Today with Desi Creswell: Welcome to A Well Designed Business. If you’re anything like me, you have a neverending to-do list. There’s always something else to get done, another box to check, another urgent task to complete. But when we get bogged down in those tasks, it becomes impossible to work on the business.  So how do we motivate ourselves to take a step back and work on the higher level needs? Interior Design Coach Desi Creswell shares her framework for getting big tasks done, even if it feels like you’ll never be able to.

LuAnn and Desi Creswell's Ah-Ha Moments “Ask yourself ‘Why do I think that my clients are worthy of my time and attention but my business is not?’” -Desi Creswell “There will never be a time where you magically have a week where you don’t receive any emails or phone calls or have any deadlines.” -Desi Creswell “What you want us to recognize is, we don’t just do it on Tuesday because we put it in our calendar to do it. We do it because on Wednesday we will be so glad we took the first steps.” -LuAnn Nigara Connect with Desi Creswell Learn more about Desi’s masterclass “The Focus Fix” starting June 7th, 2022 Website  Instagram What’s new with LuAnn Nigara Power Talk Friday Tour at High Point Exciting Windows!
