I Love this Woman

Sarah Richardson is an interior designer whose television shows can be found on HGTV.  She has had several different shows over the years, but her current project is Sarah 101.  I don't always love her style, because it usually looks a bit too commercial for me, but I think she has a great personality for tv: fresh, positive, with a little edge of sarcasm.  And I like watching her process throughout the different jobs she takes on.

I found a great article on her website, www.sarahrichardsondesign.com.  In it she talks about building her business, and the ways that she has learned to discipline herself to get the job done.  I think the advice in this article can apply to any job, not just design work.  It's mostly about assertiveness.
