Most of you don't know this fact, but a full decade before I started on this journey with Color Joy Interiors, I had a dream of starting an interior decorating business. Back in 2003, just as Joanna Gaines was starting her design career and life with Chip, I was unsatisfied in my marketing agency job, and ready for a change. While I was networking and looking for a new job, I had the thought to start an interiors business. I even came up with a name: Circle City Interiors -- and had a friend create a business logo. For some reason, I decided not to pursue it, and started a marketing consulting business instead. Perhaps I was worried that my lack of formal training and education in the field would limit my opportunity. Boy, did I miss out on a growing trend! While hindsight is always 20/20, I don't regret going out on my own and starting my own business. But it goes to show that your passions will follow you wherever you go, and hopefully lead you to your ultimate success. I'm excited to follow this new path, and thank those who have supported me along the way. If you know of anyone who could use decorating or home staging services, or would be a good partner for me, please send them my way. Love and peace - Susan Young
