Just like you curate your designs, it’s possible to curate your business. Be choosy when it comes to staff, clients and projects. Guest host and BOD™ Member, Laura Martin Bovard of LMB Interiors, interviews fellow San Francisco Bay area designer, Jennifer Jones of Niche Interiors, in this candid share-all conversation.

In this episode we learn:
- make the most of your time working for established firms
- the worst time to hire is when you need to hire
- listen for red flags during the initial phone call and during the consultation
- educate clients about the impact of delayed decision-making
- perfection is not the goal
- let go of self-doubt and trust your instincts
- be as picky about the staff and clients you choose to work with as you are about the person you marry
- know your value and speak candidly to clients about what your services will deliver
- letting go of the wrong clients and projects makes space for the right ones
- say NO, practice in front of the mirror

It’s time to take control of your business.
