Regardless of any way you slice it, it’s going to take some time and effort, but the better prepared you are, the smoother that process can be. I know it may seem like nothing about building an online community is ‘fundamental,’ there are some fundamental processes that will help organization and execution.   Start With Your Goals   If you could sit in on a board meeting of the most successful companies in history, there’s one thing they’ll never have on their list of goals: We’d like to make enough money to buy and sell small countries.

Make Sure to Give Sellers Their Homework! A Case Study… Before we, as home stagers, decide on whether or not we want to take on a home staging job, I always advise going to see the property and meet the home seller and realtor whenever possible. There will be times in your career where you turn down a job because it’s not right for you. In this case I thought that it was very doable especially since I was bringing in some PRES graduates to assist the new students. Over the years I have moved many desks – taken them apart and reconnected the computer quite easily. I did not give the client any homework (big mistake on my part) such as taking the desk apart and moving it up into the spare room that we would later make into an office. This home is fairly typical in our market of a family h...
