When I meet people and tell them I am a home stager, one of the first questions I get is, do you have your own staging furniture?

On March 15, 2022 I lost my husband to cancer and, in all honesty, I am heartbroken. I never realized how tough it would be and how profoundly everything would change.  And in spite of this, I have a fierce resolve to choose life.....to find hope......to experience new things, to live in the moment and plan for the future. We will all experience grief at some point in our life. It is part of the human experience. And although we can't deny the feelings that come up, we can choose how we move forward. I hope that this episode inspires those of you who are struggling with loss, while creating a life and business that is meaningful to you!

In this episode of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire, I interview one of my coaching clients.  When Melpo and I started working together a year ago, she had only been in business for a few months. She wanted clarity around what to focus on , what types of jobs she should be going after and how to get those jobs. As we worked together a lot has changed. She has added design services to her menu, become way more confident about reaching out to Real Estate Agents, created a lead magnet, updated her website with new offerings and worked on her inner game (to much success). Learn about Melpo's journey here.

In this episode I discuss why Real Estate Agents need to work with Home Stagers in order to stay competitive and get those listings. This is true now more than ever.  When stagers understand this on a deep level, they become more confident and can articulate their value more clearly.

In this episode I answer 3 questions that I often get from Home Stagers about getting business from Real Estate Agents.

Patrica is an entrepreneur and the founder and creator of The Homeowner Link Inc.  Previously a home stager herself, Patricia's passion and desire to stay at home with her kids transitioned into the idea and then the development of the app, which connects Realtors and Home Stagers.

In this episode I talk with Amie Stepkoski of A Step Above Design in Florida. Amy is a member of my  Home Stagers on Fire Coaching Group and I have watched her grow from a struggling beginner stager to a stager who is growing her business by fine tuning her messaging and getting more and more repeat business from Real Estate Agents.

Today I have a very special guest, and one that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. My guest is Jen Bishop, the founder, publisher and owner of Interiors Addict. Many of you in the home staging industry will know who Jen is, especially those in Australia, and I actually first heard Jen speak in 2019 at a conference held by the International Association of Home Stagers in Sydney. And I’ve been hoping to interview her for the podcast since then. Interiors Addict started as a hobby back in 2011, and has now been Jen’s full-time job for over eight years. The way she describes it now is that it’s less of a blog and more of an interiors news site with a personal touch. It down has around 100k unique visitors per month, over 70k Facebook and 100k Instagram followers. But it wasn’t always that way, and it wasn’t a simple transition from a passion project into a full time business. In this chat Jen talks about that process and how Interiors Addict has changed and grown over time. We also talk about Imposter Syndrome, and how Jen initially struggled when people started looking at her as someone with authority and expertise in a space where she didn’t have any training or experience. This is something she now wears as a badge of honour, but it wasn’t always so easy. And finally I also get some advice on blogging for those of us with home staging businesses who want to drive more traffic to our websites.

Are you familiar with the concept of time blocking? Will it make you more productive and efficient with your time? Or are you set in your ways and happy with your current routine? Wendy Woloschuk knows that blocking her time makes her more efficient. In this episode, she shares her tips and tricks for optimal time-blocking success. After all, time is money—how much are you wasting? Wendy Woloshchuk is the owner of Details Interiors. In addition to running a busy design firm, Wendy is a frequent speaker on Market panels and tele-summits and is now teaching other designers through online courses. She is one-third of the Design for Today Collaborative, a group committed to educating Interior Designers and Home Stagers. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [3:04] Mini News Sesh: The Instagram Algorithm [9:45] Who is Wendy Woloschuk? [11:54] What is time blocking? [16:43] How to handle time-sensitive communication [19:55] How to track your time-blocks [22:00] Self-discipline will lead to habit [24:00] How Wendy handles sourcing for clients [27:42] Should you schedule a break each hour?

