Home Staging Fears
When I was in high school, I lived in Japan. Our home was at the base of some beautiful foothills. We had winding small roads that were largely paved, but all uphill. My dad had purchased a 50cc Honda motorcycle as traffic in Japan was really getting bad.Naturally I wanted to ride the motorcycle. My desire was a combination of excitement, thrill and fear all rolled into one. It didn't take long to learn how to change gears and ride, but I was only allowed to ride the bike on the back roads where there was practically no traffic.
It didn't take long to learn that when negotiating a curve on a motorcycle one had to lean into the curve, getting closer to the ground. To ride erect was an invitation to a fall.
In business, you have to learn to "lean into the curves" as well. When you are a novice, it's understandable to try to avoid situations that scare you or that feel potentially dangerous. But the sooner you figure out that the best way to keep from falling is getting closer to the ground, the easier your business will grow.
And should you get a little too close to the ground and fall, you just pick up your "bike" and get back on and keep riding. Before you know it, you will be maneuvering easily and effectively with all the confidence in the world.
I publish an easy to understand tutorial called Home Staging for Profit which will help you navigate and learn to zip through the curves.
