1 year in - Without a plan, without a background in furniture, without really any tools, that’s where D'ondra started her business.

So after 1 year, where is she now? Her company is strong, she has a growing list of customers, she is making profit, and she is enjoying the life of a furniture maker more than she could ever have imagined.

Let’s take an inside look into her first year and hear not only about the building and business side, but also what it feels like to run your own furniture company.

Follow along as we talk about pricing your worth, your first sale, the importance of happy dances, and much more.
