Key Takeaway:

“The biggest skill you really need is to have a passion for design. You need to have an eye for it and you really need to be good at it because a lot of people like design but they do not know how to put it together.” – Stacey Shelby

The difference between Interior Design and Home Staging according to Stacey:

Interior Design – designing specifically for you with your own personal taste

Home Staging – has to appeal to the masses. It has to be that look that people walk-in in as neutral as possible but still with a little twist in design in it.

“When I was starting, I just wished that there were more things that I knew and someone would tell me. That is why I started my staging program because now, I teach other women how to start their staging businesses even with no inventory.” – Stacey Shelby

“The biggest obstacle that I faced in my business was COVID. I had to do so much more that I had to spend more money, create new policies and clean the furniture more often. The way that I got through that was I just kept pressing through, and I read my business books.” – Stacey Shelby

“Yes, you just have to push through. You can’t let that one obstacle stop you.” – Pamela Stone

“Pray over your business and let God be the C.E.O. of the business. I am just a vessel that You put here to move this thing forward.” – Stacey Shelby
