subject: Craving a Career Change? Reinvent Yourself As A Home Stager! [print this page] Author: Debra Gould Author: Debra Gould
Its rare today for anyone to keep the same career for a lifetime. And since were all living much longer than our parents generation, many people at the traditional retirement age realize they still have many years ahead that theyd like to be productive, not to mention doing work they would love.
Many Staging Diva Graduates have reinvented their lives to find creative fulfillment as home stagers.
Fran Matsumoto, co-owner of Pristine Staging in Beverly Hills is one example. Fran held jobs as an airline employee and also as the office manager to Rodney Dangerfield and his wife Joan before reinventing her life as a home stager!
The mother of a large yours, mine, ours blended family, Jayne Steuarts career was spent caring for eight children, waiting for her turn to do something for herself. With her youngest child now 14 years old and her own work off the back burner, Jayne is having the time of her life as a home stager and owner of Pearl Home Staging and Redesign.
In her early 50s, a layoff saw Donna Dazzo out of a 25+ year career in the field of financial services. Rather than taking that time to find another job in her industry, she started her own successful home staging business, Designed to Appeal.
Gary Baugher left a secure management position hed held for 15 years at a car rental company to start his Nashville home staging company, An Eye 4 Change.
Ken Sater in California started his home staging business, Creative Home Visions, after working for 18 years in mortgage banking and 14 years in the insurance industry.
In one of the more recent stories Ive heard and possibly the most romantic, Sophia Mose escaped her job in London where she worked as a lawyer, to the countryside of France to work as a home stager.
Sophia writes, Im not having an easy time getting clients as Home Staging is an unfamiliar concept here, but Im not giving up. If it doesnt work here, well just move to a more populated area! All the time, people are questioning my choices and telling me that Ill regret it, but you cant listen to that. You have to give it a try, otherwise youll regret it for the rest of your life.
I couldnt have said it better myself.About the Author:
