In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Nando Barnett shares how he transformed Sell in Style from a small home-staging side hustle into a fast-growing multi-million-dollar company. After leaving a 10-year corporate career, he and his wife Sarah started flipping houses, which eventually led real estate agents to request their staging help. They went all-in during 2020, reinvesting everything, scaling from just the two of them to a team of 47. Nando explains how adapting as a leader, understanding clients deeply, and taking fast action fueled their growth to more than 1,400 jobs a year. He also highlights the importance of systems, mentorship, and building a strong team culture. The journey shows how clarity, bold risks, and a client-first mindset can turn a simple idea into a highly successful business. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Nando Barnett, the hardest part of growing a small business is mental attitude — staying strong when things go wrong, handling pressure, and quickly shifting from problems to solutions without getting stuck emotionally. He says you have to absorb the stress, process it, and then move forward with clear action, because your mindset determines how well you lead the business through tough moments. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Nando Barnett says the business books that helped him the most are Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell, Atomic Habits by James Clear, and several leadership-focused books like Leaders Eat Last, which have all influenced his mindset, productivity, and approach to leading a fast-growing business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Nando Barnett, he doesn't follow a long list of podcasts, but he focuses heavily on online learning by surrounding himself with mentors and expert content; he even redesigned his entire Instagram feed so that whenever he opens it, he only sees business leaders, coaches, and people he admires, allowing him to constantly learn, stay motivated, and absorb practical insights that help him grow his business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? According to Nando Barnett, the best tool to grow a small business is mentors, as he believes they dramatically shorten the learning curve, help business owners avoid costly mistakes, provide clarity during difficult decisions, strengthen mental resilience, and guide both day-to-day operations and long-term strategy, which is why he personally works with multiple mentors and invests heavily in ongoing coaching and advisory support. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Nando Barnett, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting in business is to strengthen his mental attitude, stay positive, push through the difficult weeks, and always support his team, because maintaining resilience and backing the people around him are what ultimately drive long-term success.

Meridith Baer grew up on the grounds of San Quentin prison, acted in TV and movies, wrote scripts in Hollywood … and then, at 50, started over – and built one of the best known home-staging companies in real estate.Meridith's life unfolds like a movie: As a teenager, she was forced to give up her baby for adoption. In her twenties, she was a writer for Penthouse. In her thirties and forties, she was a screenwriter in Hollywood, hobnobbing with Sally Field and dating Patrick Stewart.But in her late forties, Meridith hit a wall. Her writing career stalled, so she poured her energy into fixing up the house she was renting. When the owner sold that house almost immediately, she stumbled onto a strange new idea: why not stage homes for a living?From there, Meridith turned a few pieces of thrift-store furniture and potted plants into a full-blown business: trucks, warehouses, hundreds of employees, and high-end homes across Los Angeles, New York, Miami, and beyond. Along the way, she weathered the pressures of scaling a creative service into an operational machine—without ever raising outside capital.What you'll learn:How to reshape a career at 50 (or any age) without a master planHow Meridith priced her work based on value created, not hours workedWhy you don't always need investors to grow a multi-million-dollar service businessThe psychology of home staging: designing spaces that make buyers fall in love in the first 10 secondsHow Meridith thinks about legacy, stepping back, and seizing new opportunitiesTimestamps: 06:08 – Growing up as a warden's daughter inside San Quentin11:01 – Teen pregnancy, forced adoption, and reunion decades later12:43 – From Pepsi commercials to Penthouse magazine19:58 – Selling a major movie script, recoiling at the finished product22:47 – How a breakup with Patrick Stewart totally reshaped Meridith's life27:41 – The accidental first staging job at age 5035:17 – Early days of the business: vans, day laborers from Home Depot, and naming her price47:18 – Unexpected struggles: tax trouble, a cancer diagnosis51:07 – The business expands to New York and beyond1:00:22 – Running a 320-person company at 78—and what comes next1:05:56 – Small Business SpotlightThis episode was produced by Alex Cheng, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.

