Today we’d like to introduce you to Cody Rackley.
Hi Cody, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started my independent practice in 2017 in Austin, Texas after I graduated college, from the University of the Incarnated Word in San Antonio, Texas. The three years I would work on personal project and also work as an independent contractor with a number of remodelers and contractor in the greater Austin area. In the fall of 2020, I decided to move back home to East Texas with my fiancé and two dogs, where I would establish roots for Haus of Sabo. The past 6 years have been a trip but Dallas has treated our business great.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I would say the ride was bumpy but has smoothen out. In the 6 years, I had to set Haus of Sabo aside a number of times to take on different employment to stay afloat. From working for retailers selling high-end furniture to even taking on a second at department stores to just make a living will Haus of Sabo got off the ground.
My first big job was in 2018 when I got a lead for a full whole remodel. This would set off my career and business, are so I thought. Because of beginner mistakes, I hired the wrong people to do a specialty job. This would set be back and force me to take on side work and partner with a remodeler to develop their design department. I would do this for a year before take a job in Dallas was a large remodeling. I would be able to have a set income but be able to start gather clients in the meantime. After 10 months I would able to set away from my anchor job and focus on my true passion being a business owner and giving people their dream homes.
Now, I am running my own design firm with 2 employees and a number of great projects and clients.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
