🎉 A New Year, a New Start!

Happy New Year, and welcome back.

2025 is here, it stretches out blank in front of us, which could be quite overwhelming, except that it comes with incredible potential for growth, change, and success...and you are part of a collaborative group that will provide the structure and accountability you need to make consistent progress! 

January is our time to set the tone, and I can’t wait to help you kick things off with clarity and purpose.

The most important news this week? The Hothouse Facebook Group is now OPEN!

This is our hub – a private, supportive space where you’ll connect with like-minded interior designers, share your goals, and take meaningful steps forward in your business.


📌 Step 1: Join the Group and Say Hello!

👉 Click here to join the Hothouse Facebook Group

Once you’re in, introduce yourself! Share a little about your business and your goals and aspirations for 2025.

I’ll be in the group reading every message and responding – I can’t wait to meet you there. Sharing in Facebook in this way might feel a little weird to begin with, but you get back what you put in, so let’s start building the community that will support us all year long.

💭 Step 2: Imagine Success – How Will It Change Your Life?

January is all about resolutions and vision boards; let's take a moment to daydream. If you achieve your goals this year, what will be different in your life?

• Will you feel more confident as a business owner?

• Will your finances improve, reducing pressure on you and giving you more freedom?

• Will you have better relationships with clients, and feel more in control of your business?

• Will you have more time to enjoy your personal life or pursue creative projects?

• Will you bring in other professionals to lighten your load, and allow you to play to your strengths?

Think beyond your business – imagine the personal ripple effects of your success. What will achieving your goals allow you to do, feel, or experience?

Here’s a thought: The clearer your vision of what success looks like, the more motivated you’ll be to work towards it. So, take five minutes, grab a cup of tea, and picture yourself at the end of 2025, celebrating all you’ve achieved. What does that feel like? What difference does it make to your life?

🔎 Step 3: Identify What’s Blocking You

Ahead of our live launch event, start reflecting on where your business is thriving and where it’s stuck. Ask yourself:

• What’s working well?

• What’s holding me back?

• Of the things that need attention, which one change would make the most meaningful difference?

Common areas to consider:

• Marketing: Are you consistently attracting the right clients?

• Systems and Processes: Are you working efficiently, or are things slipping through the cracks?

• Client Management: Are your clients happy and well-handled?

• Training and Skills Development: Are there areas where you could improve your expertise?

• Mindset and Confidence: Do you feel strong, capable, and ready to take on challenges?

Be ready to discuss this during the launch event – 2025 is the year to tackle these blocks head-on!

📅 Step 4: Diarise the Live Launch Event

📅 6:00 PM, Monday 7th January | Live in the Facebook Group

This event will set the stage for the year ahead. I’ll explain how Hothouse works, what you can expect each month, and how to make the most of this opportunity.

Make sure you’re there – it’s the perfect way to start as we mean to go on!


✨ Let’s Make January Count

2025 is a blank slate, full of potential. The steps we take this month will shape the rest of the year, so let’s get started with energy and purpose.

Together, we’re going to make big things happen. I can’t wait to see what you achieve!


🫶 It’s More Fun With a Buddy!

Everything’s better with a friend, and Hothouse is no exception. Think about someone who’d love a free year of business motivation and coaching – and share this with them!

• Invite them to join the Facebook group.

• Share this newsletter and the live launch event details.

• Let’s grow this community together and make 2025 a year of shared success and connection.

See you inside

Julia

Founder, Hothouse

Hothouse #89 - Pens down, very nearly
I am writing this at the tail end of what can only be described as an essay crisis, and tomorrow the essay gets handed in. On Monday 28 September, the Interior Design Practice System launches. It is 80 lessons across 14 modules, and it follows the stages of the design process from first enquiry to handover. I've built it as a companion for the working designer: somewhere to find the systems and...
Hothouse #88 - Business In A Box, and Life In A Box
It is another short issue this week, and next week too.  In the next fortnight I will be focusing on client work. Business in a Box opens tomorrow, with our first live session on Tuesday. The Interior Design Practice System launches a week on Monday. I am running a CPD for the BIID on Thursday, and the diary is full of client and accountability sessions.  Alongside all of that, moving house was...
Hothouse #87 - Accountability Issue
Hello 🚚 I am moving house this weekend, and this is the thin issue I warned you about.  So: the dates, the numbers from my week, and nothing else. Normal service resumes for Q4. I committed to publishing every Sunday, not to publishing at full strength every Sunday. It's days like today that matter the most.  1. Coming Up in Hothouse 📆 The Interior Design Practice System. Launches on 28th Sept...
