School of Women's Sexual Desire
When we are young, we are vulnerable to believe a lot of funny stuff about sex. Didn't all of us believe that women could lose virginity to a tampon? But the older and wiser us can spot sex myths easily. Still some hearsay can keep us guessing and could be preventing us from reaching the perfect spot between the sheets. Let us school you on what's true and what's false when it comes to women's sexual desires.Loading...
Myth 1: Women want less sex than men.
Fact: Women think about sex as much as men do. Sure, they are not that impulsive. But, women express their desires more discreetly. Aside from pure physical arousal, women need to feel loved.
Myth 2: Women don't like porn.
Fact: Women too enjoy pornography. And if you thought only men can conjure up fantasies, then you are definitely misguided. Remember not all women want to be whisked away into a gentle world of "love-making".
Myth 3: Sex during menstrual cycle won't get you pregnant.
Wrong! Just a small-little sperm is needed to make you pregnant and those things can stay alive inside for several days and fertilise the egg later, especially if your cycle is short. It is unlikely that a woman will get pregnant while menstruating but not impossible.
Myth 4: Orgasm feels like earth-shattering.
Alas! That's not true. Some women may not even know they had an orgasm. In some women, pelvic muscles don't contract as much however after a point of arousal they do feel relaxed and content. It's normal if he didn't "rock your world."
Myth 5: G-spot is always erogenous.
Fact: True that every woman has a G-spot but, not every woman's G-spot is an erogenous zone. Don't waste your time on finding the sweet spot if you've failed a couple of times. Focus on her other erogenous spots instead.
Myth 6: A woman's pleasure noises are a proof that she is enjoying it.
Fact: Some women are more vocal while others are not. Don't expect her to scream all the time. If she isn't making pleasure sounds, it doesn't mean she isn't enjoying it. Sometimes silence is golden.
Myth 7: Sex isn't important to women.
Women appreciate a good sex life just like men; they just don't prioritise it over family life. Women multi-task and attempt to combine everything. You only have to look at the Sex & the City girls to see that sex is very much at the forefront of many ladies' minds!
Myth 8: Women want it to get over soon.
Fact: No, just the refusal on guy's part to stop until his partner achieves orgasm is a letdown. But, if he really gets going hitting the right spot over and over again, women don't want you to stop ever.
Myth 9: Women need to be wooed to have sex.
Fact: Sometimes they do need an extra bit of wooing but women have been conditioned like that- they should not to make the first move when it comes to everything from asking someone out on a date to planting that very first kiss to initiating sex to proposing marriage. The same goes with sex; they don't want to seem desperate.
Just because clitoral orgasms feel awesomely fantastic doesn't mean women don't enjoy other things. Like giving blow jobs, and experimenting with anal, and trying a bit of kinky role playing. Women like it all.

Appalachian State, Georgia Southern accept Sun Belt invitations
Appalachian State and Georgia Southern University announced on Wednesday they will rise to the Football Bowl Subdivision in moving from the Southern Conference to the Sun Belt Conference effective July 1, 2014.
They will leave the Football Championship Subdivision as two of the most successful programs in history, with Georgia Southern holding a record six national titles and Appalachian State ranking third with three, in addition to both being annual contenders for SoCon championships.
Although both football programs will keep their 2013 schedules intact, they will go above the FCS scholarship limit of 63 and become ineligible for either the SoCon title or a national playoff berth.
They will begin playing Sun Belt games and be revenue-sharing members of the conference in 2014 and eligible for the Sun Belt conference title, but will not be eligible to play in a bowl game. In 2015, they will become full members of the conference and be bowl eligible.
The Sun Belt is slated to have 12 full-time members when Appalachian State and Georgia Southern become members for the 2014-15 academic year, joining Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Georgia State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama, Texas-Arlington, Texas State, Troy and Western Kentucky. All but Arkansas-Little Rock and Texas-Arlington will field FBS football programs, but Idaho and New Mexico State will join the conference as associate members in football.
"This is a milestone day for Georgia Southern University, and we are very excited to be joining the Sun Belt conference," Georgia Southern president Brooks Keel told a standing-room-only crowd in the Williams Center during the official announcement.
"This decision was made with the long-term interest of our university in mind," Keel continued. "The Sun Belt will provide our student-athletes with an outstanding opportunity to compete at the highest level, and we are excited to contribute to the conference's success both on and off the field. I am equally excited about the opportunity that it will provide Georgia Southern and the more than 75,000 alumni that make up the Eagle Nation."
Appalachian State athletic director Charlie Cobb said at an on-campus news conference, "I want to stress the fact that today is a starting point for us. I'd like to repeat that, today is a starting point. If anyone thinks today's announcement is a culmination moment for Appalachian, please rest assured that the heavy lifting starts today.
"Quite frankly, our easier course of action was to stay with the status quo. However, and I say this with tremendous respect and gratitude for our past and present colleagues in the Southern Conference, when I say the status quo was not acceptable for Appalachian and it doesn't embrace the Appalachian spirit, whether it's in academics, athletics or the arts."
Sun Belt Conference commissioner Karl Benson visited both campuses to formally accept the invitations from the schools.
ASU and GSU will join the Sun Belt in all sports except men's soccer in 2014-15. The Sun Belt does not sponsor men's soccer, so the two schools will have to find another conference home for their teams.
Southern Conference commissioner John Iamarino, in a statement from the conference, said, "While we're disappointed to be losing Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, the Southern Conference cannot provide the platform their football programs are seeking. We'll wish them well when they depart.
"Our membership discussions with our presidents, chancellors and athletic directors will continue as they have for the past 18 months and figure to be more focused on specific options with this most recent development. There are quality institutions interested in speaking with us regarding conference membership, and our options remain solid."
As the SoCon pursues expansion, its membership would stand at nine with Chattanooga, Davidson, Elon, Furman, North Carolina-Greensboro, Samford, The Citadel, Western Carolina and Wofford. All but Davidson and UNCG have football programs.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Emanuel Chapman dished out 10 assists and five North Carolina Central players scored in double figures as the Eagles rolled to a 94-40, nonconference victory over National Christian College Athletic Association member Toccoa Falls Tuesday night.
Jeremy Ingram led North Carolina Central (3-3) with 19 points. Jay Copeland had 17 points, Stanton Kidd had 15, Ray Willis had 13 and Ebuka Anyaorah had 12 to round out the double-digit scorers.
Chapman, who also pulled down six rebounds, now has 252 assists in his career, moving him into the top 10 in Eagles' history.
North Carolina Central dominated the first half, building a 59-22 halftime lead on 24-of-31 shooting (77.4 percent).
The Eagles scored 48 points off 28 turnovers.
Toccoa Falls (2-5) tried mounting a second-half comeback from beyond the arc, but the attempt fizzled as the team went 0 for 14 on 3-point tries after the intermission.

