Join the many students who have transformed their passion into a highly successful career with Naomi Findlay and The International Institute of Home Staging’s™ third and final course “Starting My Own Home Staging Business”
Past Students of Starting My Own Home Staging Business Have Found the Course Life Changing… And You Will Too!
Is this you?
- You have successfully completed the two previous courses offered by The International Institute of Home Staging™ and loved them both: The Art of Home Staging and Advanced Home Staging & Business Development
- You run a small property styling business that you are eager to expand
- You LOVE seeing the transformation that staging a property can have, and you love seeing your clients happy
- You want to discover the key to transforming your career into a 6 figure income
- You understand that not everyone will love properties you stage, but you know that home staging is about creating properties that sell
- You have successfully staged many of your family and friends’ properties, showing that you can develop a career in property styling
Having a passion and ability to stage and style multiple amazing properties is great, but without the knowledge, theory and experience of how to run a property styling business, taking your career to the next level and developing your business might always seem too hard.
The most successful property stylists and stagers make ongoing training and development a key priority throughout their career.
You can have read every book, magazine, blog out there, and listened to every podcast, tutorial and video available about running a business but that doesn’t mean that any of those texts will have anything to do with a property styling business.
In fact, I promise you that none of the business books you find will have anything to do with running a property styling business.
Sure, they may be great for general business advice, and I can recommend some great texts for general business advice BUT chances are you can find all that information online for little to no cost.
So, let’s say you are thinking about starting your own home staging business…
…and you go to a bunch of professional advisors to find out what the first steps and best moves are to get your business off the ground…
…but all the professionals you seek out have no idea what property styling is.
What then?
You can have the skills you need to build your business, the relationships with real estate agents necessary to have a flow of jobs and are thinking of investing in inventory to expand your business BUT you still might not have the correct advice and guidance necessary to develop your business.
Why Do a Lot of People Fail When Starting a Home Staging Business?
Here are a few reasons that people fail even though they are committed to their work, dedicated to building their business and get amazing feedback for the work they have done:
- They don’t know who to seek advice from
- They seek advice from people who have no idea what property styling is
- They lack the knowledge of how to run a business
- They have not staged a large number of properties and are yet to find what they are truly amazing at
- They don’t have strong relationships with tradesmen, removalists or real estate agents to start up their business
- They lack a strong support system that have their back when the business is flourishing or quiet
- They lack the financial knowledge to make the business profitable AND pay themselves a substantial wage
So, how do you get around these problems so that all of your time, effort and money gives you the best chance of your business being successful and of the best FINANCIAL return?
Is there a system or “hack” that will give your efforts the return you deserve?
There is, and that’s exactly what this page is all about…
If You Don’t Have a Plan to Execute the Plan Then You Are Wasting Your Time and Money
Have you ever looked at a really old non-fiction book?
An outdated textbook, your parents’ old diary or an old atlas?
Have you ever noticed when you read these books how foreign and bizarre some of the things seem?
How could anyone have ever thought the world is flat?
Lucky for you, property styling is a relatively new concept, especially in Australia. This means that there are no books from the 1800s on home staging to compare the texts now too.
However, unlucky for you, there are a tonne of people who think they know what property styling is and how to start a property styling business that don’t!
The Australian real estate market is so different to any other real estate market anywhere else in the world…
…that means that running a home staging business in Australia is extremely different to home staging anywhere else in the world.
So, don’t get caught up in education programs about running and building a home staging business UNLESS it is from an Australian source. Otherwise the information could well be irrelevant.
At the International Institute of Home Staging™, I’ve already done all the hard work, made all the mistakes and figured out what works (and what doesn’t). And believe me, I’ve made a lot of mistakes along the way…
That’s why I’ve been so careful to document WHAT WORKS into simple, easy-to-follow learning modules so everyone can get results across all types of homes and personal situations.
Before Starting My Own Home Staging Business was created, the knowledge inside of it was mine alone to use with my close friends who also had a passion for home staging, but now I’ve made my system available to the public.
So you don’t have to go it alone!
You can literally invest your $1997 into you and your business.
And then...
- Start building your new business as an educated and confident home stager and stylist
- Transform your life by following your passion
- Transform your clients lives by helping them in one of the most stressful times of their lives
- Make money for yourself and your clients by staging properties for sale, rent or valuation using my experience and guidance to make sure its done the right way
- Save time (and money) by executing on a proven formula that works
- Avoid potentially-embarrassing and costly “rookie” mistakes
- Have a formula that will work for you every time you stage a property for sale, rent or valuation, and …
The choice is yours.
