EP 205 | Building Wealth as an Interior Designer with Kimberley Seldon

Are you building real wealth—or just working hard to earn a paycheck?

In this episode, Kimberley Seldon challenges interior designers to think differently about money, compensation, and long-term financial security.

Too many talented designers work full-time hours while earning far less than they deserve. Kimberley explains why simply generating revenue isn’t enough and why paying yourself properly is the foundation of a viable business model.

If you want to create a business that supports both your present lifestyle and your future financial freedom, this episode is essential listening.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why many interior designers are effectively earning minimum wage
• The importance of paying yourself first as a business owner
• How salary reveals weaknesses in your current business model
• Why profit only exists after all expenses—including salaries—are paid
• The difference between earning income and building wealth
• How accumulated wealth creates freedom and retirement options
• Why profitability must be intentional, not accidental
