Ok, so apparently my focus was in the right place at the right time (or at least my mini-van was!). I was on my way to an appointment for a large renovation vacant home staging job when I got a call on my cell phone. Those of you with advertising on your vehicle (that's all of you, right?) know how it goes....
"Hi, are you driving a red mini van? Great, I'm in the car behind you....." The caller goes on to say that her sister, an elderly woman, just moved into a new home and needs help! Today I did a general walkthrough to estimate the time it will take to unpack her home and set up everything. My estimate is approximately 3 days, maybe 4. My daily rate is $750. We begin work on Tuesday - my first available day. (I have to unstage 2 homes and stage 3 others between now and then!)
The moral of this story....
1) ALWAYS have signage on your vehicle. Why are you paying for a website and NOT for car signage? And don't tell me you don't have a website either.... we'll need to have some serious conversations if this is you....
2) FOCUS on the business you would like to have. I've found whenever I start thinking of what I WANT to work on the universe provides
3) REMEMBER that there are many ways to bring in income in this business. Keep your options open & constantly look for possibilities!