A charm bracelet is an item of jewelry worn around the wrist, it carries personal charms; decorative pendants or trinkets, which signify important things in the wearer's life.
The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet to ward off evil spirits or bad luck. Charm bracelets have been the subject of several waves of trends, Queen Victoria wore charm bracelets that started a fashion among European noble classes, soldiers returning home after World war brought home trinkets made by craftsmen local to the area where they were fighting to give to loved ones.

I ordered this in 16 gauge in high polish with clear gems to put in my septum piercing. The piece is very high quality, the threading is very fine and the gems sit perfectly straight and reflect a lot of light for being so tiny.

I'm Late, I'm Late for a Very Important Date
by, December 6th, 2009 at 11:34 PM (5085 Views)
"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow."
-Mark Twain
The meet deadline is about seven weeks away, and so far there are two entries. From past experience, one half of all entries will show up in the week before the meet. Since we make the best attempt to treat our swimmers to their benefit, we select a deadline as close to the meet as possible. Our deadline is determined by the deadline for tee shirt orders, which is Monday before our meet.
If we did not have tee shirts, I would set the deadline for two days before the meet. It takes one minute to push the computer button to seed the meet, and half a day to copy the meet program at Office Depot. I never understood why local meets have a deadline two weeks before the meet.
We send our tee shirt order in Monday before the meet. The shirts are ordered and delivered to the printers on Tuesday. The shirts are printed on Wednesday, and ready for pickup on Wednesday or Thursday. That leaves a day or two for unforeseen problems:
- Washington has seen some snow at that time of year. Everything shuts down here and people freak out at the thought of snow (from someone who grew up in upstate New York) And, there is a possibility that we could get a real storm.
- The printer could make a big goof and need additional time to make the shirts right.
One year I sent in my entry to the local Albatross Open. I got a call from the meet director that went something like this:
MD: We received your meet entry today, but the entry deadline was yesterday.
ME: Sorry; it was mailed a day or two ago. Is it a problem?
MD: Yes, it was a day late. You need to deck enter and pay an extra fee at the meet.
ME: Did you do the seeding yet?
MD: No.
ME: So what is the problem? Why can't you enter me in the meet?
MD: Because your entry was received past the deadline.
ME: But if you haven't done anything yet with the entries, why is it a problem entering me in the meet?
MD: It isn't, but you are a day past the deadline, so I can't.
I did not attend the meet that year or the next. The MD returned my check. It was obvious that conforming to rules was more important than getting swimmers into the meet.
I vowed not to repeat this attitude in our meet. Of course there are a few entires that trickle in after the deadline. I just enter them, and hope that if there is a tee shirt order in a late entry, we have an extra shirt ordered. Sometimes, a few people will contact me to ask if it is too late to enter. I tell them no, but don't order a tee shirt and I get an entry received WITH payment before Friday when I do the seeding.
One year, I got a call from someone's mother pleading to let her son into the meet late. (CUBU swimmer, 18 y.o.) Sometimes I get overnight entries sent by Express Mail. Sometimes Santa (or the meet fairy) drops entries into my home mail box overnight (entries go to our team post office box.) I have also had entries personally delivered to my office during the day. In all, about five entires out of 150 arrive late. I can handle that.
I enter swimmers into the meet database the day their entries arrive. There is too much to do days before the meet without becoming a hermit monk frantically holding and then copying all entries into the database at once. We also need to keep a daily tab on the number of entires in our 500-free, since we limit the entires and update the count daily on our web site meet page.
Be real. Lose the attitude - it's easy to find one as the deadline approaches.

