Are you feeling restless?

Friday, August 20th, 2010

We have all heard the expression that there is a “full moon tonight” and when that happens, we often feel restless. Why do you think that is? Well, it could be because of the gravitational pull of the moon and the earth, it might be that we have seen too many werewolf movies or that it is the Universe’s way of telling us change is near. I am inclined to believe the latter.

Every year or so, I get very restless and I know that means I am in for a growth spurt. We see this with children, when they start to get a little stocky, all the sudden they shoot up and become a bean pole again! Most parents realize that the child is just about ready for a growth spurt but once you are an adult, it is not as easy to recognize.

Usually, we ignore it until it goes away. Or, we chalk it up to being over tired or over worked. What if you just pause for a moment and gave your restlessness a little attention. As a Home Stager or anyone that works in the Real Estate and Home Staging Industries, you know things are changing quickly…for the better. While the economy is still very rough, every single day new houses get listed and people need to sell.

There has never been a better time in history to change your life and others, for the better. What do I mean by all of this? Well, If you paid attention to your restlessness you would realize that it is dormant opportunity asking you to take advantage of it. Will you have to work at it? Yes. Might you have to step out of your comfort zone? Yes. Will you reap abundant rewards? Of course.

Your Home Stager Weekly Mission – should you choose to accept it…

Saturday, July 24th, 2010

How are your missions coming? Do you know that if you decide to move your business forward everyday and take one small action, that in one year, you will have taken 365 actions toward the growth of your business? Powerful right? That is why I give you these missions. Take action on each one and you are already 52 steps ahead of the game.

This week, I want you to sit down and decide on a very clear vision that you have for your Home Staging, Design and Real Estate Business. Don’t just think about it, write it down and come up with a plan of action that you can implement daily, weekly and monthly. Use the simple 1-2-3 plan that I outlined for you above in order to do this.

Once you have your very clear vision, decide on a marketing cycle. How often will you market, what will you say, and to whom will you say it? Put the plan in place and implement the plan.

Finally, decide how and when you will work with 100% concentration on your business and decide today that no one else can disturb you. The first think I want you to do during your uninterrupted business hours is to define how long each task takes you from beginning to end so that you can become a more effective planner and Home Stager. How long does it take you to do your monthly marketing, a home staging, make calls, etc.? Plan it out, from A to Z and now you will know really what you can accomplish each day that lead you toward your great path of success.

You will be surprised at how quickly can get there!

Ready to run a “Successful Home Staging Business” and attract all the clients and Home Staging Bookings that you need without working yourself to death? How many of you are Certified Home Stagers, but can’t seem to figure out how to get work, or at least not enough to make it worth your time ? Don’t worry, that is because no one has ever taught you the “money making” side of Home Staging. Well, no more! At APSD™ I recently created a special 4 part course filled with the exact same marketing and business building strategies that I use in my own Home Staging Business that has allowed me to create a 6 figure Home Staging Business income year after year. As we build a bigger, greater and extremely talented APSD™ Home Staging Community, I wanted to share those secrets with all of our Certified Home Staging Professionals, Designers and Real Estate Agents so that you know how to consistently grow your own business. Take a look at this easy to follow program that will literally teach you how to have more clients and bookings than you can handle!

Well, guess what!  I am going to be giving one away.

NO CHARGE! beginning on this Friday and continuing for the next 2 Fridays after that!  This is a $297 value and I am just giving it away!

Here’s what to do next:

Step 1: Take a hard look at the Curb Appeal Picture above

Step 2: In the the comments section below, describe how you make this “Scene” – one step better.

Before you start thinking that “Karen must have lost her home staging marbles,” let me explain…

I want you to make more money with your Home Staging, Design and Real Estate Businesses.  The only way you can do that is by offering additional services and charging more for your existing services.  By adding the new “Curb Appeal Make-Over” to your line-up, you can do both!

You can offer a new service AND charge more for existing services by adding curb appeal to it!  Don’t you love that?

So, if you are ready to try to win your very own APSD™ “Curb Appeal Training System;”  The world’s leader in Home Staging Training and Certification, then all you have to do is to take a look at the following  photo above….….and tell me (in the comments area)  how you would make it better or take it one step further.

In Friday’s weekly APSD™ publication, I will reveal to you how I completed the scene and announce our winner! So, start to flex that creativity muscle, take a look at the photo above and tell us how you would make it better!