Connect with Wendy Woloshchuk Details Interiors Connect on LinkedIn Follow on Instagram Resources & People Mentioned Unleash the Power Within Design for Today Collaborative Wingnut Social Episode 36 Book: Unleash the Power Within mydoma Wendy Woloschuk’s version of time blocking Time blocking is a way of intentionally planning out every minute of your day. It forces you to manage your time efficiently and helps you focus on what you’re doing. If you are multi-tasking, you are focusing on a million different things and not doing any of them at 100%, right? The premise of time blocking is that when you give one task 100% of your attention, you’re more effective.  At Wendy’s firm, they break down each specific day into a time-block. She starts every day with a cup of coffee, time on Facebook and Instagram, exercising, showering, and getting to the office. On Mondays, her assistant blocks time for social media, their blog, and the newsletter. She has another block for emails. They block in lunch and move on to client work. They check email and social media one more time at the end of the day. How do you know where to start? Wendy shares these simple steps: Start with a list of your regular weekly tasks Plug in the most important tasks first Fill other tasks in around those What’s the key to optimal success? Listen to find out! How Wendy handles sourcing for clients If you’re taking 3 hours to find something that should take you half an hour, then you’re losing money. So Wendy gives herself a set amount of time—half an hour—to find a certain product. Why? If you can’t find it in half an hour, your brain needs to move on and you come back to it.  Sourcing takes time and practice. It requires knowing your vendors. Giving yourself half an hour helps you get it done more quickly. Once you’ve found something that will work perfectly, don’t keep looking. You can always go back and adjust if necessary.  She always works on one client at a time. While she’s sourcing for one person—if she sees something that’s a good fit for someone else—she makes a note and moves on.  Self-discipline becomes habit When you have a schedule set and you’ve ben time blocking for a couple of weeks, Wendy notes that it will become a habit. It’s saved her many hours a day. When you get lost in a rabbit-hole, it’s hard to get refocused. But time blocking gives you something to reference to help you get back on track. She notes that it does get easier—and is 100% worth the effort. Hear the rest of her time blocking tips by listening to the whole episode!

On today's show, I answered listeners' questions on social media marketing for their home staging businesses. Here are the questions: I really just don't know how to market to the realtor. I think I am a little intimidated by them. I always think they are too busy to entertain what I have to offer.  I am just starting a home staging business. I'm a graphic designer and this will be another revenue stream for me in the "visual arts" arena. I love interior design, have done only 1 job so far with a realtor (for free - for experience!) and have staged a couple friends and families homes for sale. I'm wanting to know how to properly network starting out - how do you get your first "real" paying job when you are just building business/inventory. How do you get the realtors to give you a chance when first starting... I'm stuck when it comes to making presentations at real estate offices and getting myself in front of agents. I've done almost no marketing so far and have been lucky to get referrals... but when the slow times come I know I need to be putting more time into marketing. Then I get overwhelmed where to start (this is least favorite part of the business for me, so it is the easiest to put as last on my "to do" list). What are 3 most effective ways to reach realtors?

On today's show, we talk about social media marketing for home stagers: What skills should I look for in a marketing professional? What is an average budget should I consider for marketing my home staging business? Where to invest marketing money, social media (what to post, when to post, hashtags to use), getting new realtors on board/getting new staging clients to see the value in the investment.

In this episode Tony McDonnell  and I will talk about how Home Stagers might approach Real Estate Agents, which agents to target, how to stand apart, the #1 misconception agents have about staging, what to do if agents don't get back to you and so much more!

Pricing strategies can be challenging for both new and seasoned stagers. Many stagers feel lost when it comes to setting prices that result in profitability. And let's face it, profitability is Queen, right? Join Caterine Lewis Brown and I as we discuss strategies that you might implement when setting and raising your prices.

On this fourth episode of the special mini series, Marketing Your Home Staging Business, I shared 5 tips on marketing your home staging business on social media: what platforms to choose, how not to spend so much time on social media and still be effective, and how to be found on social media by your target customers.

Welcome to the first episode of the Home Stagers and Designers on Fire podcast. In this episode I will be giving you information on what you can expect in upcoming episodes . If you are a home stager or designer this is for you! I will also give you some mindset hacks for growing your business. Now let's get fired up!!!

Marketing is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you approach marketing with the mindset of, "This is going to suck," then yes, it will be an awful and depreciating experience for you. However, if you approach marketing with the mindset of, "I'm here to help a specific group of people in the best and most authentic way possible--I just need to find them," you'll find that marketing becomes less like running in place and more like sprinting toward a specific goal. In this episode, I share the biggest mistakes I made early in my business with the hope that you won't repeat them. I also take care of a few business "housekeeping" issues that you absolutely must address well before you take on your first client.

I'm so excited to interview Tracey McLeod, an internationally recognized Australian Home Stager, Founder of Presentation Sells and former President of the Queensland Interior Decorators Association. Drawing on her extensive experience in interior decorating, home staging and property styling, Tracey has helped hundreds of home sellers maximize their sale price from $20,000 extra on occupied home styling and up to $360,000 for vacant home presentation across her local areas of Brisbane and on Australia's Gold Coast.
