“Believing in your dreams demands that you are prepared to receive them” Barbara J. Winter in her book Making a Living Without a Job.
The above quote from Winter’s book is written on a 3 X 5 card which is stuck in the French Memo Board that hangs at eye-level next to my computer.
That small reminder takes my mind back to the pages in which Winter describes how she realized she needed to purchase a passport if she truly believed in her dream of returning to England. The unfolding of the tale which goes from desire to dream to a trip to England is the backdrop Winters uses to help readers understand the importance of being prepared to receive their individual dreams.
When I began to understand the principles behind the story I also began to think in terms of which “passports” I needed to purchase or achieve in order to go to the place (being a great home stager) I wanted to go.
Following are some examples of what items or skills (passports) I already owned when preparing for my journey:
- Business savvy
- Display trained background
- Interior Design education
- Computer
- Cell phone
- Desk
- Daily Planner
Here are some examples of items or skills (passports) which I found I needed to acquire:
- Color laser printer
- Marketing savvy
- Separate office space
- Another file cabinet
- Business alliances
- Wide variety of staging accessories
- Quality steamer
You get the picture – being prepared requires thoughtfulness and, yes, some time and some money.
This is the first in a 3 part series concerning being prepared to receive your dreams.
In part 2 we take a look at how a home stager can be prepared to receive his or her dreams by acquiring particular passports.
Part 3 concerns how home sellers may realize their dreams of selling their properties through being prepared with the proper passports.

Yvonne ~ This is an interesting way of thinking of what you need and what you already have. You've got me thinking that I should make my own list, and keep it as part of my "vision board" of what I am hoping for.
