In this episode of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire, I interview one of my coaching clients. When Melpo and I started working together a year ago, she had only been in business for a few months. She wanted clarity around what to focus on , what types of jobs she should be going after and how to get those jobs. As we worked together a lot has changed. She has added design services to her menu, become way more confident about reaching out to Real Estate Agents, created a lead magnet, updated her website with new offerings and worked on her inner game (to much success). Learn about Melpo's journey here.

In this episode I share challenges that were going on in my personal life in 2021 and how I managed to separate my personal life from my business so that I would continue to grow. Many of us have personal stuff going on in the background and it can be tough so I hope this inspires you to "stay the course". I also talk about hope, setting goals for 2022 and the mindset that will get you there. And I challenge you to set a theme for the year. Let's make this your best year ever!
