If you aren’t tracking your time, you’ll never be able to know exactly how profitable your business really is. You won’t have those benchmarks that you need.

Tracking time can be such a sore subject with entrepreneurs and business owners and the interior design business is no different. It is easy to forget, can feel like an interruption, and can be hard to enforce with a team BUT it is the KEY to finding out the profitability of your business, charging the right amount, and being transparent with your clients. 

In this episode, we answer questions like…

  1. What do you even track? -(Hint: it’s  more than just your hours)

  2. What are the different ways to track your time?

  3. How do you go back and audit your project at the end?
