Your Business "To Do" List
The "Getting Started Guide" used to be called the "First Fifty Things To Do List" and is your first "Guide" in the HSR Training Manual. We changed the name and the format since it could be a bit overwhelming to see fifty things to do on the first day! Instead, we placed some of the older action items into the sections they discussed and now you have a manageable "Getting Started Guide" you can tackle and schedule on Day One.
Feel free to get started right away by downloading Week One of the Training Manual (if you haven't already) and start watching the videos below and checking things off your list (or scheduling them for a later day)...
As you considered taking the first big steps towards owning and operating your own business, you probably had about a thousand ideas and things “to do” swirling around in your head. Creating a business plan helps to keep organized from the 10,000-foot view, but what about your day-to-day details?
The Home Staging Resource doesn’t want you to reinvent the wheel as you create your new home staging business. In fact, most of our products are centered around setting up your business foundation and marketing plan so we can help you focus on what you do best...transforming interiors.
The Getting Started Guide will help you cut through the storm in your head and organize your priorities step-by-step. It will take the mystery out of how you start a business and what to do…first.
We’ve listed all of the important details of starting and getting your home staging business up and running in a workbook format. You can interact with this guide and check things off on the HSR Planning Checklist as you move along.
Below are wonderful videos that expand on the "Getting Started Guide," so read through the guide first, then watch these videos as you prepare for an AWESOME business!
