For years, Menlo Park, California–based interior designer Amanda Teal did what many designers do—she charged an hourly rate for her services, plus a markup for the products she procured. Eventually, a growing firm and a loss of passion for her day-to-day role in it led Teal to reevaluate her whole business and outline new parameters for the kind of work the firm would take on. It’s a story about growing a firm on your own terms, and how a fresh start can be the best thing for a business.This episode was sponsored by The Shade Store and SideDoor.  LINKSAmanda TealKaitlin PetersenBusiness of Home
