ideal clients, how to be authentic, being able to narrow my niche and learning how to use my time more effectively and efficiently.” – Randy T., LLC, Brookfield, NH “I’m working diligently on all of the 2010 business strategies to jump start my year. Wow, there are a lot of forms to fill out and lots of planning to do!  Thank you for keeping me focused on my goal for success. Biggest benefits of the Business Mastery Membership?  Carving out the time for focusing on my business more.  The cost per month is far less than the value received from this membership.  I’d say that Gail’s questions to qualify clients from the Value Based Fee Series gave me my biggest AHA.” – Susan M. ASID, LEED AP, Trans-Pacific Design, Kamuela, HI

“Gail’s generous sharing of her knowledge, expertise and her authentic concern to save us time and energy by not making costly mistakes that she had over the course of her design career is a big benefit.  The three biggest benefits of the Business Mastery Membership – focus, clarity and confidence.  This is a no-brainer.  Gail and Erin deliver more value than I feel I am paying for. Gail truly wants to impart wisdom and knowledge which is evident in her preparedness.  Chunking time and lock down mode (thank you Debbie Green for that concept) – Great!” – Tami S., Allied ASID, Valencia, CA

“The most important benefits of the Business Mastery Membership include the connection and the high quality of information and ideas.  The passion and love for what we do and the difference we can make in the world – I appreciate being reminded of that.  You are doing an excellent job and we appreciate the fact that you ask us what we want to know more about.  Right now you have really helped us out with the recordings and transcripts…which are wonderful because I can rarely be present at the time of the broadcast. So, being able to listen and read is of tremendous value.  I cannot think of another thing you could do…the quality is excellent and the membership fees are reasonable and much appreciated.  I would highly recommend becoming a partner with you.  I feel like you have offered the highest quality information and ideas in everything you present.  You should be very proud of yourselves for the effort and the quality of what you give.  Speaking for many who may not speak up, we feel your love, your passion and your humanity and thank you for being who you are.  I look forward to the emails I get from DSU.  I actually relish them.  95% of my emails go in the trash. Yours I print out, I read every word, and file them.  I buy the books recommended and often buy the books of the speakers you have on your programs and read them.  Yes, the education has been great.  I have learned that I have done some things right by accident, and some things I am improving and changing.  But, the overall experience is new focus, a feeling of connection with people who are on the same path loving to reach out and help others on their journey, and I really appreciate that. “ – Carol I., Bell Canyon, CA

“The three biggest benefits I’ve received from being a Business Mastery Member?  Clarity, direction and affirmation.  What would I tell other interior designers that are considering investing in this membership?  Join! It’s an incredible bargain – don’t procrastinate.” – Faith S., Seattle, WA

“This is the best money I’ve spent to date on growing my business!  Thanks, Gail!” – Katherine B, San Francisco, CA
