The Day I Realized Growth Would Cost Me Comfort, Clients, and Control
Staging Sips
There's a business season that doesn't get talked about enough; the one where growth stops feeling exciting and starts feeling heavy. It's a different phase from when you are the only person and you are tired from being overwhelmed. Here, you're no longer doing everything yourself. What you have running are systems, training, and leadership, but these feel harder than any work you have ever done. This episode is grounded in what that season looked like inside my own business, because it's a phase so many owners experience but rarely name out loud. I walk through what was really happening for...

The Hidden Complexity Behind “Simple” Workflows in Staging Businesses
Staging Sips
We love to say we want things to be simple. Simple workflows. Simple systems. Simple days. But if you’ve ever felt exhausted by something that looks straightforward on paper, please come closer. On Staging Sips today, I am pulling back the curtain on why “simple” workflows in a staging business often feel anything but simple. Also, why that doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong. Rather, it means you’re running a real business with real moving parts. This episode isn’t about adding more software or forcing yourself into tighter systems. It’s about understanding the invisible...

5 Ways To Use An Email List To Grow Your Staging Business
Staging Sips
Building an email list was invaluable for growing my staging business. And no, not in a flashy, overnight way. I mean in a steady, reliable “this actually works” way. And why am I bringing this up again, it is because it is one of the most valuable yet untapped points of growth for your business. As the CEO of your staging business, one of your most important roles is keeping your pipeline full of the right clients, often starting with face to face moments.

Start Your New Year Like a CEO: The Ritual That Changes Everything
Staging Sips
Today’s episode is intentionally gentle. We would rather end the year not forcing goals, not creating pressure, and not deciding who you are supposed to become when the calendar turns. Instead, this is a guided CEO year beginning ritual meant to help you step into the year ahead feeling steady, supported, and clear in your role as a staging business owner. Why? Because the truth is constant “A new year does not make a new you, your capacity does.” To round up the year, let’s take an honest look at what you are carrying into the new year and what no longer needs to come with...

This One Shift Will Make You a Stronger, More Sustainable Staging CEO
Staging Sips
Can I be honest with you? Most of us are growing our businesses all wrong. We're adding more clients, more inventory, more team members, more stress and wondering why we feel like we're being dragged behind the business we created instead of leading it. You've probably 10x'd your to-do list, your warehouse space, and your sleepless nights long before you've 10x'd the care you give yourself. And that? That's the problem. Because here's what nobody tells you when you're building a staging business: The business doesn't grow because you work harder. It grows because YOU grow. Not your hustle. Not...

Leverage The Extraordinary New Staging ROI Data In Your Business
Staging Sips
The newest data from the Real Estate Staging Association just dropped for Q2 and Q3, and I need to share something with you that honestly broke my heart a little bit when I saw it. The ROI numbers? Absolutely extraordinary. We're talking about the kind of returns that would make any financial advisor pause and say, "Wait, are we talking about a Ponzi scheme here?" But here's what got me: The average staging investment sits under $5,000. A $3,800 to $4,300 investment producing anywhere from $58,000 to $100,000 in additional seller equity. Now, I'm not sharing this to make you feel bad about...
