As a New Home Stager it can be overwhelming to decide what to focus on in order to grow your business. And it is easy to get caught up doing things that can wait and not doing enough to get business in the door.

Let’s face it….we all want to do what feels comfortable and often shy away from doing things that put us outside of our comfort zone.

The truth is, without getting business in the door you won’t have a business and I want to see you succeed!

In this episode I talk about ten mistakes I see new Home Stagers make when growing their business (and what to do instead).

Listen to the podcast below or subscribe on Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms.

In this episode you will learn:

When you should (or shouldn’t) invest in inventory

Why getting certified is not enough to gain traction when building your business

Why it is important to try different business models when starting your business

The strategy and mindset issues that make it challenging for some Stagers to reach out to Real Estate Agents

The fastest way to get money in the door

What Stagers do instead of “needle moving” activities that delay their business growth

What to do if you don’t have a lot of pictures of your work when building your website

What to do if you are not great at copywriting when building your web site

What systems to focus on when starting your business

Three compelling questions to ask yourself and journal on in order to grow
