Congratulations to Staging Diva Graduate Cheryl Ward of Ivy Home Staging (ON) on her first full-blown home staging project. She writes, “I couldn’t be more excited, ecstatic, enthused and motivated. A stranger saw my advertising, contacted me, hired me and paid me for a home staging consultation and arranged for final home staging once renovations are complete. Just to add, the house is HUGE. Life is good!”

Cheryl says while she enjoys her day job as a technologist in a community college, “nothing compares to being the boss of my own company, doing something so gratifying and helping people.”

Like many Staging Diva students, Cheryl had been buying, renovating and selling properties for many years, never realizing home staging was a career option. She says her “heart skipped a beat” when she discovered she could actually do this for a living.

“Since grabbing that life line of the Staging Diva Training Program I have had such an overwhelming sense of enthusiasm for my future,” says Cheryl. “I have been methodically going through the steps of getting my business started as covered in the training program. You were right, Debra, if I didn’t give up, the business would happen and now it has started. Oh, what a feeling! My sincerest thank-you for tossing out the life line.”

Bravo Cheryl and thank you for that amazing feedback, you inspire me to keep doing what I do!
