To Set the Stage
"It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." - E.E. Cummings
Backstage with Debra
As this year comes to a close I'm realizing this marks the Staging Diva Training Program moving into the 10th year of offering solid business training for home stagers.
I'm very proud to celebrate this anniversary with over 8,000 students in 22 countries. If you're one of the more than 450 people who joined our community this month, welcome and keep your eye on your email for a special invitation to an event next week.
I was the first home stager to realize that spending days taking turns rearranging furniture was not the best way to teach people how to make money from their talents.
From what students tell me, this program remains unmatched anywhere else for its ability to teach you exactly what you need to know to succeed in your home staging business.
When you Google "Staging Diva" you'll discover that I've written more articles about home staging than anyone else.
That's because I've been focused on raising awareness of this field with the general public, as well as home stagers themselves, for more than a decade. I also created the only home staging job board in the world which lists over 400 projects.
In this month's newsletter you'll learn 5 reasons why staging beats interior design, see a highly succesful home staging project, discover why I compared real estate agents to wicked witches, find 2 dates you should set aside in December so that you'll be ready for 2014 and meet 5 home stagers.
As always, my mission is to help you create your ideal business and lifestyle. Since studies show 80% of "New Year's Resolutions" are abandoned within weeks, I'm setting a challenge for you as this year winds to a close.
Sit down to think and journal about how you'd like your business and life to look a year from now. Realize that you'll never get there unless you change what you're doing on a consistent basis.
Don't wait for everything to be "perfect" or for a lottery win to drop in your lap. Instead, resolve to get the information and support you need to create the life you want. That's what I'm here for and together we can make your dream of success doing work you love come true.
Happy Holidays!