I was most fortunate to participate in the Londonderry, NH ASP® class Nov. 2013, which was awesome! I engaged all the skills you taught in preparing my own residence for the market. Your shared wisdom worked!! We spent 2 months moving extra household items and off season clothing, holidays stuff etc. into our new home before listing. The photography was awesome...4 great home tours on Saturday and a full price cash offer the next morning and closed in 20 days! That town averages 200+ days on the market so the Gods were with us! I must say I was a bit skeptic about staging bringing more money in offers and quickly. Our sales team toured the home before the marketing began and stressed to raise the price $60,000 more than I planned and they WERE RIGHT!!!
I just renewed my membership for 2 years and confident in adding ASP to my bag of skills for Seller Clients.
Thank you for your dedication and sharing your wealth of knowledge!!
Skip Gilman, ASP®, IAHSP®
Hi Sandra,
I just want to take a minute to thank you personally for all the guidance and information you shared in three short days. I have to be honest, I had been on the fence about taking the class since I had already taken a staging course and have been in the business for over a year, but I am beyond thrilled that I did! This course was exactly what I needed. I only wish I had taken it sooner. Not only did the course material really resonate, especially after starting the business, but your business sense and staging knowhow was the icing on the cake. So many of my questions were answered, which is something I`ve found difficult in owning your own business. Not having the ability to do a quick temperature check with a boss or partner. This class has already helped in my business. Giving me ways to make what I do even more valuable for my clients. Already I have altered some of my selling strategies to better educate clients and agents alike and I`m excited to make some other changes in the near future.
You were a fantastic teacher and I certainly hope to stay connected with you in the future!
Thanks again!
Kara Rowell, ASP®, IAHSP®
Good Morning Sandy!
I hope you had a restful night. As you told us would happen, my mind was spinning last night. I wanted to do so many things but my brain was exhausted!
I would like to let you know how grateful I am. All the information you shared with us is priceless! Not only the content from the ASP course but your expertise in the field.
I have some credentials in my bag: Industrial Designer, Feng Shui Practitioner, Professional Organizer, and Certified Interior Designer; but there was always a missing piece. I knew what was missing, but I did not know where to learn about it. That missing piece was learning about Home Staging, how to do the business, and how to effectively market myself. Now with my brand new credential, Accredited Staging Professional, and the information and knowledge I acquired these last three days, I feel that I am ready to conquer and succeed in my career!! I know I am going to be successful.
Thank you so much to you and Barb.
With all my heart,
Luz Vega, ASP®, IAHSP®
Hi Sandy,
I have attended many training courses over the years and I have to say that this ASP® course is one of the best ones I have ever taken. Sandy your teaching style is clear, direct and engaging for 3 full days straight. That is not an easy task by any means. Your energy and excitement for staging and Barb`s program is infectious. Sharing your real life experiences and some of the Do`s and Don`ts of the business with us are invaluable. I left this course with the knowledge and ALL of the tools I will need to make my own successful staging business a reality. Please thank Barb for creating and sharing her life`s work. It is one thing to develop a winning formula for success, but being willing to share it with others takes a very special person.
I hope to meet up with you again at one of the IAHSP® conventions.
Take care and thanks again,
Tina MacLennan, ASP®, IAHSP®
Just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much I enjoyed the staging class last week. As you know, I had only signed on for the first two days--the Realtor® certification. It became apparent to me that the third day would be extremely important as I continue to develop my business model. The more information the better when you`re figuring out how to get from start-up to I`m up and running.
The class was great. Tons of great information; formal, anecdotal and hands-on. The staging on the second day was very fun. I`ll admit that when I walked into the house my first thought was `this is bad!`. But the process was fantastic. I loved working with the team, incorporating as many of our ideas as we could. And the response from the homeowner at the `reveal` was priceless. It really made me want to stage for a living.
Great experience, great instructor, great content and great energy. Thanks so much for helping me make the third day happen.

Hello Barb,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I am Beverly Van Fleet and I live in the Atlanta Georgia area. I thoroughly enjoyed the webinar last week and it was fantastic. Although my head is spinning and so much needs to be done to get started, I am very excited and cannot wait to get my company up and running. I have been in the Interior Design industry for around 25 years. Both in the residential and commercial sector. I am expanding to the staging business and truly think I will like it much better than design. As I learned in the ASP® Course, staging is different from interior design and more fast paced. I like that.
I enjoyed hearing about you and your success and am glad I will be associated with your organization.
Beverly Van Fleet, ASP, IAHSP
When I started looking on the Internet to find a training program to become a Home Stager, I researched several. Once I checked out Stagedhomes.com there was no doubt in my mind that this was the one for me. That was over five years ago. As my Staging business grew over the years, I decided to get my ASPM and now am going through Certified ASP Trainer training. Who would have thought????

Dear Barb,
After our own house has been on the market I spent this past weekend Re-Staging my house based on what I learned in the ASP® class. We had 2 families come through our house and both made offers! I am very glad to have taken the ASP® course and I look forward to a very successful career in Home Staging.

