Keep going, one step forward at a time and you’ll get there! We’re heading into a new decade, what a perfect time for a new mindset that will take you where you want to go!

It’s so important for aspiring home stagers to research any training organization before sending them money. Just because a company spends a lot on TV advertising, doesn’t mean their program will necessarily meet your needs.

That said, I’m glad you’ve found Staging Diva and that you’ve found my blog posts and newsletters helpful.

I like to share free information to help raise awareness of best practices in this unregulated home staging industry. It’s also so that people can get a sense of who I am and what they can learn from me. My hope is that people trying to decide what program to take will ask themselves, “if she shares this much good stuff for free, is it reasonable to assume I’ll learn even more once I’m a paying student?”

Since you’re already in your staging business and getting some projects, I strongly suggest you take my course 2 “The Business of Home Staging” as soon as possible. It will explain how you should properly price for your services. When you apply what you’ll learn in that single course to your next project, you’ll earn more than enough to pay for the rest of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program, not to mention the profits you’ll make for the rest of your career as a home stager!

We were literally knocked off our feet; thank God for the unemployment checks we were able to recieve, but that income was only 1/4 of our normal monthly incomes. We didn’t have insurance, we had too many bills and were worried we would loose our home.

My husband has been working now for almost 6 months after 1 year of unemployment, it has been so hard to actually understand the statement that there are 6 people for everyone 1 job available in our area!!

But I love homes (I go to open houses just for fun!) and decorating, and wanted to help people. I realized that if I could help a couple of friends also unemployed by providing a little bit of work (cleaning and painting) and help a realtor and homeowner make a sale, and stay out from behind a desk, which I’ve sat at for almost 20 years, I’d have found the perfect job for me~!

I decided to “just do it” and look what little bit of savings we had remaining and took a course in Staging, with Haverhill, unfortunatly I hadn’t found your company first, which I’m very upset about because I have nothing good to tell you about your competitor. I’ve learned more from the free articals and blogs you offer than from anything I’ve “bought” from them! And I will eventually be able to afford to take your course and will.

I’m starting my 3rd whole house staging project, we’ve been blessed with one job right after another and I’m growing this business and loving every second of it!

So, to those of you on the fence … I’d say take the plunge, you won’t be sorry. Just keep your mind open to learning and you will continue to grow!

When you said “My biggest “what if” fear is that I’ll get to the end of my life and realize I wasted it not being happy or not doing what I was meant to do.” I cried. That is me to a tee.

I believe finding your site and reading your blog was God’s answer to my prayers.

I am ordering your ebook “Ultimate Design Guide” and “Ultimate Color Guide” right now to get me going and I am expecting some money real soon so I can order your complete course. I have listened to your free webinar and already picked my name and registered it.

Thank you for sharing your expertise — you could have just kept it all to yourself and excelled as the “Staging Diva” expert without creating competition.

People who are stuck playing small in their own lives don’t like to see others playing big, because it makes them question why they aren’t doing more themselves. So rather than cheer you on, they’ll try and hold you back.

Really will a true friend say, “you’ll regret that!” or should they be saying “you go girl!”

Women especially might notice this around weight issues. If you successfully lose weight your fatter friends (or your mother) will put temptation in front of you at every opportunity. Or they’ll suggest other things you can do with them instead when you’re about to go to the gym.
