Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in home care but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Mandie Rodriguez, Founder of MLR Interior Design, located in Ocean Springs, MS, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
MLR Interior Design is a full-service interior design firm. I help families design homes where they can entertain family and friends and reflect their own personal style. I identify the potential the space has to make their home their favorite place on earth.
Tell us about yourself
Interior Design is a second career for me, but one I am passionate about. Every day, I wake up and create spaces for my clients that improve their overall quality of life. I love helping people, and seeing their reactions is my favorite part!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
In June 2020, we moved to a city where I knew no one, and I started MLR Design. Watching it grow to where it is now two years later is very rewarding.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest thing that comes with being a business owner is wearing all the hats. You are responsible for everything, so you have to be willing to learn and know when to delegate.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
My top three tips for someone looking to grow a business are to know your client and speak to them, find a good mentor who can guide you, and don't be too hard on yourself.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Life's short, and if there's something you're passionate about and love doing, then that's what you should be doing.
