Here we are heading into the next big chocolate holiday, and I’ve just managed to work off the Christmas shortbread cookies. I’m still getting to the gym three times a week, but it’s mighty tough to fit it. As much as I’m tempted to skip it, I know that exercise helps keep my stress level in check. I also come up with new business ideas when I’m not actively focused on work.

I continue to look for ways to enhance the Staging Diva Training Program which I’ve been teaching for 5 years now. Many ideas come from the questions you send in, or from my discussions with home stagers during our Business Accelerator Coaching sessions and in the Staging Diva Dialog calls.

New to course 2 is a list of stores where you can get designer discounts. I’ve included the amount of discounts and how you go about getting them.

New to course 3 is a section with invoice templates for three unique scenarios. I have always explained invoicing in the course along with how to make sure you get paid, but I’ve decided that actual sample invoices will help you see how I fill them out in different situations. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

This new information is already incorporated into the home staging courses but for current Staging Diva Graduates, or anyone who has purchased course 2 or course 3 previously, watch your email as I’ll be sending this new information out to you this week.

Also, if you subscribe to my newsletter (sign up by filling out the form to your left) watch for a no calorie Valentine’s surprise coming in your email from me closer to the 14th— no gym time required!
