As a seasoned designer, how can we best support, encourage and inspire the emerging design professionals coming up behind us? Interior Designer and BOD™ member, Annie Elliot says it’s important to have a framework (like Business of Design®) thank you. And make sure newbies know the fundamentals, so they’ll succeed faster.

In this episode we learn:
- start with a framework (BOD™ works!)
- pay yourself first and build the business model around taking a salary
- be honest with prospective clients; ask for more money if that’s what you need
- setting parameters doesn’t scare clients away as frequently as it motivates them
- set a minimum with your first job out of the gate, you’ll succeed faster
- don’t reinvent the wheel—just follow a process that works
