To Set the Stage
"There are people who put their dreams in a little box and say, 'Yes, I've got dreams, of course I've got dreams.' Then they put the box away and bring it out once in awhile to look in it, and yep, they're still there." - Erma Bombeck
Backstage with Debra
I've been enjoying time with my teen who will be away in school or work terms for the next 4 summers. We had a wonderful trip to Washington DC and two days at Lake Muskoka to beat the summer city heat.
In between, I've been coaching home stagers and doing various color consulting and redesign projects before the fall home staging projects kick into gear in the next month.
Even though I started my home staging and redesign company 11 years ago this September, it still never ceases to amaze me how many people live in a home for years with everything exactly where the movers placed it when they first arrived.
Don't ever take your natural talent for granted. Most people can't see what you can when you walk into a room. Even if you sometimes feel insecure (who doesn't?!), please realize that you know more than your potential clients do. They'll be grateful for your staging, color and redesign advice.
In this month's newsletter you'll meet 3 home stagers, see a fabulous transformation of a foyer, get inspired to dig out from under the stuff that doesn't matter so you can live your best life, and discover how you can create your home staging portfolio in a weekend. I'm also inviting you to two live events I'm hosting in August.
The next real estate season starts in a matter of weeks so this is the time to get your home staging business, website and marketing organized to take full advantage of it.
Here's to your continued success,
Debra Gould, The Staging Diva®
President, Voice of Possibility™ Group Inc.
