Create a Portfolio

As you volunteer to make interior design changes for friends and family members, keep a record of what you do, thus building a portfolio that will help you when you look for a paying job in industry. Companies will be much more likely to hire you to be an interior designer if they can take a look at some of spaces you’ve designed. Your portfolio will help a potential employer get a feel for your talents, your perspective and your ideas.

Start Out On Your Own

If you would like to become an interior designer, but don’t like idea of working for someone else, you may want to choose to go into business for yourself. If you decide to do this, it’s helpful if you’re someone who is self-motivated and who isn’t afraid to self-promote. You might want to work from home at first, thus saving money on office space. Referrals from family and friends may be best way of getting work to begin with and then word of mouth can do wonders to help you build your business if people like work you do.

He didn’t have to say any more, I got picture.

Most people stay where they are for many reasons, number one reason is because they are comfortable in what they do and where they are.

Not to say that this retiree did not work hard, he did, and deserved to get where he got.

Taking a closer look at this gentlemans career, I could see that he never knew comfort zone, he didn’t like sight of it or smell of it. He was constantly challenging himself, learning new things, going to night school, and taking advantage of every type of training his company offered.

He did not work harder than any of us, he only worked smarter, his pro-active habits lead him down road to success and ended with a happy ending.

To summarize this article, comfort zone is dangerous because it is holding us back, holding us back from unleashing potential we know we have.

Learning new things and taking on new responsibility is very important to our career, it makes us more productive, which leads to bottom line, more money! And will undoubtedly open doors of opportunity which we never would have know existed!

One last thought on this subject...

Before Wright brothers built first airplane, they owned a bicycle shop, imagine if they were comfortable with just that!?