I was blown away by your 3 Day ASP Course. It was remarkable. You really care and give 110 percent. I am very grateful to you for that. I can hardly wait for the CDs. With that I won`t have to try and make sense out of my 27 pages of notes.
So thank you very, very much.
Warm regards,
Carol Marcella
Hi Barb,
This was the second ASP class for me. I took the two day class in the classroom and was disappointed that I hadn`t taken the third day. My husband suggested that I call to see if I would be allowed to somehow take the third day during another class. I really didn`t want to travel to finish the course, so I was thrilled when I heard I could attend an entire webinar conducted by YOU! I wasn`t sure if the webinar could give me the level of detail I was hoping for.
You blew me away with your motivation and detailed explanations of each process. I am SOOO happy I took the class webinar/online with you. I felt it was much more productive than a classroom setting, and your ability to engage the group hour after hour over the computer was amazing.
While I have been in real estate only 6 months this will DEFINITELY help me move forward as I work on developing my business.
Thanks for the CD`s you are sending us as well! I thought multiple times during the sessions how nice it would have been to record the session to refer back to. That was an awesome surprise!
Thanks, and God bless!
Lisa Hitchen
Thanks so much for an inspiring and full packed three days on your outstanding ASP® Course Webinar. I really got more than I expected.
Your aspects to depersonalizing are just outstanding. Thanks so much for your very structured, fun , energizing education and sharing your abundance of experience so openly. I hope we will meet some day - maybe in the master education!
I love your energy and inspiration. Thank you so much!
Heidrun Dorner
Just wanted to thank you for an amazing class.
WOW!! I`m so thrilled that I attended.
I have been waiting about 2 years to finally be able to take your class and I have to tell you that I was able to attend your class because you incorporated the webinar education.
The class education was so much more than I had anticipated which was really wonderful.
Thanks again and I look forward to meeting you in person one day!
Kim Reit
Really, Barb, your passion comes through and I don`t know if you realize how special you are. The session was not only jam packed with INFORMATION, it was MOTIVATIONAL and INSPIRATIONAL as well. Thank you once again.
Thank you so much for the "congrats" about my Stagedhomes.com® feature page/SHC website. I have been on and off the staged homes website a million times tweaking and adding content to build my ASP® featured page up. I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you how much I truly enjoyed the ASP 3 day class. I had some "Ah ha" moments with much of the content. It has really helped me organize myself from a business perspective. Just like you, I had a background in interior design before my real estate career. I have always struggled with charging for my services. The creative part comes so easily but not the business side of it. I have found the take home review cds from day 3 a huge help. I just did my first power point presentation for my office at Coldwell Banker. It was a successful night with a lot of positive feedback. I have you to thank, as you so clearly take the process and break it down into manageable pieces. Your class and approach gave me the confidence to do it.
Thank you again for contacting me. It was a honor to hear from you....you put a smile on my face :).

"I really have a lot to share with the ASP`s/ASPM`s® about what has happened in the past year ever since I took your ASPM Course on Whidbey Island. Barb- it has been life changing for the positive... it has been so incredibly awesome- I have seen a lot of growth in my business, in both its structures and financially. I have personally grown so much in the past year... it was like taking your Master`s course was this diamond encrusted gold key that really helped provide me the focus I needed. I can share about how at year 6 I felt "stagnant" and seemed to get caught up in distraction. Since our Master`s course and refocusing, I have restructured my entire business and have seen the beginning of growth and stability. I am delivering solid Staging`s with very good results."

Teresa has been very busy implementing your techniques and teachings into our business through new and existing listings. Our clients have been amazed...
I highly recommend and endorse the Barb Schwarz class for ASP®, Accredited Staging Professionals®. I found myself in class for clock hours with my business partner and wife, Teresa. Teresa was more interested in obtaining the Staging skills and knowledge. However, I quickly realized how essential and important Staging is for our business. After taking classes for 15 years and enjoying the blessings and good fortune of a successful productive business, this is one of the best courses I have taken to date. Besides the great staging knowledge, we learned great new listing tools, skills, and dialog. This is truly a class for the new and well seasoned Realtor. Thank you Barb!
All the best,

Thank you for an incredible three days. I have not felt this inspired and excited in quite awhile. After losing my position in April due to downsizing, I had been trying to figure out what`s next. Of course, everyone kept advising me to follow my passion, which is great advise, except inside I did not believe I would be taken seriously or could generate revenue doing the things I "truly" enjoyed doing. You and the invaluable information you provided during the 3-day ASP webinar course changed all that. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction and changing my life.

The three day intensive Webinar was time and money wisely invested! I learned so much from you and even though we were not visually connected- I certainly felt and fed off of your enthusiasm and love for Staging! The multitude of ideas on how to market yourself and your product were extremely helpful! Just knowing that there`s a support system in place whenever I need it- that`s tremendous! The Staging University and Media center - my gosh! The continuing education and support is already in place! Thank you so much!
Susie Cleek, ASP®, IAHSP®
I can`t thank you enough for sharing your expertise on Home Staging with me for three full days during the Webinar.
You are the queen of "Creative Genius". I not only benefited from your command of the home staging process,(creativley and business-wise) but also by the welcome reminder of the importance of giving "superior customer service" and being people oriented.
Many thanks for a fabulous experience. I really enjoyed getting to know you.
Until the next time.

I recently ASP® Staged a three bedroom colonial in Bethany, CT that was 35 years old and had never been updated. We Staged every room in the home (9) and it sold in 15 days and at the full asking price. The Realtor®, Rich Walker, Century 21, was so impressed with the staging that he added $20,000 to the price he had in mind and they received the full asking price! My client, Barbara, cried when she got the good news. I love ASP® Staging stories.

My company, Stylish Staging LLC, helped a couple in Lawrence, Kansas ASP® Stage® and prepare their house for sale by changing out light fixtures, picking out paint colors for walls and front door, shopping for bed linens, as well as adding décor, art work and ASP® Staging. The house had two showings the first day on the market. From those two showings the couple was presented with two offers and accepted the offer that was above the asking price.

I recently started ASP® Staging with a Realtor® from Keller Williams Realty. They will not list a house until it`s been ASP® Staged! Good news for me. After being Staged one listing sold in 3 weeks on the market. A Realtor® from a different agency had the listing previous for a year! The previous Realtor® came through during the open house and asked, "How did you get the homeowners to make all the changes? We made recommendations but they wouldn`t listen." Well, they were ready to listen and become educated in the process. They have 12 more listings to be Staged. I`m confident and very excited for similar results. ASP® Home Staging works!

I Wanted to pass along a story about a home I listed on April 12, 2011 in Bridle Trails neighborhood of Kirkland, WA. I ran all the comps, sellers settled on a listing price, we hired Rebecca Henderson, ASPM®, IAHSP®, from Alabaster Staging to stage home since it was vacant. Had it sparkling clean. Night before we were to list home we walked through after Rebecca was done staging and I said, "we need to up the list price". The home was PERFECT. I held a broker open the very next day and had an offer by 6:30 that evening. Home is closing today:-)

Having another great day... first appointment of the day signed all paperwork and handed me down payment as I walked out the door.... and the Realtor told me she would never stage!

