We had the good fortune of connecting with Mindee Meyer and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Mindee, what do you attribute your success to?
I believe the most important factor behind the success of Sur La Mur is that we can create any vision our client would like to bring to life.
If the client is looking for a specific style/design that they cannot find we’re able to create that design for them.
We don’t believe in saying no- we believe in getting it done!
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Growing up, I always had a passion for design. Life led me in a different direction and I became a computer programmer. However, my artistic side did not feel fulfilled and I started researching what I can contribute to the design world. After speaking to a few interior designers I came up with the concept of starting a custom wallpaper company and everyone loved the idea. So I started my company- Sur La Mur. One of the struggles I’ve faced has been growing my team with the right team members who embody the image and reputation I want for my company. I came up with a list of qualities that are important to me and am grateful for the employees I’ve found that have those qualities.
An important lesson I’ve learned is setting goals helps achieve success- this helps keep a clear understanding of what I am trying to accomplish and motivates me to reach those goals. I have an incentive program set up for my team to help reach monthly and quarterly goals.
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Living in South Florida, I love spending weekends at the beach or lake. I would take my friend jet skiing at the lake, chill at the beach, visit Los Olas or Atlantic ave in delray for some art inspiration and good drinks. Being a Jewish woman, I only eat out at Kosher restaurants but South Florida has some great options of those- some of my favorites being Asiatiko, Soho and Cafe Noir. For some good deals on shopping we would be sure to visit Sawgrass outlets.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I attribute my company’s growth to my husband- as with any new business the beginnings can be rocky and there were many times I was ready to give it up but he believed in me and encouraged me to keep going. His constant support has helped me get to where I am today.
