The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program scheduled for January 2008 offers a new career opportunity for individuals with a talent for decorating and creativity.

The New Year is often a time for individuals to think about making improvements in their lives and one of the areas in which people are most dissatisfied is work. Simply making a resolution to leave a job, train for a new career or set up a business isn’t enough. You need to take action.

Some people know what the ideal career would be for them, but feel it’s beyond reach. Others have a passion or a hobby but don’t believe it could ever make them any money. And most people would like to set up a business but don’t have the right experience.

The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program gives individuals who are interested in turning their decorating talents and creativity into a new career the tools to start and grow their own successful home staging business. If you are one of those people who has a passion for design and decorating, home staging may be the ideal way to marry your passion with a highly lucrative business opportunity.

Home Staging (House Staging, House Fluffing, House Primping, Real Estate Staging) is the art of decorating a home to sell quickly and for top dollar. Home staging has been named one of the hottest growth businesses by Entrepreneur Magazine.

"My mission is to inspire and empower others to discover new opportunities to live the life of their dreams", said internationally recognized home stager Debra Gould, President of StagingDiva.com and developer of the Staging Diva Training Program.

"For many of our Staging Diva Graduates, it's their first opportunity to combine their passion for decorating with a desire to run their own business."

The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program is the only home staging program taught by someone with an MBA and over 25 years of business experience, who has also personally built a successful home staging business (not as a sideline to selling real estate).

The program’s emphasis is on business practices, marketing strategies and pricing of services. It is not a "decorating" course but instead encourages those with an eye for decorating to turn their passion into a business.

Heather Ray Ryan of Florida says, "The Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program gave me the knowledge, power and confidence to quit my job of eight years and start doing something I have only dreamed of. Family and friends have a new found respect for me for being an example to my children by stepping outside my comfort zone and going for what I really want!"

The next Home Staging Training Program begins January 9, 2008. For the course description and schedule, visit http://www.stagingdiva.com.

Debra adds, "Over 700 Staging Diva graduates worldwide agree that my course is not theory, it’s practical hands-on advice you can use today and in the years ahead as your business evolves."