Whew, what a week we had during our ASPM® course. I was an ASP® that had not started my business and came with the desire of furthering my education for staging. My husband is a career military man and when he retires I plan to start my business. The ASPM® course was so good that I came home and have thoughts of starting it early and then when we move just move my business. Still thinking that decision over. The class was a full week as promised! I feel fully equipped to start my business. The class gives confidence in many areas; public speaking, cold calls, bids, consultations and of course gives you a team to lean on should you have any questions and need to call for help/thoughts/suggestions. The education you receive from Barb that`s not in the training manual was priceless. Our class was honored to get constructive suggestions from Barb. This education is priceless.
Yes, we had many hours in class and working on homework, hours well spent toward our businesses. We had nine staying in one home and would I highly recommend this to others. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had time to work on homework together. The house mates had opportunity to bond even more by spending 24 hours a day together. We had a kitchen to have that midnight snack to help you make it thru the late hours of homework.
The Club in the Country was a wonderful place to hold class. The food was wonderful and the staff was very friendly.
I would agree that it is a life changing experience. I would consider myself a fairly positive person, but I would have to agree Barb takes it to whole new level and I returned a better person by just knowing her. I am blessed to have the opportunity to not only meet Barb, but 13 others that are now part of my family.

Good Morning to ALL of my new ASPM® Family! I can`t stop thinking about the amazing time we spent together learning, laughing and rubbing our sleepy eyes! :)
Barb - thank you for a wonderful week. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us, and for providing the training manuals that are filled with immeasurable information to help our success in the field. I am filled with emotions as I am excited about all the possibilities as well as the many tasks I have to accomplish to get my new business off to the right start.
Thank you to all of my classmates who shared helpful hints from your staging experiences. I look forward to knowing that if I am `stuck` for a creative idea, or need help in any way ... you are all just an email or phone call away!
AWESOME!!! Can life get any better!
Romy Godwin
Remember when you first took your first ASP® training class and were overwhelmed by the amount of information you were exposed to, you could not believe how much you learned about Staging? Well, after completing the ASPM® class I experienced all these feelings again. I have been Staging for 3 years and know that this class will move my business to the next level and on to great things. This class was just the energizer I needed, which may sound funny as sleep was the only thing that was not plentiful during this week. I came home excited to get started on my list of things to do for my business. I couldn`t wait to get started. Investing a week with Barb and my classmates has changed me in so many ways I can`t begin to describe to you. I think back with smiles, good feelings while remembering everything that took place the week I became an ASPM®. I am excited to share with my chapter and encourage everyone new or seasoned Stagers to complete this class. I would sincerely recommend the investment in this class as a must-do for anyone truly serious about Staging as a Career.

Thank YOU!!! Thank you for offering such an amazing course. I am so happy that I took the ASPM® course for what I have learned is life changing for me. I thank you for everything you taught. I thank you for your beautiful words, for they reflect the beauty that you are and what is inside. You inspire me in so many ways, as a business woman, as a woman, and as a human being. Thank you for all the gifts and treats and for the graduation celebration. I will cherish the memories of our week together. Thank you.

Thank you again for all that you shared and your gracious wisdom! I truly look up to you - I can still see the joy in your eyes as you mentored all of us. I am so very grateful for the entire week (and maybe even the lack of sleep :-)
I hope to see you again soon - I miss you already!
Mary Piekarski, ASPM®, ASP®, IAHSP®
What a privilege it was for me to get to meet you and to share this week with you. As I said in my other e-mail I cherish the "life lessons" more than any business lesson, although I do appreciate them, you are truly and inspiration, someone who walks the talk, and that is rare.
You have reminded me of things that I knew but had forgotten to practice everyday. I thank You for the reminder.
I also thank you for having this class on the island. I think that it would not have been as "spiritual" for me if it was in a more business conventional setting. It was worth the flight hours.
Sending you loving light always,

Hello Barb!
I just had to tell you...
I was called to Stage® this home that has been on the market for 2 months. I ASP® Staged this house on Thursday. I just found out from a REALTOR® that the house went under contract on Friday.
One day after Staging! I`m blown away!! I`ve read multiple stories on your books about success stories like this but I can`t believe it happened to me - How great is that?
The funny thing is that this property was my first paid Staging Project!! The REALTOR® that showed it made a point to mention that it was my ASP® Staging that got it sold. STAGING TRULY WORKS!!

I have been to the ASPM course twice. Worth 10 times the cost. If you want to take your Staging business to the next level you won`t want to miss this! Five 12 hour days of Barb Schwarz, the inventor of Home Staging, combined with the other stagers that attend is priceless. I am still really close friends with many, many of the ASPM`s and call on them regularly for advise and ideas.
Do you want to be the "Best of the Best"?

Good Morning Barb,
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you. As you probably remember I work a lot with investors and members of the Professional Association of Real Estate Investors. Recently one of the agents that I have been talking to took your ASP® for Realtors class. When she finished she was very excited about working with an ASPM® and called me the next day. I am now doing two consultations for her clients and putting together a staging proposal for her.
Thanks for continuing to be an inspiration in our field.
Happy Holidays,

Thank you over and over again.!!!