Le jeu de la semaine fait appel à l'architecte d'intérieur qui est en vous ! Home Staging fait le pari de lier Flip & Write (Draw) avec de la construction et de la décoration d'intérieur. Le pari, est-il réussi ? Home Staging Par Steffen Hacker Illustré par Clément Masson & Ekaterina Danilyuk Édité par Blue Orange De 2 à 6 joueuses Pour 10 ans et + Pour environ 30 minutes Description : Dans Home Staging, les joueurs représentent des entreprises de design d'intérieur à qui il a été demandé de remplir les pièces de meubles. Chaque joueur dispose d'un plan des pièces. Sur la table se trouvent des jeux de cartes pour chaque pièce, chaque carte représentant un meuble. Les joueurs retournent à tour de rôle l'une des cartes et choisissent l'une des formes indiquées au dos de la carte, puis tous les joueurs doivent dessiner ce meuble dans leur plan, en s'assurant qu'il reste suffisamment d'espace pour les murs, les portes et un couloir qui relie les pièces. Aussi, chaque meuble doit être accessible depuis la porte. Pour garantir cela, les formes de meubles affichent également des champs vides qui doivent être adjacents aux meubles. Pour pouvoir installer tous les meubles dans les pièces, les joueurs doivent chevaucher efficacement les champs vides. Lorsque toutes les cartes ont été retournées, les joueurs marquent un score en fonction de la quantité de meubles qu'ils ont pu placer. Le livret de scénarios contient plusieurs petites campagnes avec 25 scénarios en tout, avec différents niveaux de difficulté.

Your phone's getting quiet. Your inbox is slowing down. And your brain is getting LOUD. If you're in that space right now where clients are hesitating, agents are skipping staging, and you're wondering how you'll make it through the end of the year, take a deep breath. Nothing has gone wrong. What you're experiencing is what I call an integration period, and it's one of the most misunderstood, yet most important, phases of business growth. This is when your systems, your team, and your brain get to catch up to the last level you created before you move into the next one. In today's episode, I'm walking you through exactly what's happening in your brain during these slower seasons (hello, predictive coding and survival mode!), and more importantly, how to turn this integration period into your strategic advantage. I'll share my 5-focus area Integration Blueprint that will help you self-regulate, lead yourself through the quiet, and emerge from this season stronger, more prepared, and ready to hit the ground running when the listings come back—and they will. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why your brain flags slower seasons as a threat and how to self-soothe your survival brain through integration periods The 5-focus area Integration Blueprint with practical CEO actions for turning quiet seasons into strategic advantages How to conduct a powerful Groundhog Day Review and audit your pipeline to identify what worked, what didn't, and what to change The financial metrics every home staging business owner should review and why consistent visibility matters even when work is slow.

In this episode of AV Trade Talk, host Katye McGregor Bennett sits down with Alexa Centeno, co‑owner of Systems Design & Integration (SDI Boston) and founder of the new VELLA HAUS franchise, to explore how premium home staging and home technology come together to sell faster, sell higher, and create lifelong clients. Alexa shares her journey from integrator to stager (without leaving integration behind), the moment a $10M project setback became rocket fuel, and why she's taking her staging brand national. You'll hear about: How SDI evolved from hanging TVs to delivering 20,000‑sq‑ft smart estates with lighting control, theaters, outdoor lifts, motorized shades, voice control and more. The origin story of VELLA HAUS: turning a last‑minute “no” into a thriving staging business that completed 77 homes last year—and the systems she uses to scale. Staging with real tech to create emotion and demand: framed displays, full theater seating with screens and speakers, landscape audio, and why these experiences become powerful AV lead generators. Education as a differentiator: helping builders plan for shade pockets, lighting, and infrastructure—so design and technology align from day one. The big announcement: VELLA HAUS has launched and is now accepting franchise applicants for a national luxury home staging franchise with protected territories—starting in Massachusetts—and a highly selective (≈1%) award process. Who they're looking for and how to raise your hand. A peek inside SDI Boston's experience center: a Listening Room for cinema demos, an Experience Room showcasing Lutron, Ketra, Leon, Coastal Source, outdoor living, and more—curated to inspire designers, architects, builders, and homeowners alike. Highlights from Katye's CEDIA Expo Smart Stage panel on design‑tech collaboration featuring Toni Sabatino (Toni Sabatino Style), Caitlin Stewart (Leon Speakers), Frank DeFilippis (Sonos), and Alexa Centeno (VELLA HAUS), and what those conversations signal for integrator–designer partnerships. Whether you're a designer, integrator, builder, or realtor, this conversation offers practical ideas for teaming up, differentiating your projects, and creating unforgettable client experiences before, during, and long after the sale. #avtradetalkpod

Joining me is Jan Smith, owner of Designed to Sell Staging, one of Metro Atlanta's most trusted staging professionals.

We'll discuss: Which rooms deliver the biggest return on staging investment—from kitchens and living rooms to the all-important primary suite. How expert stagers use design trends, textures, and colors to connect emotionally with today's buyers. Why staging not only helps buyers fall in love with a home but also makes the process smoother for sellers and their agents. Plus, I'll share details on our Upside program, which gives homeowners flexible selling options designed to maximize results. Got a question or comment?

