Some of the initial hurdles you worked hard to overcome are back again. Depending on how drastic the change is, you might have to start again from the ground up. Don\u2019t be discouraged! Just because it\u2019s tough doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s impossible. You need to give yourself the best chance of success in your dream career. This is all big talk, but how can you actually go about it? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got your back! Keep reading to find out how to transition to a career in home staging!\n<h3>Motivate yourself<\/h3>\nIn most cases, the biggest hurdle toward achieving your dreams is yourself! If you already have a full-time job that pays the bills, giving it all up for the uncertainty of chasing your dreams is terrifying! If you\u2019re a smart cookie, like we know you are, you\u2019re probably doing lots of research to ease the transition.\n\nDoing your research to inform your decisions decreases your risk of failure. Take your time to get to know the industry. Is there a demand for home stagers in your local area? Is there a local real estate or staging association where you can find support? These considerations as well as salary estimations and employment rates are important! They may even encourage you to change careers. But remember, the most important thing you need to assess is yourself!\n\nAsk yourself why you\u2019re interested in home staging. Do you feel fulfilled when your work makes someone else happy? Do you love mixing different colors, patterns, and textiles for an array of different projects? When you know that you have some of the skills and talent required for a field, you\u2019ll feel more confident. Your transition will be much smoother when you know that you already have some of the basic building blocks.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;11864&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Get certified!<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s tough to break into any industry, especially without any form of training. How else will you learn how to depersonalize, declutter, and create curb appeal for your clients\u2019 homes? What about learning how to run a business, interact with clients, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/06\/workin-with-real-estate-agents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">work with real estate agents<\/a>? You\u2019ll learn all these skills in a home staging course. And if you can say you\u2019ve learned your technical and soft skills from reputable school\u2026 you\u2019re in the money!\n\nOnce you\u2019ve decided that you need professional training, the next step is to look for a school\/course. Since home staging isn\u2019t a regulated industry in most places, there are some sketchy options out there. Look for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accredited schools<\/a> that provide certifications.. If your schedule is too busy to allow you to take courses at a brick-and-mortar college, look online!\n\nOnline home staging courses are designed to fit your busy lifestyle. You don\u2019t need to travel to a campus every day and there are no hard deadlines to meet. You\u2019ll work at your own pace and complete assignments when you have the time to do so. If you\u2019re excited to break into the industry, commit a few hours a week to your studies. It\u2019s easy to make a plan to complete your assignments but it\u2019s another to follow through. You don\u2019t want to rush your education, but you also don\u2019t want to take too long. If it takes forever, you may feel like you\u2019re better off giving up! Having discipline will ensure that you get the most out of your tuition fees and course.\n<h3>Build a strong portfolio<\/h3>\nShowing that you have professional training is just the first step. Your certificate tells potential clients that you have a proper education. But after graduating, what do you have to show for it? Learning color theory and selecting window treatments is one thing, but actually knowing how to do it to help sell homes is another.\n\nAs a fresh grad, you may be worried that you don\u2019t have enough paid, professional staging experience to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2016\/11\/beef-design-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">add to your portfolio<\/a>. But that doesn\u2019t mean you should omit a portfolio section from your professional website!\n\nDedicate a section of your website to showcasing your work. Include the assignments you worked on in your home staging class. You worked hard to get that certification, so why not show potential clients what you\u2019re capable of? You may not have staged for homeowners just yet, but that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not equipped to carry out excellent staging projects. Let those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2015\/08\/taking-good-design-portfolio-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">beautiful images<\/a> speak on behalf of your talents.

If you have the means to give it a go, then dive in! But, for most of us, we need to start slowly.\n\nSlowly get your name out there by taking on a few clients whom you can work with on evenings and weekends. Build up a reputation for yourself, and save whatever earnings you make from your work, so that when you ARE ready to go at it full-time, you\u2019ll have a strong foundation to rely on.\n\nOnce you\u2019ve built a solid client list and a good reputation in your local industry, you\u2019re ready to jump into staging full time!\n<h3>Be patient and keep learning<\/h3>\nRome wasn\u2019t built in a day\u2014and you can\u2019t expect a great career to be built quickly. You have to have patience as you develop your skillset and client base. It can be frustrating to finish up your professional training and not be able to quit your day job for the first few months or year. Don\u2019t fret! Just keep your head down and work hard. Your dedication and passion for the job will show through to your clients. We guarantee that there\u2019s nothing better for your career than word-of-mouth recommendations.\n\nFinally, keep learning!
