This pandemic is making a lot of business owners question what they should do. Should they keep their employees on? Should they keep meeting with clients? Should they promote their services? And for some, they’re wondering if they should even open their doors again when all this passes.

Y’all, you are not alone in this uncertainty. Anyone who works in interior design knows that our customers see most design services as luxuries right now. What does that mean for our businesses?

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my good friend and award-winning business consultant, Cheminne Taylor-Smith. Cheminne is one of those people that doesn’t beat around the bush. And, she knows what she’s talking about. She’s worked with everyone from Architectural Digest to Elle Décor. I’m getting her thoughts on what all interior designers are questioning right now. And I think her brilliant, to-the-point advice will benefit us all.
