40: The System for Building a Business That’s Bigger Than You with Emily Hewett
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever thought that scaling your business meant you had to leave behind the work that fuels you?
In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Hewett, founder and CEO of A Well‑Dressed Home, a Dallas‑based interior design firm that has grown from a one‑woman practice to a thriving team of 20. We dive into how Emily transitioned from designer to leader, the systems that supported intentional growth, and why stepping into a business that’s bigger than you means letting go without losing touch with the heart of what you do.
This episode is brought to you by The Entrepreneur's Death Folder:
