397 - Mary Cardinale - I Know What I Need To Do and Sometimes It's Hard

Mary is the owner of Bucks County Window Décor. She has been in business since 2007, offering custom drapery and soft treatments, fabrics, hardware, blinds, shades, and shutters to both retail clients as well as designers.  Her company is full-service and offers complete project management including measuring, ordering, fabricating, and professional installation.   After 8 years of working in the legal and corporate world, Mary left to stay home with her first baby.  She learned to sew as a newlywed so that she could have custom window treatments for her own home, which gradually started her business, as friends and neighbors asked her to create treatments for them.   Mary recently came back to the window treatment industry after a 4-year break working for a martial arts franchise where she learned the importance of systems, and processes and doing the same thing the same way every single time.    Mary is married to her super supportive husband of 34 years and has 2 grown children and 1 in college. Mary still enjoys sewing for fun, cooking for her family, playing with her black Lab, reading, and listening to podcasts.     She is the current Vice President of the NJ/SEPA Chapter of the WCAA.   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decoratingjunkie Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/buckscountywindowdecor/     Links and Resources; Never Split the Difference - Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss Atomic Habits by James Clear Kobalt Tape Measure
