Aspiring home stager ignores friends' advice about "credentials"

I received a comment on one of my blog posts last year from aspiring home stager, Katie Mines. She mentioned that she was finding the decision of where to get her home staging training an overwhelming one. She was learning a lot from my newsletters and blog posts, but someone was advising that she take a course that would give her some real "credentials" instead.

Read about how Katie decided to heed my advice instead of her friends' and learn more about her success as a home stager in this article on the Home Staging Business Report.

Did your vacation make it harder to go back to a job you hate?

For many people, a vacation is a wonderful thing; rest, relaxation and an escape from the everyday.

Long before the holiday is over, stress levels rise as they recognize that returning to that job actually sucks the life out of them.

If you’re feeling jealous of your children getting excited to go back to school while all you have to look forward to is another long stretch of doing work that doesn’t fulfill you, this is the perfect time to consider your options.
