Home Staging Expert Provides Encouragement to Struggling Stagers

(UNITED STATES) July 19, 2011 – There are thousands of stories featuring people who faced rejection after rejection yet kept persevering until they made it.

As examples, James Dyson developed 5,126 prototypes over 5 years before he succeeded in inventing the first bagless vaccum cleaner. Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield endured 130 rejections before their first Chicken Soup For The Soul® book was published. Oprah Winfrey was even fired as a television reporter because she was “unfit for TV.”

Debra Gould, home staging expert and founder of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program, has a similar story to share.

“It wasn’t all that long ago when I started my home staging business and spent over a year struggling as a single mom while trying to figure out the right formula for making money as a home stager,” explains Gould. “Everyone told me there was no market for home staging because real estate was selling quickly, often with multiple offers. I persevered anyway, and into my second year I was making up to $10,000 a month just in staging fees. Fast forward to today, and I’ve shared my blueprint for building a successful home staging business with 4,000 students in more than 20 countries. Even 5 years ago, I would not have thought that was possible!”

Gould doesn’t have to look any further than her own students and graduates to find more home stager success stories. She recently posted a story in the Home Staging Business Report about a Staging Diva Graduate in Alaska who ended up having great things happen in her business just when she was about to give up.

In addition, Gould has assembled a collection of 10 inspiring stories about home stagers who have overcome the odds. Gould’s free report, “Ask Staging Diva: Can a Regular Person Like Me Become a Successful Home Stager?” can be downloaded from the Staging Diva website.
