GATHER 2025 has been so much fun — meeting listeners, sharing stories, and celebrating this amazing community. Thanks for tagging me Tara!

I love this photo, because I had no idea the QR code was photobombing our selfie. 😂 But hey — since it did, you might as well scan it! 👀 It’ll take you straight to what’s happening this fall at LuAnn University. And trust me, it’s going to be a great semester you won't want to miss!

Now that’s what I call multitasking. 💚

We just wrapped up our Summer School Tips, and I have to share the last one from one of my newest LuAnn University instructors, Sonia Barney, who joined us last year in Vegas on the Power Talk Friday Tour...what a great group!

Her advice? Figure out what stage your business is really in so you can stop wasting time on strategies that don’t fit. Lead smarter, not harder. 💡

This is important — if you’ve ever been to my website or opened my pinned post, you’ve seen my quiz "What Level is Your Design Business?" You need to know where you are to know what you need NOW… and what you’ll need sooner, rather than too late.

“Your creativity thrives when your business operations are optimized.” – Porsche Williams

Guess what? Clients don’t expect you to handle every detail of their project, from beginning to end, personally. Sure, they expect professionalism, clarity, and consistency in your process. But they don’t expect (or need) you to do it all yourself. When you stop holding on to every task and instead create systems that keep things running smoothly, you free up space for your creativity and your leadership to shine.

That’s the kind of business that lets you serve your clients better and enjoy the work more.

Porsche joined me on the podcast earlier this year to talk about exactly this, and it’s an episode worth revisiting if you’ve been feeling stretched thin ➡️ luannnigara.com/1076-power-talk-friday-porsche-williams-create-a-better-client-experience-by-outsourcing-interior-design-back-end-tasks/.

I love this little reminder… 💚 This painted rock offers such a simple truth, and one worth carrying with us beyond the weekend and into our workweek. Because when we lead with gratitude, joy has a way of finding us — in the people we meet, the opportunities we’re given, and the moments we get to savor along the way.

What’s one thing you’re feeling grateful for as we begin a new week?

Happy Saturday! 💚

I hope you’re not working today — and if you are, I hope it’s because you planned it that way. Maybe you’re getting ahead so you can take next Saturday off… or the one after that.

That’s what I want for you: success on your terms. And I want to help you get there faster. That’s exactly why I created LuAnn University, to give you the knowledge you need to close the gaps in your business, so you can add time and profit to your life. (Because Saturdays should be for something fun!)

This Thursday, August 14th, we’re kicking things off with a free Zoom event: Prereqs for Success.

We’ll talk about what needs to happen before you put systems in place, tighten your numbers, or up your visibility. These are the simple, essential steps that create a strong foundation.

It’s free to join. Come spend an hour with the LuAnn University instructors and start building the business you actually want.

Just a few from my feed lately…📸 Thank you to everyone who came up to say hi, shared a conversation, a coffee, a laugh, or even just a smile, in Vegas last month during RESACON and Las Vegas Market.

Every trip reminds me how important it is to connect face-to-face when we can. There’s nothing like hearing your stories in real time, seeing the excitement in your eyes, and putting real hugs to virtual friendships.

And an extra-big thank you to those of you who tagged me in your photos — if you know me, you know I don't always remember to take my own! 😅 I rely on all of you to help me keep the memories alive.

Travel is wonderful, but it’s the people who make it meaningful. And this summer has been full of those moments I’ll carry with me for a long time. Keep tagging me — I see you, and I appreciate you. 💚

I’m beyond excited to be speaking at GATHER 2025, ASID’s national conference celebrating 50 years of design excellence!

From August 17–19 in Atlanta, the entire interior design community will come together for three powerful days of learning, connection, and inspiration. Whether you’re just starting out or leading your own firm, this event is where you’ll find fresh ideas, new relationships, and real strategies that actually move your business forward.

I’ll be leading two sessions designed to help you build more than just a busy business—one that creates real, lasting wealth and freedom.

Plus, I’m sharing smart, no-nonsense strategies for working with general contractors and trade partners so your projects run smoother and stress-free. Because let’s face it, how you lead your team and your trades matters just as much as the design itself.

I believe excellence is a decision you make every day. If you’re ready to step into your CEO role, sharpen your leadership, and surround yourself with a community that lifts you up—this is your moment.

To register and check out the full speaker lineup and event details go to luannnigara.com/event

Let’s show up, learn, and lead with confidence. I can’t wait to see you in Atlanta!

After a busy few months of travel, I keep coming back to this moment…and I can sum it up in one word — serendipity. 💫

This summer has been full of unexpected meetings, long overdue hugs, and connections that remind me why I love this industry so much.

Case in point: London. These photos take me back to the day I finally met Chloe Bullock and Jecks Stone in person. If you know the podcast, you know these two. They were both early listeners, and over the years we’ve built an amazing virtual friendship.

And then this summer, we made it REAL. The three of us, face-to-face for the very first time. Chloe and Jecks live hours apart, but they met through me, and they’ve built their own beautiful connection around their shared passion for sustainable design. To say this felt special doesn’t even scratch the surface.

Forty-five million roundabouts and a crazy train ride later (IYKYK 😉)… it was all worth the effort.

Here’s to the serendipitous moments that happen when you put yourself out there, and to the friendships that make this journey so much fun. 💚

I just wrapped up an incredible week full of ideas, conversations, and big plans. And here’s what I know: Inspiration is amazing… but it’s what you do NEXT that really matters.

You’ve been to Market, you’ve been to a conference — you’ve got pages of notes, a camera roll full of photos, and a head buzzing with ideas (that's me here 😉). Now what?

Here’s my advice:
✅ Pause before you dive in. Give yourself a moment to process.
✅ Pick ONE thing. Not ten, not twenty. The one thing that will make the biggest impact.
✅ Put it on the calendar. Because if it’s not scheduled, it’s not happening.

That’s how you turn inspiration into action, and action into results.

So tell me, what’s ONE thing you’re going to do this week with all that new energy? Drop it below👇 I’d love to cheer you on! 💚
