In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneurs Podcast, I speak with Aarti Popat, Interior Designer, Consultant and Mentor at Aarti Popat Interior Design and The Interior Designers Club.
From the age of 15, Aarti dreamt of becoming an interior designer and becoming her own boss one day. After studying and working in her dream career for more than a decade, the time came to fulfil the second part of her desire and start her own business. The opportunity came when a paid project landed in her lap. She followed this with a website and social media presence...only to discover that she needed more that this if her business was to thrive.
