If you’re in your first year of running an interior design business, this episode is for you.

Anna Baldi is the founder of Contrast Interior Design and a recent graduate of Power of Process. After spending two decades working in commercial and set design, Anna finally listened to the entrepreneurial itch she had ignored for 20 years. She quit her job without a backup plan and started her design business the very next day.

In this conversation, she shares:

  • The breaking point that led to her big leap
  • What it was like launching a business from scratch
  • Why she joined POP (even though she was hesitant)
  • How she gained the confidence to implement a $5K minimum design fee
  • The systems and boundaries that changed her life and business

This is an inspiring and practical episode full of honest takeaways for anyone starting their business journey.
