Navigating Design, Mentorship, and Soft Skills: A Conversation with Liz Toombs




We've got a treat for you today. We recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Liz Toombs, a true trailblazer in the world of design. Liz's journey is a masterclass in turning your passion into a thriving business while making a positive impact on the lives of others.


As entrepreneurs, we're always on the lookout for untapped markets and unique niches. Liz's story is a perfect example of how thinking outside the box can lead to incredible opportunities. When she discovered the niche market for sorority house design, Liz knew she had struck gold. She poured her heart and soul into creating spaces that resonated with collegiate women, and her passion for this niche only grew stronger with each project.


But Liz's work goes beyond just designing beautiful spaces. She understands that true success comes from making a difference in the lives of others. Through her internship program, Liz provides aspiring designers with hands-on experience and valuable mentorship. She recognizes the importance of developing not just technical skills, but also the soft skills that are essential for building successful careers.


As entrepreneurs, we know that effective communication, active listening, and professional etiquette are key to building strong relationships and growing our businesses. Liz's emphasis on these soft skills is a powerful reminder that success is about more than just the bottom line.


What really sets Liz apart is her commitment to giving back to the community. She actively involves herself and her interns in charitable initiatives, demonstrating the importance of social responsibility as a business owner. This is a lesson that we can all take to heart as entrepreneurs – our success is not just about personal gain, but about making a positive impact on the world around us.


Liz's advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is spot-on. Take calculated risks, follow your passion, and never lose sight of the "why" behind your business. Network, build relationships, and never stop learning. These are the keys to success in any entrepreneurial journey.
