Her ability to delegate has allowed her company to grow to $1.7 million in revenue and be super involved in giving back to the community. She has also started up two new businesses that allow her to be creative. She is constantly challenging herself and shares with us her belief in a positive attitude.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Andrea&#8217;s Kick-A$$ Quotes:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Happy employees make for happy clients<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Our for-profit work funds our non-profit work<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve learned how to be a CEO, because an Entrepreneur is something very different than a CEO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Katie&#8217;s Favorite Take-a-Ways<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>How To Build Clientele Right Away<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When she first broke away as a contractor, Andrea was smart and contacted those with whom she used to work to see if the new companies they were with needed her services. \u00a0One of those companies was MICROSOFT and she easily landed contracts there because she already had great relationships with the people! \u00a0This action quickly built up her clientele!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A Control Freak No More<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Andrea nearly died during a medical surgery which took her completely out of her business for 8 months. \u00a0After spending years working ridiculous hours because she had to have her hand in all areas of her business, she was forced to learn how to give up control. \u00a0She now has the attitude that every day is a good day and has learned to give her team the tools they need so she can let go and get out of her own way.<\/p>\n<h2>Andrea&#8217;s Favorite Business Books &amp; Resources<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0058DRUV6\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0058DRUV6&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=buswomroc-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Good To Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap&#8230;and Others Don&#8217;t<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<em>by Jim Collins<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001ANYDAO\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001ANYDAO&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=buswomroc-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Outliers: The Stories of Success<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<em>by Malcolm Gladwell<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0068U4IU4\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0068U4IU4&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=buswomroc-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unlocking Generational CODES: Understanding What Makes the Generations Tick and What Ticks Them Off<\/a>\u00a0<em>by Anna Liotta<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Want to know more about Andrea and Artitudes Design? \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/artitudesdesign.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out her website!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_6680\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-239-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3\">http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('http:\/\/bizwomenrock.com\/beta\/?powerpress_pinw=239-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p>http:\/\/www.podtrac.com\/pts\/redirect.mp3\/traffic.libsyn.com\/businesswomenrock\/Andrea_Heuston_-_Artitudes_Design.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | DownloadHow do you get out of your own way so your business can truly grow?
