Stagers, have you lost your New Year’s momentum?

Did you declare January 1  the day you would start making some changes in the way you’re marketing your home staging business? Was it the day you decided you’d start doing some new things to help you grow?

Now that it’s February, are you still as motivated and inspired as you were this time last month?

Or are you left feeling disappointed in yourself for not doing anything yet this year to help grow your business?

It’s difficult being your own boss because there’s nobody to hold you accountable. It’s easy to set goals and make plans, but if you don’t action them what’s the point? If there’s nobody looking over your shoulder to check on what you’re doing, nobody will even know you still have unattained goals from January.

You can still start working towards those goals now even though it’s February. Just because the page on the calendar changed doesn’t mean it’s all over!

If you’re having trouble staying motivated, did you realize you can hire me as your business coach? You can purchase an hour of my time, and split it up into 15 minute intervals so you have a weekly coaching call with me if you like.

In one 15 minute call I can save you weeks of struggle because you have my focused attention and I’m answering your specific questions or giving you advice aimed directly at you and your business. If you learn a lot from my newsletters and blog posts, imagine what you can figure out about growing your business if I’m speaking directly to you.

One of my coaching students scheduled a 15 minute call with me every two weeks to use the full hour of time she purchased, and it’s so rewarding to see what she’s done to build her business because of these sessions. She crosses off a huge portion of her task list because she feels the pressure of our next call as her deadline. Knowing she’ll have another call with me and wanting to be able to report on her progress and accomplishments, she keeps moving forward and stays focused on high payoff activities.

She most likely would have spent months procrastinating and thinking about doing those things, but because she had me to be accountable to, she has them done and she’s making big progress in her business. The financial investment she made in her one hour of business accelerator coaching with me was more than worth it because of the business results she can achieve.

If you want to get back on track, or if there’s an area of your business you’re struggling with, click this link to buy an hour of my time. When you purchase a session, you’ll get an email that sends you to my online schedule where you can book a series of 15, 20 or 30 minute appointments. Spread the full hour out over as many weeks or months as you would like.

Home stagers, have you found a coach or mentor to be beneficial to staying on track? Please share how you keep up your momentum by leaving a comment below.

I did sign up for 1 hour of your time when I bought the staging diva courseware… How do I set up time to speak with you?

Beth,
Sandy can help you with setting up your Accelerator Business Coaching (assuming your purchased it), just email your questions to her at info@stagingdiva.com.
If you purchased the coaching time, you would have received an email after your purchase with instructions on how and where to book your time with me. My coaching schedule is online so that you can book a time that fits your schedule.
