Dianne Grossman The Carpet Girl
Inspired by her father , who worked three jobs while dreaming of being his own boss , Dianne Grossman knew from the time she was a little girl that she wanted to own her own business one day . That dream became reality in 2012 , when she founded The Carpet Girl , along with years of flooring experience from her husband and her love for interior design , she began a one-on-one flooring sales consultancy .
The idea for her business came to her when she read a surprising statistic in a magazine article — although 80 % of flooring decisions are made by the female consumer , more than 80 % of flooring is sold by men . With her experience in sales and passion for interior design and the carpeting industry , it was a gap she was highly qualified to fill .
Dianne ’ s vision for The Carpet Girl was to break from the traditional big-box store retail model by providing end-to-end services with a personal approach . She enjoys connecting with her customers — helping women find exactly what they want for their homes in a friendly , comfortable environment . But for her , the biggest reward of owning her own business has been showing her children that they can be anything they want .
Having come from a humble background , Dianne identifies with those who dream of a better life . Her advice to other women looking to start their own businesses would be : “ Give yourself a break — be comfortable with not always being perfect . Be clear about your goals . Be prepared to make sacrifices when balancing work life and home life . Go with your gut ; you know what to do — go do it !”
