We know that we will enroll more students by offering a certification. 

But we don't believe in that business model.

A certification is commonly used as a marketing tool for training schools. Plus, we feel that it doesn't make much sense to self-certify our own courses. That's like going to a restaurant where the waiter tells you everything on the menu is good. Kind of silly, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️

We don't believe in renewal fees either. That's why all of our courses have lifetime access, even if we raise the course tuition or add more materials.

There are also associations who want to charge $5-10k to certify our courses. We would rather focus on investing that money and energy toward building better content for our students.

Plus, when was the last time you went into a restaurant and asked for the chef's certifications? Never, right?

It's the same in home staging. Clients only care if you can deliver what you promise to deliver. They will only ask if you have liability insurance, worker's comp, and what would be the lowest price you can do the job for. They don't even check if you have a business license (you should have one). 

This is why we don't feel that it makes sense to offer a certification with a made-up acronym. It is more of a marketing tool for training schools than anything else.

Of course, you can! And if you are happy with Googling, by all means, do that!

But here is the thing.. I've already done a lot of Googling, taken a lot of classes and invested a lot of time, resources and money to learn from the best. And I've put it all in a course for you. Not to mention I've also got some guest experts to teach you their best stuff!

By taking a course like this, you are investing in yourself and your business by tapping into my (and our guest mentors') experiences and expertises.

We are giving you our tried-and-true hacks, templates, scripts, etc., so you can get to where you want to be faster and with more profits.

You will also join fellow like-minded stagers and get support from one another. Think of it as your very own Justice League.

Also, it's just like homeowners who want to stage their homes themselves: the results may not be as great as hiring a pro like yourself. Or, they achieved the same results as hiring a professional stager, but they invested a lot more time, effort and learning curve to get there.

So take my class or Google? It's all up to you.

Both! The course dives into the key systems of a successful home staging business. 

It is suitable if you are a new stager who wants to establish a solid foundation for your home staging business, or an experienced stager who wants to hone and refine your business system and uplevel your home staging business.

And you don’t have to. Plenty of home stagers only do occupied homes and consultations. It’s your business; you decide your business model.

There are many hybrid business models today. Some combine home staging work with photography, some do staging and interior styling, and some are specializing in Airbnb and flips. You can leverage your skills and choose how you want to run your business.

In this course, I push the students to focus on their strengths and what they are passionate about, instead of following cookie-cutter formulas set by traditional home staging training schools.

I started as only wanting to do consultations as a way to get my foot into the door to get listings as a real estate agent. Then I fell in love with doing a specific type of staging with vacant homes, and I specialized in staging those types of properties.

It is completely up to you how you want to build your home staging business! My job here is to help you recognize your strengths and leverage that to build your own unique home staging business.

I am not very salesy either! In fact, I am an introverted person. Which is why I prefer eating lunch alone in my room instead of mingling at conferences.

During the course, I do push you to find your own strengths and push yourself out of the comfort zone a bit. Because the only way you will make positive changes for your business (and yourself) is to make uncomfortable choices.

This doesn't mean using sleazy sales tactics. This means that I will strongly encourage you to get out of the ease of email marketing and go out and call and shake hands with your clients instead.

Yes. While there are some US-specific situations (like when we are discussing the contracts), most of the concepts, scripts, templates and ideas can work in other markets. Some things, such as how to buy wholesale may differ from country to country, but the general guiding principles are similar. 

We run the 8-week intensive twice a year. Once in the beginning of the year, often starting in February. The other at the end of the year, often starting in October.

During these 8 weeks, one module is released every Monday with the exception of the two catch-up weeks. We do this to "force" you to take it easy, one module at a time, so that you can finish your homework for each module. There are two weeks in between for you to catch up on your work.

We will also post a calendar with all the Office Hour dates and any guest masterclasses that are scheduled.

We will also have 6 office hours. These are live coaching calls that you can submit questions in advance or ask during the live calls. They will also be recorded if you cannot make the calls.

After the 8-week intensive is over, every module is unlocked. You will still have access to your course materials all year round. You will also have access to our private course group for support throughout the year.

