“Design Success was the perfect program at the perfect time. As a new business. I was searching for help with a framework around which I could grow my business and that is exactly what Design Success provided. The content was relevant, and I particularly found it a great help in defining steps, priorities and goals. Also, the camaraderie of fellow participants and the network of like-minded and positive designers that has come from this program is invaluable. Donna’s friendly and positive teaching method is so enjoyable and her encouragement and affirming ways push you to challenge your boundaries. I thoroughly recommend this program to both new and established designers who are looking to refine their systems and expand their business.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about Donna Jones, Design Success Program. Every week she continued to share ‘her gold’ with us, which has saved many, many hours of research and costly mistakes as I begin my own Interior Design business. Not only did I learn vital information and practical tips on how to run a successful interior design business, but I also learned a lot about myself through Donna’s passion for personal development, meditation, gratitude and positive affirmations. A fantastic course and I wish Donna every success with her businesses.”

“Having completed the Interior Design Institute’s Diploma (after deciding on a complete career change), I was excited ab out the prospect of creating my own business. Buy how and where should I start? I was very fortunate to be told about Donna’s Design Success program. What an inspiring journey! I would have never dreamed that in the space of a couple of months my own business would actually be launched, complete with a logo, website, Facebook page – and even clients! Donna’s course guides you through best practice for your interior design business – in a warm, encouraging and super inspiring way. She shares openly and honestly from her experience as a designer and business woman – and she has helped me set up my business form the outset so that it is ready to grow. I’m now lucky to be part of her Network Success tribe of like-minded women to encourage and help each other as we build our businesses. You won’t regret working with Donna – prepare yourself for a great journey!”

“Donna’s Design Success Program was a commitment I had to make and I’m so grateful I did! Not only did she provides us with a 10 week program that grew ad stretched me beyond my means, but she provided a group where we could be honest, share our achievements and actually connect online, connect so much that I am catching up with my group down in Christchurch in a few weeks. Seeing others grow and complete the work we were set each week made me more competitive and drew out strengths I did not have. I thoroughly recommend this course as Donna shares her experiences and practices and how we can systemise our businesses to success. Not only does she change your mindset on money and finding that ideal client, but she shares her suppliers and knowledge so that we can all run a successful business. My business would not be where it is now if it wasn’t for Donna creating this course, I have my ideal client, I charge what I’m worth and my time management of work life balance has turned around.”

“Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take part in your wonderful and inspiring Design Success Program! Since completing the course I have gained a huge amount of self-confidence not only in myself but my business and I look forward to all the great things that lie ahead. Going out on your own can be hugely rewarding, but with it too can be the feeling of isolation. I no longer feel like this is a daunting journey I must take on my own, because through Design Success I have meet some amazing, talented likeminded woman and a network of support I can trust. I feel I now have the right tools and connections to go forward, have confidence in my ideas and grow my business! Donna your energy and enthusiasm for life is inspiring and infectious, thank you for being honest and open with your own struggles and successes you have had on your own journey. It helps me to think anything is possible if you want it bad enough. I had some real struggles and hurdles when I first started my business and I know how easy it can be to give up when the going gets tough! But I didn’t and I can honestly say each time I have put myself out there I get rewarded. On a daily basis I use your tools or think of all the positive advice you have given us girls, it’s often how I start my day! Thank you again for developing this course and sharing your knowledge.
