Thank you! Doing your own thing is not easy. Whoever says that it is, is either lying or has a chunky investment backing them up. Just keep going and don't quit. The ones who succeed usually are just the ones who didn't give up 👌🥂

Thank you but it's ok now. I learned so much from that experience and have been standing up for myself ever since. Sometimes we really need to end up int he mud to make sure that we have more success in the future ✌️🙂

Ahh, no problem 😊 Thank you for tuning in! I've got another similar video coming soon so stay tuned! ✌️

@@SpaceForEdit amazing! can't wait to watch!

Ohh, I know the feeling. Interior design job can be ridiculously stressful. Freelancing definitely felt less stressful in that aspect but it can get really challenging when there's no work coming in. That's one of the reasons why I stopped focusing on freelancing tbh. I'll speak about it on a video shortly. But in short- yes, have a part time job along your freelance biz if you can manage it. And focus on getting clients who can give you return business or some kind of contract for multiple months. That's how the most successful freelancers keep going 👍

Thank you! I love the job but I feel so stressed and burnt out these days and know that it’s not sustainable to be in my current position (with a very rude and shouty boss) for long so studying my options. What other route did you take other than freelancing ? Xx

When I was thinking about resigning I also looked at some sales options. So maybe work for furniture, lighting or fabrics suppliers as I knew of some people who had done that. But it's not as creative as a designers job so I knew it wasn't an option for me.. there's project management too. But I think the real freedom comes from doing your own thing on your own terms, just takes time, patience and grind to get there 💫

Agree! That’s the most enjoyable lifestyle for our field. Thank you , this has been very helpful- currently looking at potential part time roles that can sustain while I start freelancing/starting my own biz. Fingers crossed :)

You're welcome! Thanks for watching ✌️

Yep, for me it's really important that function and aesthetics are balanced in any space 👌 thanks for turning in Anna!

It is indeed... Unless you get out of the mushy, mundane studio work and get to work with clients who are ready to invest in your services. Then the job really is a dream for creatives 👌

🧡 thank you! There's too much faff out there so I'm always aiming for authenticity in my videos 👌🙂

For designers 👍

Hiya! I mostly work on commercial projects and do not place the orders myself. I will provide the client with a quite from to FF&E supplier and the client will make the purchase. I will still liaise with the supplier re specification and delivery details but the pure monetary responsibility stays with he client. I haven't got the insurances in place to take on that kind of responsibility 👍 Hope that helps 🙂🙌

Hi Danni! Welcome to the fam 🙂✌️ so glad you've found the channel and it's been useful info. I try my best to juggle between this and my design business so bare with me if there's a bit of silence from time to time. I enjoy making videos and plan to do it as long as I can 👍 Thanks so much for sharing the insight on this topic from the US perspective. I had a rough idea about the setup but this explains it all a lot better. Such a shame that you have to have a certain certificate to be able to grow your business. In the UK we can work with any suppliers and contractors on our own terms.

Perfect!👍

Eyyyyy! Haha, you actually checked out the video 😁👌 thanks for the coffee! It was delish and exactly what I needed to kick off the day! Hope all is good with you!

Not sure if I can agree with this one.. you can of course do what you want but the lies will soon enough catch up with you. If you're a person who can improvise and deal with issues on the spot then you might get away with it but if you can't... Then you'll be in trouble and risk looking like a fool and loosing the position after the probo period. And in some way the whole 'fakeness' will then follow you for the rest of your career. There are too many people out there who talk the talk but they haven't actually walked the walk which causes a lot of issues down the line.

@@SpaceForEdit you can lie to human resources. It's ok. They are not in contact with your boss or coworkers.

Good shout! 👌

There is some gains there but it all depends how well you are prepared for the self employed journey. I think there is a lot that you can learn from being an employee. And after a couple of years you can go out on your own as you've gathered a lot of knowledge about the industry 👍

@@SpaceForEdit you should make a video about self-employment. How do you promote yourself from now onwards?

Absolutely! And so important to learn from it all as well 👍 Thanks for tuning in 🙂

Oh wow, well done for jumping back into the industry! How are you feeling about it? And thank you so much for sharing the insights! As I compare it to the UK average, it does seem higher but then again your cost of living could be higher etc. Do you feel like your wage is fair compared to the work that you're putting in?

@@SpaceForEdit I do think the wage is ok but honestly would probably make more if I was working for myself and doing contract work… maybe. I’m not ready to go it on my own just yet. The networking, marketing and essentially getting my own jobs sounds like a bit much for the time I have to invest. I work for an architect and there hasn’t been a lot of interior design work in what they have done recently, so I feel a little stuck. Plus I have a newborn baby, still on maternity leave for another week… trying to figure out how to get work done with him in my arms.

it would be interesting, right? I find it that the salaries are very much tied to the overall economy level within the country.

🙂👍 Glad you found it useful!

Absolutely 💯 improving and upgrading with every project 👍

Exciting times ahead Anna! 👏 Hope it goes well for you. The more experience you get the clearer the vision you'll have on what you're able to charge 👍 And of course you can always jump on the mastermind if you want to dive deeper.

Oh wow, that's an interesting change. Hope it all goes well. And yes, sustainability is one of the main topics/challenges in the design industry now 👍

Ahh, congrats! You've got your foot in the door and now it's only up from here 👌✊ Hope the next opportunity is a good one!!

You're welcome! 🙂👌

That's great!! Clarity is the best business strategy 👌 good luck with your projects!

Oh cool, hope you've got some inspo out of this! Good luck with your studies😊 I'm.making a new one about office design but it will probably be another month until it comes out 👍

Oh actually, maybe my concept design video could be useful as well. I talk about a recent office project I worked on there 👍 might be able to find some nuggets there!

You'll get there Aby 👌😊 it does come with time and experience but you gotta believe in yourself too 💯 you got this!!

The closest you will probably get to is my latest video on concept design and the cafe design one where Ive vlogged the design process from initial meetings to site install and final reveal. Hope these will help 👍😊

@@SpaceForEdit wow thankyou!