I just had to write you to tell you how much I appreciate what you do for ASPs!
I recently started working with a new Realtor that I met through a local Realtor's organization. He had told me he was attending NARdiGras last weekend, and I told him to make sure to see you speak! Just before he left for the trip, I sent him a link that you had sent to all of us ASPs about your speaking engagement in New Orleans. So I sent him a message with the link, and said that I hope he had a chance to see you.
Well, I just got back from a meeting with him for a new listing for which I am doing a staging bid. When I walked in the home, he was standing there with a flyer about your presentation in his hand and said, "This was GREAT! WOW!" He was totally blown away by your seminar and SO impressed with you and Staged Homes! He told me how you suggested that the ASP stager should go along on listing presentations with the Realtor, and that is just what he wants me to do! He has 4 new listing presentations coming up and I am meeting him and his clients tomorrow for the first one!
You are a Gem, Barb!
Thank you!
Best Regards,

Your teachings are always right on the mark. I think without having had the training we had from you, all kinds of ethical dilemmas would be a lot more difficult to deal with. ASP® Ethics make a difference. Your training on ethical standards is so important. During a walk-through of a beautiful $1.9 M house with a potential new client, the owner showed me the basement and said she`d like me to furnish it to look like the rest of the house -- with Persian carpets and fine furniture. I told her I could not do it, that it would be against my Professional Ethics and Policies. She looked at me amazed.
"What would be unethical about furnishing a basement?" she asked. I told her: The house was in a known flood plain. Furnishing it with fine items as she suggested would be saying to the potential buyer, "This house is dry."She smiled and said, "Thank you. I have a lot of respect for you. When we bought the house, the owners had it furnished the way I wanted you to do it, and naturally we thought we could have our good furniture and carpets down here too. We did -- and we lost everything in the first flood. "I told her I would accept the job only if I could Stage the basement the way I felt was appropriate -- as a children`s play area with colorful rubber mats and plastic toys and furniture."
I got the job. Staged it as I described. The house sold in two weeks! Thanks, Barb, for giving me the training and courage to stand up for what was right.

In our ASP® Course I especially admire the emphasis you place on client relations and communication.

Dear Barb,
Thank you so much for all the wonderful things you are doing for us. I am enjoying a huge increase in business this year and I owe it all to you. The ball started rolling with the first client of the season finding me by going to StagedHomes.com. The REALTOR® was so impressed with our professional ASP® accreditation. She said meeting me after meeting two other Stagers sealed the deal. The others were: one a decorator and the other a non-ASP stager and she said that they certainly did not meet her needs to Stage® and sell the property.
You have given us the vehicle to make big, successful businesses. Thank you for making the difference for me as I became a Master. The best week of my life in business-all of them over 30 years.
Love and hugs! Deb

I just want to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to tell you about my experience with taking one of your classes.
I took the Real Estate Agent Class in Auburn MA, on April 6th & 7th. I have to tell you, before taking this class my thoughts were: "Take the class, obtain the certification and get nothing more." I based all of this on the fact that I have been staging houses for almost 10 years, personally and professionally. Well, I was WRONG!
The class far, the BEST class I have ever taken in my life!!!! That class taught me so much that I felt the need to share my joy and amazement. I have told so many colleagues about this class and that if it is offered again, the must take it.
You truly have one fantastic class and trust me, the whole class felt this way.
Thanks so much,

I wanted to let you know that I got the project on the 7000 sq ft house. I bid what I felt was a fair price and allotted four days for completion. The husband told me he was impressed by my presentation and others he dealt with in business should learn from this. A great presentation that followed your teaching methods helped seal the deal. This is surely a testimony to your training program.
Thanks for all your help. You are a blessing.

It was just about 3 years ago when I took the ASP® Staging Course. I remember the words you said to me Jane Ann, as my teacher, that I would have a successful Staging company and I remember thinking no I am not going to pursue this business. I find my self telling this story over and over again. Well today I am the owner of Setting The Space, New England`s Largest Staging Company. I own 2 warehouses of Staging furniture, we have 10 people on our staff and Stage® daily.
I have been featured on television , radio , newspapers, and magazines. Our Staging's are sought after by the most prestigious realtors and developers here in Massachusetts. We have been flown out of state to ASP® Stage® properties. The phone never stops ringing. It has been non stop for these "short" three years of being in business. I promote ASP where ever I go and sing the praises of Barb`s wisdom and genious in creating Staged Homes.
Lots of Love,

I love being an ASP and am constantly amazed at all you do for us. Our IAHSP Chapter of ASP`s in Columbus, OH really do understand the meaning of the unity that you bring and what is brought to us by being part of the group. Our meeting on Monday we had 19 member attending of the 21 stagers in our area, this is normal. Each time someone takes the course we contact them and invite them to the meetings and get them plugged in ASAP. We also do our best to get them out on assignment as soon as we can and include them in the group. I feel our mentorship and hand holding program is embraced by everyone and we truly do what we can to help each other. Today I bounced out of bed to get ready for my Staging to Live® project. I have joined up with another ASP and together we are gaining ground in our businesses. We asked the two newest ASP`s to join us for the day. We are excited to have them there. Personally I love being able to share what I have learned. Tomorrow, I am meeting with another ASP as she has not been doing as successful as she had hoped. I am going to invest some time with her going over her marketing plan. I also mentor and talk with 3 other ASP`s around the states that I have met as convention, on a course or by referring an assignment to. Working with newer ASP`s helps me refocus my plan of action, forces me to change things and motivates me to be the best that I can be.
Thanks for EVERYTHING you do for us.
I will always be an ASP there is no doubt in my mind.
All the best to you.

