Entrepreneuress 101: 3 tips for attracting your DREAM clients + a video

I can vividly remember first starting out as an interior designer in NYC all on my own, no one to help guide me or to answer my questions. I was desperate to keep the momentum of the blog going and at the same time fuel my decorating/design business for maximum growth. I've tried, tested, failed, succeeded at every trick under the sun. Trust me, I know what it takes and what it means to hustle.  

There are so many things I wish I would have known when first starting out. However, I don't regret learning every lesson because of course, it has led me to have my dream business today. In fact, I recently did an interview with a major design based podcast (more info coming soon). After answering all the questions, it really got me to thinking about my true passion, sharing more. So, today's YouTube video is a special one for all my interior designers, decorators or any fabulous entrepreneuress. Check out my video for the 3 things I did when I wanted to begin to attract my ideal clients. 

After I began working with my coaches, I realized just how much working smarter and not harder can serve you. I learned the value in clarity. I know from experience running your own design business is difficult, scary and sometimes we can feel so alone. 

I want us to feel less alone. Like we are all in it together. So, if you want more of that in your life I suggest you join my Unleash Your Ista  home study program, if that's right for you. It will guide you to creating more of YOU and YOUR desires for a more blissful business. 

Office space of the day + a video

For some reason I have always loved office spaces. One of the very first columns on my blog was "office space of the day". Today, I want to bring it back because I work on so many office spaces around the world. Yes, I do virtual office design. I can't express the importance of a well done office space when it comes to any entrepreneur or #girlboss. Office is the backdrop for your success. 

One of my most favorite examples is the office space of the blogger behind Margo + Me. She's got such a soft and feminine style and her office is the best representation of that brand. 

See the whole office here. 

You want your office to represent who you are, your brand and what you do. I will be showing more examples weekly of brands and offices that reflect that well. 

For now, see how you this office makes you feel. Wouldn't you like to work from an inspiring home office? It doesn't have to be an entire room, my office is just one small nook in my living room and I am obsessed with it.

I can't deal with the glam wallpaper and vanity area. It's so beautiful and represents her brand perfectly.

I'm often getting asked about blogging, creating a brand, etc. So, I definitely want to always share more of what you guys are wanting to know. . .here's a little video for you about what I think about blogging in 2017.
