Home Staging Confidence

Working hard isn't enough to succeed. Of course you have to work hard. But in and by itself, it isn't enough.

I received a call this week from a gal who decided she didn't want to spend an extra $50 to switch from my ebook on home staging to a printed version. I couldn't believe that she (or anyone for that matter) would let $50 stop her from moving forward to get the training she wanted.

As I talked to her further, it became quite apparent that she lacked personal confidence. This seemed strange because she was the daughter of a prominent architect/designer and had grown up "in the business", so to speak.

If you don't believe in yourself, people will sense that. People only hire people who are confident - not arrogant - but sure of themselves.

If you don't believe in yourself, can you really expect someone else to believe in you? Only your mother does that.

How do you get confidence?

By doing it.