Dear Barb:
Thank You.....
I am sitting at the airport analyzing my week at the ASPM Course. I got off the plane a week ago prepared to be told what I was doing wrong and
how I should fix it. I was so wrong. Your grace, eloquence and care guided me thru a course that was simply awe inspiring. I have become
part of an elite sorority of driven, smart, kind and innovative women.
I intend to shine like the star you say I am. I am blessed to have been in your presence. You have taught me so much in a short span of time and
I know that going forward I will be a powerful, dynamic presence and I thank you for the assurance that who I am is who God meant me to be -
I promise to set New Jersey on fire for ASPM Staging!
With Love, Admiration & Respect -

It was such a joy to be with you again, I learned so much! I am so proud to be a ASPM. I believe that there is power in a name and the ASPM title has truly empowered me. This past week was one of the most inspiring and I believe life changing weeks of my life! I am so thankfully that the United States Military provided me the opportunity to take the ASPM course. Like you I miss you and the other wonderful ladies so much! I feel that we created a life long bond with one another! I look forward to all that the future has in store for myself and my business!
I would like to especially thank you for all of the words of encouragement they mean more than you know! I also look forward to the day that we all see you again! You are simply the best! Thanks again for all that you do for ASP`s, ASPM`s and IAHSP! I will be sure to make you proud of me and the way that I represent the ASPM designation! I will always uphold the integrity and the ethics of StagedHomes.com in my business! We are truly the best of the best!
I wish all of the ladies who attended the ASPM course in Atlanta this past week much success in their business and all that they do!
I will sign off by saying "I LOVE THIS BUSINESS!!!!"

"In the ASPM course, not only did I learn new material, but it gave me the time I needed to focus attention "on" my business, rather than working "in" it. I would recommend the ASPM course; not only for its content, but also for the marketing opportunities it provides us all."
~~Sandy Donogh, ASPM, CRTS

I wanted to mention to you too that I`ve made friends with Steve Meade who is the President & CEO of Ken Meade Realty. They`re very big here in the Sun Cities and he knows you. He met you in the 80`s and took your REALTOR® course then. He invited me to give a presentation to 100 of his agents and we will be working together to help educate them about ASP Staging and how to use it. He has over 350 agents in total!

Wild About Staging In
Surprise, AZ
11 of the recent homes I staged have gone under contract in an average of 15 days vs. the regional average of 120 days. The economy is not all doom and gloom. Houses are selling even in this market!
Quite honestly the ASP designation really sets me and my company apart from other companies in the area. Having the corporate power of stagedhomes.com behind me and the connections, services, marketing materials etc.. that I can provide as a result of my relationship really sets me above the rest. Case in point, my PowerPoint presentation –adapted from the pp presentation provided online is so professional and really gives me credibility. I came from the corporate world having been a design center manager for Ryland Homes as well as 13 years as an international sales manager. I knew if I was going to make this work and be successful that I needed the backing of the biggest and best, Stagedhomes.com, behind me.
Thanks again for everything.
PS I just wanted to share with you some exciting news. I took the ASP 3 day stager course end of September 2007 and had my first customer December 2007. This month I was just named "Baltimore's Best" Home Stager by Baltimore Magazine (www.baltimoremag.com) Less than 2 years after providing ASP Staging services my company was chosen as the "Best of Baltimore".

HI Barb,
I Just sent my second referral to an out of state ASP REALTOR in 2 months.
That will more than pay for their yearly dues!!!! The Stagedhomes.com directory works!

I just wanted to share with you my latest success story. I ASP® Staged a new construction spec home for a builder that I have done several homes (5 to date). It was a large and for our area higher end home that had lots of showings but just not the right buyer until 2 weeks ago. The buyer not only wanted the house.... he wanted my entire staging inventory in the house! EVERYTHING!
I was conflicted because it was mostly my favorite things from my inventory, but I put a price on it. In the end it came to the point that the furniture sold the house. The builder was thankful for my co-operation and now I have a nice buffer in my checking account. As far as inventory goes, it`s all about the hunt, right?!!!
In reading over the Stagedhomes.com Blog today I saw that one of your pieces of advice was to offer to Stage a realty office for free. I have an app`t next week to do that very thing. I have been asked to offer advice on colors, furniture and accessories. I have received several Staging projects from this office so I am happy to give something back.
In this down market I am being creative in keeping my name and face in front of Realtors® and builders. I have contracted to do consultations for one agency as a part of their listing package. One builder I have put together color packages for him to use in his spec houses as well as meeting with his clients to help them pick colors for carpet, paint, counter tops, etc. Other builders are considering this as well.
Every project is a blessing and a chance to help others. People stop me all the time to say they have seen my car (with my car magnets business name and #) around town and want to talk about Staging. I have even gotten calls while in the car when someone saw me and called right then.
Please continue to keep us motivated and positive with your enthusiasm for ASP® Staging.
Thank you,

The Benefits of ASP® Staging! Wow! I ASP Staged 2 vacant houses that had been on the market for 4 & 5 months respectively and both got offers in one week that went to closing. Results speak for themselves!

