We asked some brilliant entrepreneurs, artists and creatives to reflect on lessons they’ve learned at prior jobs. We’ve shared highlights below.
From the moment we conceptualized Casa Sisu as an interior design firm, we knew that we needed to establish a formal set of processes and standards. Even though it was – and still is – just the two of us, we knew that if we didn’t dedicate the time to that task upfront, it would be exponentially harder to catch up as the company scales.

One of the most important lessons learned from any prior experience in a job was that, no matter how hard you worked, that work was for somebody else. I knew for years that owning my own business was the only way to truly be happy and do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it and at the end of the day, all of my hard work was for my business.
