Answer : Becoming a home decorator is not as easy as, say, becoming a surgeon. The first step in the process of starting your own business is deciding what kinds of design services you will offer and how much time you can spend on each job. If you are new to the area, it would be wise to take some classes at a community college or nearby university. Most importantly, don't forget to register yourself with your local Chamber of Commerce so you can legally do business! Good luck in your career path!
