1118: Sponsored Show: Jamie Gasparovic: Why I Invested in the Interior Design Standard

Today With Jamie Gasparovic: Welcome to A Well-Designed Business. What comes to mind for you when you think of investing in yourself for the benefit of your business? It’s something we talk about a lot on the show—it’s no secret that I believe every designer, every business owner period, needs to be investing in themselves as soon as possible. But too often, even when business owners do invest in their own growth, it stays behind the scenes. They take courses or hire coaches, and they don’t really talk much about it. And that leaves so many other business owners asking themselves, “Is it REALLY worth it?” In today’s sponsored show, my guest Jamie Gasparovic is doing the opposite—she’s here as a spokesperson for Sandra Funk’s Interior Design Standard, sharing the difference it’s made in her business, and why she will invest in herself again and again to grow her CEO skills. LuAnn Nigara and Jamie Gasparovic’s Ah-Ha Moments: "That's what's in the standard. It's not just do as I say, it's hear how I say it." - LuAnn "The first project I did after the standard was so smooth... I just set the expectations up front. Everything went off without a hitch. And it was like, wow, that was way, way easier than what I've been doing." - Jamie "The standard is not a course. It is the back end that successful design firms are using." - Jamie “Business owner hat first wins the day. Show up as designer second.” -LuAnn More About Jamie Gasparovic Jamie Gasparovic is the dynamic Founder and Principal Designer behind her boutique full-service interior design firm, Studio Gaspo.
