I keep reading blogs on people commenting on the flash in the pan stagers. The people that think because their friends told them they have a knack for it decide to start their own company....
For those of us who are serious full timers it makes it harder to legitimize a newbie profession. That being said it happens in most professions so why should ours be any different.
Competition is good for everyone - I know personally it makes me want to be better and try harder to be the best.
As soon as people realize it's not all fun and games and it's a lot of blood (dropping thing's or hitting your finger instead of the nail), sweat (furniture's not light) and tears (not every client's a dream client) I think like anything only the strong or exremely motivated remain.
I know that I'm way to stubborn to ever quit and I love what I do blood, sweat and all the tears because at the end of the day I know I help people wether it be FREE staging (see previous blogs) or otherwise.
I know that when a customer gives me a hug and say's how great it looks and how much they appreciate it it makes it all worth while.
My only problem is becoming too emotionally involved and wanting to help everyone....my poor husband I do love to volunteer him to help. Thank God he's such a great person.
Good Luck to all the stagers!
