Thoughts on a Home Staging Business

Herbert and Dorothy Vogel began searching out unknown artists and purchasing works of art that they loved or thought were interesting pieces. They didn't do it because they were looking for an investment. They never sold any of the pieces they bought. They did it just for the love of art.

Thirty years later they had collected over 2500 works of art. Eventually they donated most of their collection to the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.

If you are one of those people who just loves to decorate, loves to organize, loves to create serene spaces that feel calm, you should absolutely love being in the home staging business. But if you don't like to fix things up, correct problems and be with people, then you're not likely to enjoy home staging as a business.

When you love what you do, you have a much, much better chance of being successful. You'll be happier, you'll work harder, you won't be focused solely on the pay back.

Loving what you do is so important. Life is too short to spend all day doing what you hate.
