Lisa Jones: Full Circle from Struggling Business Owner to Atlanta Chapter WCAA President
Today With Lisa Jones:
Welcome to Window Treatments for Profit. Today, I am excited to welcome Lisa Jones, owner of Lisa Jones Interiors and president of the Atlanta chapter of the WCAA.
Lisa started her business 25 years ago, but at her 17th she reached a breaking point—she decided either she was going to close up shop or make a big shift in her business. After joining the WCAA and listening to A Well Designed Business along with other industry podcasts, Lisa discovered how to transform her business and how to generate true profits. Today, she’s sharing how she got there and why the support along the way made all the difference in the world.
More About Lisa Jones
Lisa Jones is the owner of Lisa Jones Interiors, Inc., a custom soft furnishings workroom serving both retail clients as well as interior designers. She’s also a certified Window Treatment Specialist. Lisa started this business 25 years ago back in 1999 when she decided to leave her job as a legal assistant to be a stay-at-home mom for her girls. Lisa operates her business out of a studio on their small farm just south of Dalton, GA, serving clients mainly in the North Atlanta, Northwest Georgia and southeastern Tennessee area.
Lisa was one of the 2022 recipients of the Jill Robson Memorial Scholarship for a workroom.
She is also the recipient of multiple Vision Awards for both window treatment design and fabrication as well as slipcovers. In 2023, she had the honor of being the first person ever awarded the Workroom Professional certification from Workroom Tech. Lisa is a member of Exciting Windows, and this is Lisa’s 3rd year as the current president of the Atlanta Chapter of WCAA.
