EP 282 | Financial Planning for Interior Designers with Danielle Hayden
Are you building a profitable interior design business—but neglecting your own financial future?
In this episode, Kimberley Seldon is joined by Danielle Hayden, CEO of Kickstart Accounting, to discuss why interior designers need to think beyond day-to-day income and start building long-term personal wealth.
Too many business owners delay investing, believing they’ll start “when the time is right.” But financial security comes from consistent action, smart habits, and a willingness to stop playing small.
If you want to create a business that supports both your current lifestyle and your future goals, this episode will help you shift your mindset around money and investing.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
• Why interior designers should start investing as early as possible
• How small financial decisions can create long-term wealth
• Why playing small limits both your business and financial growth
• The importance of building personal wealth alongside business success
• Why you don’t need to do everything yourself as a business owner
• How shifting your mindset around money can change your future