It depends on you! You are in control.

We recommend setting 3-5 hours a week to go through the lessons and work on your materials. Depending on how fast you read, go through the video content and how fast you are at completing the worksheets, it can take more or less time.

However, implementation may take a bit longer due to the nature of the materials covered.

There is absolutely no rush! There is also no right and wrong amount of time to complete your coursework.

Running a successful business is a long game and a continuous practice. It takes patiences, trials and errors and persistence to get to your goals. Overnight success is extremely rare.

But that’s why you have lifetime access to the course (and for its future updates!). You can rework the materials as your business evolves.

Cash in the Cushions focuses on the interior styling and staging aspects. It's about honing and developing your skills as an interior stylist and stager and how you can apply those skills to staging and other creative fields.

The Cash in the Cushions course covers design elements, principles and core composition techniques photographers use, so you understand how your work is photographed and presented. You will also work on refining your brand image in order to build a strong portfolio to attract the right clients for your business. While there are some business elements and skills mentioned in Cash in the Cushions course, 6-Figure Floor Plan is far more in-depth in the development of your home staging business.

The 6-Figure Floor Plan focuses on developing and setting up your key systems, workflows, templates and scripts to run your home staging business. We cover marketing, legal, pricing and operation systems in a home staging business.

We also focus on developing your strengths and encourage you to mold the business to something that is truly yours, that fits your lifestyle and your life goals. We don't teach the typical cookie-cutter business models that traditional home staging schools are teaching.

No, due to the nature of a digital course, we do not offer refunds. 

If you are not sure if this is the right course for you, we encourage you to read Cindy's blog post and listen to The Home Staging Show podcast. These resources will help you figure out if Cindy's teaching style is right for you. We are also more than happy to answer any questions you may have about the course. Just email us at [email protected]

Alums of our courses get a discount as part of their alumni perks. 

We don't offer scholarships but we offer work-trade options that you can deduct course tuition by bartering work with us. Just go to https://www.staged4more.com/join-us and check us out. If you don't see any open positions, reach out to us anyway, we can discuss some possibilities for you.

As many times as you want during the 12-month duration. After that, you have opportunities to renew to stay in the group at a more advanced level.

No, I can't.

Unfortunately, like most things in life, except death and taxes, your results are not guaranteed.

It's like what we tell our home staging clients:

Staging is a proven technique to improve their listings' chances to sell faster and for more money. We, as professional stagers, can give you all the expertise and knowledge from our experiences. But ultimately, it is up to you, my dear client, to put in the elbow grease and make it happen.

It is the same with you and your home staging business.

Running a business is not a simple straightforward thing. It's not like you can put in X hours of effort to get Y amount of money and satisfaction back. Your result may vary based on many variables, like your level of effort, skills, business acumen, personalities, and many other environmental factors like the economy.

This is why we cannot guarantee you any level of success, income, nor can we be responsible for your success and failure. 

Our students work very hard, put in the hours and effort in order to get the results you are reading about on this page. Running a home staging business is not a get rich quick scheme.

To be successful and build the vibrant and thriving home staging business you want, you do have to put in the time, effort and resources for the business to grow.

I promise I'll teach you everything I know. The rest of it? It is up to you!

That's a really great question.

Sure, there are new home stagers getting into the market every day. There are a lot of competitors out there.

But the good news is that there are more potential clients than working home stagers.

Plus, there is only one you out there. You bring unique touches and perspectives to your work that only you can execute.

In the course, we work on discovering your strengths and leveraging them to stand out in the competitive market.

Yes.... but not very often.

Your best bet would be taking advantage of it during the Early Bird Enrollment period. Because the course price will only go up, not down. 

Unlike many of our competitors that don't update their courses often, we continuously make updates, add content and work on improving of our students' experiences, which means increasing the prices as we deem necessary.

We also don't recommend waiting, because the earlier you start implementing all the good stuff you learn in 6-Figure Floor Plan, the earlier you will get to your goals. You can keep waiting for the price to drop to save a couple hundred dollars, but you may lose out on important opportunities to pivot your business.
