If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, then the redesign or home staging business may be just right for you. Do you love decorating your home? Are you addicted to home decorating shows and magazines? Do you know exactly what someone should do to sell their home fast? Are you constantly moving your furniture around? Do you find yourself decorating for your friends and family for free? Do you have a flair for decorating? Keep in mind, however, that Redesign and Real Estate Staging are more than just having the talent and skills to do the job. The business of this business is the part that can be tricky. Readers of this book will fall into one of the following categories: Those With a Second Career: You already have a successful career and are looking for something new.

Being your own boss allows you to be flexible. Those That Are Business Beginners: You have started your own business, and are finding that the small business tools that are available just do not apply to the design industry.

CD is a virtual waste

What a waste of a perfectly good blank CD.

Book is so basic it was almost insulting in places - like I think I can figure out how to fill out someone's form all on my own and don't need the author to waste pages on how to fill out a self-exlanatory form to me.

This book helps you now and later

Great book, not only does it take you step by step on how to start your business it also tells you what to do after. All I wanted to know was how to begin the business, the book goes into how to grow your business and add services. As far as marketing the book touches on ways to fully market yourself. The CD that comes along with the book has examples of business forms , business plans, and many more.
Useful info you can use NOW, for any services-based business!

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I already own a professional organizing business and wanted to grow it to include staging, so I picked up Mary's book. It was chock-full of incredibly useful information that I was able to implement immediately! I've got post its stuck all over this book because I keep referring back to it -- it's become my marketing bible! Mary's book helped me grow both my existing business and my staging business, and I recommend it for anyone in their first 5 years of running any services-based business! Thanks Mary!

Reviewer: L. Chandler,
This book was the most disappointing of any self help how to book I have ever purchased. I anticipated as advertised, forms to be used in the business. Yes, there are some forms, but not one was anything more than a first grader would have been able to produce in a Word document. What's your name, address, etc. I would have expected detailed information and ideas related to a good contract to protect both yourself and your client when you entered into an agreement to handle work for your client. And for supplies to start up your business, who doesn't know you need a pen or pencil,a pair of scissors, etc. The entire text of the book was at elementary level and the content of forms, etc. was the same.
Loved it

I read the book in less than two days. It was an easy read and confirms everything that I learned in my staging & redesign class a couple of years ago. I also learned some new ideas that I will implement in my business immediately. I recommend this book to anyone in a decorating business and anyone planning to start one. I will continue to refer to it thoughout my career.