Here are the hard lessons from nine years of building Foxy Home Staging, straight from Jake. This is not theory, it's the messy, real work of growing a service business and leading a large team while staying client focused.What you will learn• Build leaders, not followers. Culture scales when others set the standard in your absence.• Assume the best in your people. Coach first, then decide.• Some days are just hard. Do the work and move forward.• Cash is king. Growth needs planning, discipline and runway.• Focus wins. Stick to what you are great at.• Work on the business. Step out of the day to day to let the team grow.• Every key role needs a backup. Do not single point your operation.• No one is indispensable. Protect the team and the business.• Hire fast and fire faster when the fit is wrong.• Do not promote too early. Great performers need leadership training and time.• Repetition builds culture. Say the important things again and again.• As a leader you get the worst problems. Own them.• You will make mistakes. Learn and keep improving.

From HGTV star to Hollywood actress to theater producer, Wanda Colon's creative journey has come full circle as she returns to her Reading roots with an exciting new project. After conquering television as a design expert and even sharing an on-screen kiss with Jean-Claude Van Damme (which she hilariously describes as "the worst kiss of my life"), Wanda is now channeling her passion into "LoveNotes Berks," a powerful storytelling experience premiering October 11th at the Miller Center.The show features twelve brave performers sharing deeply personal stories about love in all its forms—the heartwarming, the heartbreaking, and everything in between. During her conversation with Brad Weisman, Wanda reveals how the project came together through her connection with Heather Christie, who originated the LoveNotes concept with successful performances in New York. What makes this production unique is that each storyteller not only performs but has written their own authentic narrative, creating an intimate evening that moved even Wanda's husband to tears during rehearsals.Having spent nearly two decades away from Reading pursuing her entertainment career and co-founding the Academy of Home Staging and Design, Wanda speaks candidly about the unexpected joy of returning home. "I have such an appreciation for home," she reflects, touched by how warmly the community has embraced her vision. The production represents more than entertainment—it's a celebration of vulnerability, connection, and the universal experiences that bind us together.Whether you're a theater enthusiast or simply looking for a meaningful date night, "LoveNotes Berks" promises an evening of emotional storytelling complemented by musical performances from talented vocalists. The night continues with a special afterparty at the Peanut Bar featuring dinner specials created for the occasion.

Ich freue mich total, dass ich eine Expertin für den Beruf Home Staging für diese Folge gefunden habe. Es geht darum, leerstehende Häuser oder Wohnungen für Interessenten ansprechend einzurichten - temporär natürlich, denn die Käufer richten die Immobilie hinterher natürlich selbst ein. Dieser Beruf war schon für einige meiner Kunden - eher Kundinnen glaube ich - interessant. Und mein Gast Lea hat ihn ohne entsprechende Ausbildung gemacht, das heißt, dass er auch für Quereinsteiger prinzipiell geeignet ist. Wir sprechen darüber, welche Tricks es für das Home Staging gibt und wie man möglichst den Geschmack von allen Menschen treffen kann. Lea erzählt uns von ihrem Alltag - wenn man das überhaupt so nennen kann. Und sie erzählt, was sie an dem Beruf liebt und was Herausforderungen sind. Viel Spaß beim Zuhören oder Zuschauen. Diese Folge ist auch auf Youtube als Video zu finden :-)

#whatishomestaging#preparingyourhomeforsale #homestagingtipsIf you're preparing to sell your home, you've probably heard the term “home staging” and wondered, what is home staging and why does it matter? Home staging is the process of arranging furniture, décor, and accessories in a way that highlights your home's best features, makes rooms feel inviting, and helps buyers picture themselves living there. Instead of just listing your house as-is, staging turns it into a market-ready property that stands out in photos and showings—often leading to faster offers and a higher selling price.In this video you'll learn:✔️ What home staging actually involves✔️ The difference between staging and decorating✔️ Why staging matters in today's housing market✔️ Simple staging tips you can use right nowYou might like: Download my free staging guide, How toStart Staging Now at www.bit.ly/startstagingnow Recommended podcast playlists: Home staging do's and don'ts playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2HUY81lSHdLlMNTVXzbBEP Home Staging 101 playlist (for newbies) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7eRbuyhnDctg3JgyRriGwF Contact Kasia McDaniel to book a homestaging consultation today https://bluediamondstaginganddesign.com/online-staging-consult/ Connect with me: PIN: /bluediamondstaginganddesign WEB: www.bluediamondstaginganddesign.com READ MY BLOG POSTS https://bluediamondstaginganddesign.com/home-staging-blog/Keywordswhat is home staging, home staging tips, staging your home to sell, home staging hacks, staging a home, home staging ideas, staging a house, home staging training, staging home for sale, home staging before and after, home staging business, staging, diy home staging, home staging to sell your house, staging your home, home staging tips for selling a house, diy home staging tips, real estate staging, diy home staging ideas, home staging tips and tricks, home decor

