EP 324 | Overcoming Fear in Your Interior Design Business with Tina Ramchandani
Are fear and self-doubt holding you back from growing your interior design business?
In this episode, Kimberley Seldon is joined by Tina Ramchandani to explore the very real fears designers face—around pricing, marketing, client reactions, and decision-making—and how to move forward despite them.
Fear is part of the job, but reacting impulsively can lead to poor decisions and missed opportunities. Learn how to pause, gain perspective, and make more intentional choices that support long-term growth and profitability.
If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself or felt stuck in indecision, this episode will help you move forward with more clarity and confidence.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why identifying big-picture goals helps guide better business decisions
- How fear (“false evidence appearing real”) can limit your growth
- Why trying something new can help you break out of stagnation
- The reality that design and business growth are never a straight line
- How to tune out external noise and trust your own intuition
DESIGN INTERVENTION
