As a result they can run their practices on autopilot, stress less and save time! After being in the accounting world for five years, Alyssa struggled with streamlining her practice. She felt frustrated and nervous and couldn't sleep at night not knowing where her client work would come from. She was overwhelmed by all the daily tasks, lost track of work and just couldn't keep up. Alyssa hit a wall and decided to make a change, so she started to automate her practice by creating workflows, systems and processes.

Mentioned in This Episode: Alyssa Rosenheck Alyssa Rosenheck on Instagram The New Southern Style Decorating Dilemma Hi Cindy, I think this is a really great open space. I would love for it to all be one color and be light, bright, open and airy to reflect all the windows in the house. We all agree that statement walls need to be very intentional and think white walls with white trim in a different sheen will work wonders. I think this will be the biggest bang for your buck then you can bring in in textures and layered accessories within the same tonal family. Use art for pops of color. You can really change the meaning of this room by bringing the furniture in closer to the fireplace. Adding another chair and maybe a little card table would be good because this is a great room for people to gather. Add some more lamps with the plants on that table behind that long sofa, as well. I do like the bar area, but I almost want to see those top cabinets gone and do shelving above it instead. The important thing is to make this room more intimate. - Alyssa The first thing I think you need to do is check out Lauren Liess; a designer in Washington, DC that specializes in this style house and uses an earthy, 7os color palette in a really modern way. The second thing is I think you really need to invest in your art collection. You have a lot of blank walls and I wouldn’t buy (or even make) anything under 40”. It doesn’t need to be expensive! I know you have a lot of windows, but 2-3 pieces above the TV, flanking the windows, above the bar or above the dresser could be great places. Think outside the box! I also with giant ceilings like this you could get some great, large light fixtures. I personally don’t hate the wood trim; you could try the wood trim but you’d need a professional help you out. We’re not sure about painting the brick around fireplace; start with painting the room one color first. Good luck, Cindy! We really like this room and its architecture and can’t wait to see what you do with it. - Caroline

Full show notes at https://beckyjanderson.com You'll walk away from this podcast knowing: How Alyssa was able to take her love for craft and embroidery and make a business out of it. How she decided to do her first tradeshow and how it introduced her into the world of selling to boutiques and other stores. How she was able to fill her orders. How she markets her business now that she isn't doing trade shows anymore. How she decided to go all-in with one product. Why she decided to swing for the fence and try and get a big-box retailer.

Alyssa was a teacher who loved her job, but realized that she was spending all her time with other people's kids, while missing her own grow up. Alyssa got resourceful one night; she set up a website for her editing services, registered her business, and sent the link out to her family. Working from home was never the goal, but once Alyssa saw the power of setting her own hours and being available for her family, it became her primary focus. Alyssa and I talk about how university and one career was the only option for our age group, as well as where education and post-secondary degrees are headed in the future. We go deep into the effects that social media, comparison and technology have had not only on ourselves, but on the next generation. We are able to work flexibly because of technology, which is amazing, but we are both starting to be much more conscious of where else in our lives we let technology in, and where we choose to limit or eliminate it.