Picture this: you're on a two-week vacation in Austria. The air is crisp, the scenery is breathtaking, and your phone is blissfully quiet. Not because your home staging business is falling apart, but because it's running better than ever. Projects are getting completed, clients are thrilled, and your team is stepping up, filling in gaps, and owning their roles. You're not "checking in" every five minutes…you're actually relaxing. Sounds dreamy??? Yes, it is! But that does not happen by accident. It is not luck, and it is not because everything magically fell into place the day you left. It's the result of reclaiming your CEO time before you thought you were ready. It is a reward of putting the right structures and support in place so you can step away without fear, guilt, or chaos waiting for you when you get back. In this episode of the Staging Sips podcast, I am going to walk you through how to stop running your business from a place of reactivity and start leading it from a place of intention. You'll learn how to strategically remove yourself from work that doesn't require your unique genius, why "waiting for the right time" is actually a trap that rewires your brain to stay busy, and the exact mindset shift that moves you from panic mode into builder mode. If you've been wearing every hat, clinging to every decision, and telling yourself this is "just a busy season"…it's time to see what's really possible when you protect your CEO hours like your most valuable asset. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why capacity before you're ready is the fastest path to sustainable growth. The two CEO filters and how to apply them to every task. The exact mindset shift that moves you from panic mode into builder mode. Practical “buy-back” moves to free the right hours for the right work.

Rhythm, predictability and structure could not feel any better! If you're running your home staging business week to week, feeling dizzy at the thought of planning beyond 7 days, that is not where you should be.

Today you'll discover why business owners who install simple rhythms; weekly CEO hours, monthly metric reviews, quarterly planning sessions don't just grow faster, but with less stress and more strategic clarity. You'll learn why creating these consistent rhythms for not just productivity can transform how you lead, creating space for clarity, reducing pressure, and allowing you to lead with more intention. Your desired home staging CEO self is already unlocked. You just have to do the work you most avoid. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why your brain craves predictability (and how that affects how you lead). Weekly, monthly, and quarterly rhythms that create momentum on autopilot. How to build cadence into your week even if it's just you and a whiteboard.

Feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list but guilty about delegating to your team? You're not alone. Many leaders struggle with what's known as delegation guilt. But in reality, effective delegation isn't about offloading work; it's about empowering your team and investing in their development. High-performing teams thrive when they're trusted with responsibility. They don't want to be shielded from challenges—they want to grow through them. So, while you are holding back from delegating, the ripple effect includes burnout for you, team members you cannot trust your business with and a business that does not grow. That is not what you are a listener of the Staging Sips podcast for right? This episode shares tips on leading by delegating effectively. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why delegation guilt happens and how to reframe it. The difference between offloading and strategic delegation. The IPO framework (Information, Permission, Outcome) for effective delegation. How to design role responsibilities for positions, not people.

Bertille Dobler est l'invitée de ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo. Directrice artistique de Maison Kyka, elle répond au micro d'Ariane Artinian pour dévoiler son approche sur-mesure, entre immobilier, rénovation et émotion. "Je chapeaute une équipe d'architectes pour donner une signature, une vision, une âme aux projets", explique Bertille Dobler. Chez Maison Kyka, on transforme les lieux en cocons à vivre – du 19 m² au 300 m². Tout est question d'harmonie, de moment de vie… et surtout, de couleur.“Un bien trop neutre, trop fade, ne déclenchera jamais d'émotion forte. Nous, on veut le ‘oui' d'un coup de cœur,”, affirme-t-elle. Et ce "oui" commence souvent par une teinte bien choisie. La couleur n'est pas un détail : "La couleur, c'est du bien-être psychologique, c'est scientifiquement prouvé."

And while there's no confetti cannon, we're celebrating something even more meaningful: the power of consistency. What began as a simple promise to show up — no matter what — has grown into a journey filled with lessons, imperfect action, and a whole lot of value for staging business owners like you. From recording in parking lots to pushing through tough personal moments, this podcast has been built on messy but committed action. In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply personal look at how perfectionism almost derailed me, and the mindset shift that helped me move forward anyway. I hope this episode encourages you to examine where perfectionism might be holding you back in your staging business. Enough to spur you to begin to take brave action — whether that's launching a new service, showing up in inboxes, or making an offer before you're “ready.” Remember, you don't have to be perfect to be impactful. You just have to show up. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why perfectionism is keeping you stuck — and how to move past it Why your body of work matters more than any one email, post, or consultation Real-life examples of taking action before having it “all figured out” How to use your CEO brain to turn imperfect action into long-term success RESOURCES: Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.
