We were lucky to catch up with Jessica Waters recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jessica, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Risking taking is a huge part of most people’s story but too often society overlooks those risks and only focuses on where you are today. Can you talk to us about a risk you’ve taken – it could be a big risk or a small one – but walk us through the backstory.
Hi! So I have owned my business J. Miles Design for 3 and half years and along side building a business I also worked a corporate job with Effectv for the last 14 years. When I started my business I knew it was just a fun side hustle, but ended up being a big opportunity for me and for me to do what I love for the rest of my life. I knew that leaving my corporate job would be a big risk, it was a stable, good job, with great benefits. But if I didn’t leave now, I knew I would regret not going all in on my business. I recently left my job and it was such a good business decision for me.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers?
I’m Jess and I own J. Miles Design. I started a virtual interior design business all through social media. It is such a passion of mine to design and decorate homes, and I knew I could help people all over the country if it did it this way. I am most proud of how quickly I grew the business and just all the positive reviews I get from my clients. I love my job!
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
I posted every day for 365 days, and stayed very active. It’s super important to be present. I also worked on new content and hiring someone to help me with that. My advice is to reach out to other people, and share their page. It will help you in return.
Any advice for managing a team?
My advice for managing a team would be to always be open with them, and make sure they are happy. Also giving them positive energy everyday is a big thing for me.
