February was a busy month. In addition to writing Home Staging Business Report and coaching my students, I’ve been working on a presentation I’ll be giving to homeowners next month. I also completed some home staging and interior redesign consultations and took my mother to Ste. Anne’s Spa for a weekend to celebrate her 80th birthday.

But the biggest project for the month was “blowing up” my 7 year old home staging website, SixElements.com and rebuilding it from the ground up. It launched March 1, just in time for the busy spring real estate market. I’ll discuss this project later this month since it may help some of you working on your own websites.

Thank you to the many students and graduates who wrote in after I sent out the new additions to courses 2 and 3 of the Staging Diva Training Program. I have been teaching home stagers for 5 years and many ideas continue to come from the questions you send in, or from my discussions with home stagers during the Staging Diva Dialog calls. I’m pleased to hear the new course material was helpful.

I’m serious about my mission of inspiring and empowering you to live your best life. As such, the overall theme of this month’s posts is recognizing the power you have to direct your career and then doing something about it.

Keep your marketing hat on and be ready for the spring real estate season. It’s on now and this is your opportunity to take advantage of it!
