Want to boost your creativity, skyrocket your productivity, and reignite your passion for design? It might be time to step away.

In the latest episode of Success by Design, Katie Decker-Erickson reveals why intentional, strategic rest isn't just nice—it's essential for interior designers aiming for sustainable success. Whether you're running a growing six-figure firm or managing a booming seven-figure business, stepping away might be the secret weapon you're overlooking.

Discover:

  • How brief, intentional breaks can recharge your creativity, even when you're deeply involved in every aspect of your business.

  • The power of strategic delegation and why letting your team handle decisions (even the mistakes!) could be your next game-changer.

  • Why top-tier executives and industry leaders prioritize planned sabbaticals and what research says about their success.

Additionally, Katie addresses the most common fears that keep designers stuck at their desks and offers practical, research-backed solutions you can implement immediately.
