“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things”
These well known lyrics from the Sound of Music lead us to Day Six of of our 12 Day Countdown – Suggestions for things you can do this month to prepare for a fabulous 2009! Why not spend some time thinking about the reasons you became an interior designer in the first place. Ask yourself:
- What do I enjoy most about being an interior designer?
- On the days I’m excited to get out of bed and start the work day, what am I doing?
- Why is being an interior designer fun?
- What makes me a great interior designer?
By allowing yourself even ten minutes to think about what it is that you truly enjoy about being a designer, why it is you became an interior designer in the first place, you will rediscover the areas of your business that you love. Those are the areas that you should focus your time and energy on – why not make that one of your goals for 2009! Doesn’t the saying go “Do what you love, love what you do.”
Chances are pretty good that you are currently handling some areas of your business that you don’t enjoy – and quite possibly don’t excel at. Why not make 2009 the year when you delegate some of those responsibilities? Of course, Gibson Design Management would be an excellent choice for handling the Purchase Order Management, CAD Services and Accounting Services. But maybe what is dragging you down is creating and maintaining a website or blog. Good news, there are people out there who LOVE that and are really talented at it.

So take some time this month and really think about why you became an interior designer, what are your “favorite things” about being a designer – and then figure out how to get back to spending your days doing what you love.
