Indecision is expensive—and in an interior design business, it can cost you far more than time. In this episode, Kimberley Seldon talks with interior designer Jodi Cook Monts about the power of making decisions quickly and confidently. They explore how hesitation can affect profitability, project timelines, client relationships, and business growth—and why indecision is often a symptom of a deeper lack of trust and confidence. Jodi also shares how she expanded her design business beyond her local market, why existing clients are one of the best sources of new opportunities, and how a collaborative mindset can transform relationships with builders and other project partners. In this episode, you'll learn: - Why indecision is often a trust and confidence problem—and how it can cost your interior design business time and money - How making decisions earlier can protect project timelines, profitability, and client relationships - Why your existing clients may be the best source of second homes, vacation properties, and commercial design projects - How to successfully work on projects outside your local market—and why strong systems become even more important as you expand - Why approaching builders and project partners as collaborators, rather than adversaries, can lead to better projects and stronger relationships
