“Giving up fear is like giving up sugar: they’re both sneaky ingredients that hide out in almost everything.” – Gabrielle Bernstein

I love that quote because I’ve made it my mission to eradicate both sugar and fear from my life. It’s a constant challenge of course.

I gave up sugar in October and, other than Christmas, I’ve pretty much stuck to it. Fear comes and goes depending on how far out of my comfort zone I’m pushing myself personally or professionally.

For my birthday I went 3,000 ft up in an hot air balloon to get over my fear of heights. This month I started Improv classes to overcome my fear of looking dumb.

What’s interesting is how getting over your fears in one area of your life sets you up to overcome challenges in others. I’m always amazed at how much overlap there is when I coach home stagers.

In this month’s articles focus on different aspects of home staging marketing because it’s so critical to your home staging success.

You’ll learn how to help potential clients know like and trust you and how procrastination is really just a fear avoidance strategy.

You’ll discover the business-killing home staging portfolio traps to avoid, meet 10 Staging Diva students and Graduates who are home staging award Finalists, and more.

As always, my mission is to help you create your ideal business and lifestyle while having fun along the way.

I wish you every success in 2013 and encourage you to write me about any topics you’d like me to cover in Staging Diva Dispatch or the Home Staging Business Report in the coming months.
