    After over $7m in sales, I've only just got clarity on where I'm heading… I've been spending some time pondering where my personal brand sits. I've built @the.propertystagers to a 7-figure business (and achieved that relatively quickly in under 2 years) I've launched @stagerboss to teach women exactly how I have done that Recently I've been unsure what my next move is regarding my personal brand (after dedicating it to these two brands over 7 years) Don't get me wrong, my personal brand has been vital in building both of those companies, and I wouldn't be where I am with both today had I not leveraged my name and put my face to them And no, this isn't a post to say I've stepped down or sold either company. I very much still have MASSIVE visions for both and I own 100% of both But given I've built these two companies as brands in their own right with me as the leader, why would someone follow me, Liv? I could share just my personal life here but I feel there are TOO many lessons and insights from entrepreneurship + business that would provide massive value Yes, StagerBoss does share these lessons but not everyone here wants to be a Home Stager and my skills and experience lie beyond just home staging And then one day, on my dog walk it all made sense

What makes her unique, aside from her stellar reputation in her field, is that Carly triumphed through a condition that resulted in her being unemployed and on benefits to now building a 6 figure Property Sourcing Business and helping others to do the same. Determined and tenacious to her core, she decided enough was enough she joined a gym and found a job in a local cafe. As luck would have it, she stumbled across a Facebook ad that was marketing a free property training seminar, Carly attended and knew immediately that property was the vehicle that could give her back a life of freedom, doing something she loved & getting paid for it. Having no funds to invest in property, Carly creatively bought her first property, an empty, dated, run-down 3-bedroom house that soon became the perfect family home for someone. She bought it without using a penny of her own money. Instead, she enrolled an investor who was fed up with the poor returns from the bank & successfully delivered her great returns! It comes as little surprise that she began sourcing for other people when they noticed how active she was and asked for her expertise to help them build their portfolio. She hasn't looked back since. Having transformed her life in the space of a few years, she continues to inspire those who have full time careers or shattered dreams to start their own property sourcing businesses & blaze their own trail with her “The Property Sourcer Method.” Beyond continued business growth, Carly's goal is simple – to raise awareness that even if you face great adversity & your dreams seem impossible to achieve, anything is possible with hard work and determination.