I have been so "productive" with my business that I am barely sleeping. Last week I averaged 2 to 4 hours each night. I simply had to get some sleep last night and start out refreshed today. I am investing my weekend on new marketing.
I have just been keeping up our ASPM Staging product/service with my high standards of excellence (even though the "investment" is higher) and it is paying off. I am becoming known as the higher priced stager who does the best job and gets results. I am fine with that.
One Associate Broker sent out an email blast to the other 3000 REALTORS® in his franchise singing our praises and I have got so much exposure from that. Their CEO even sent him an email asking if I had the presentation skills to speak to their group of 3000 at their convention. I have not been approached formally yet but I am hopeful.
Another REALTOR® I have teamed with this year is having a cruise on the Potomac Rive to feature me! I am so honored. This really is an example of how Staging is changing the real estate market. This REALTOR® is wooing me verses me wooing him. What a welcome relief. He has sold over 50 houses this year alone already too. I can't tell you how excited I am. It would be so great if you and Kirk were in town and could attend.
I think about you so often. I thank God for you and the vision you shared with us. Your impact is exponential and Your ideas change people's lives.
Yeah……I did just get asked to speak at that convention with 3000 REALTORS®! The CEO said that I could have a free tradeshow booth ($1500 normally) in lieu of a speaking fee. I get a whole hour to educate the REALTORS®. I talked all about you and gave your books out as presents and 5 of them said that they will attend the Baltimore class in December and become ASP's. There are no ASP's in their area so this is really great! It is sort of a rural area and they needed to see how staging can help them too. There are certain universal truths about ASP Staging that extend to every market as you know!
Barb, this is such a breakthrough for all of us. REALTORS® wooing stagers and them seeing the true reciprocal relationship of teaming with us instead of just seeing us as vendors. This trend must please you so much! I know this is what you have envisioned for all of us.
Thanks for all you have done and all that you continue to do for all of us as ASP's and ASPM's!

Dear Barb,
We have Staged over 100 homes through August of this year. We have worked very hard at networking, building relationships and keeping our name and "ASP® Staging" out in front of the real estate industry. We market all the time and do everything humanly possible to meet everyone`s expectations. We are busy, much busier than we anticipated. Most recently an agent said because of the high rate of foreclosures in this area it is difficult to find "a nice home", she has buyers but can`t find properties to sell them-this is where we come in! We also offer "ASP Staging to Live®" services for those wanting to stay their homes until the market rebounds. If we find a need that fits within our abilities we expand our service level to fit that need. We are constantly looking for new and better ways to serve our customers and the housing/real estate industry!
Thank you,
Carole Morgan ASP

ASP Staging is not decorating. It is a part of the Real Estate industry and is becoming the standard marketing tool that ASP REALTORS® and other REALTORS® use to set their properties apart from the normal ones out there. As I have been working in this industry, I have seen the difference in the quality and standards of those who are not trained at all or not trained as ASP REALTORS® or ASP Stagers and it is huge.
Trish Kim, ASPM
Dearest Barb,
I got an email and a call from a client that lives in Switzerland and has a house here in Montgomery county. They are meeting me on July 27 th to Stage it. It is a vacant. I got another call from a couple in New Jersey. Same thing, they want to have me stage a condo here they have and it has been rented. Our market is doing well in their price range and they want to sell now. They tell me they found me on the internet and like what they see. I am proud of my work and accomplishments. I owe it all to you. You have given me confidence and drive and I love you for that.

Jeanne visited my home four days after I decided to sell it out of the blue. I wasn`t planning on moving for two years but the house I am buying came up for sale and it is `me`! Jeanne has a phenomenal eye. She saw through my 28 years of clutter and her vision for transforming my house for `sale ready` was nothing short of miraculous. Jeanne staged it in one day and we had an offer 11 days later!! We close and move next week, six weeks after it being placed on the market! It is nothing short of amazing how she can take your things, add a few others and you then have a home you never knew could look like those in a magazine!! I have learned that staging is not just for selling. I want her to come to my new house and help me stage that, too! Best, Debbie

I want to Thank You so much for a Wonderful experience at your Staged Homes Workshop this past Monday and Tuesday in Palm Desert. You are an Awesome Teacher. Many of your Words of Wisdom are popping into my head all the time and even have more meaning now than when I first heard them. It was truly a different type of Course than I`ve experienced before and one that will always stick with me. I look forward to moving forward with my ASP!
Thanks Again.
Angela Galioto
I have been back 2 weeks now and can't believe the difference that the course has made for me in the way I market my business and interact with clients and REALTORS®. I truly appreciate all you taught us at the class and am so glad I went.
I made a presentation to a real estate office just a few days after I returned and got 2 projects so far from the presentation. I appreciate all the feedback and suggestions they helped immensely.
I made great friends at the course and have been in touch with some of the ladies. I have never been part of a business that is so generous in nature. You are a phenomenal example to us all.
Thanks so much,
Teresa Rojek, ASPM
Amazing Staging! OH – it's a great – TRUE – story!!
The Staging business never ceases to amaze me! The positive results of Staging Homes for Sale still Changes Lives – For the Better!
A property, of mine, that had been Staged and on the market for 10 months (over priced) was finally reduced to reflect current market values. It sold within two weeks! I knew this! What I did not know until I spoke to the REALTOR® yesterday was that the unit sold "due to the Staging", to quote the REALTOR®. I also knew it did not have the lowest listing price in the complex and it did not have features that the other comps did. The Buyers loved it & made the offer due to the Staging!
The news to me yesterday was that the buyers offered MORE THAN the listing price!! I am delighted to testify that over asking price offers still take place, "in this market!!" I am happy for the sellers as they had been carrying two mortgage payments for almost a year! I LOVE THIS BUSINESS!! I cannot wait to see what good things come next!!
PS The foot note is that I was hired by the homeowner, it sold under the second REALTOR® – whom I have NEVER met AND has given me two great jobs within the last two weeks because of the power of Home Staging!! Isn't that cool?
Thank you for many things. Thank you for being you & creating Staging - it is in my being to be a Stager! The Master`s course is the best thing I have done in years.

Hi Barb!
I had to give you a little update on my business development since completing my ASP!
What I`m finding out (which I`m sure you already KNOW), is that many people, who consider themselves "Professional Stagers", actually are NOT! Additionally, unfortunately, they are not always leaving a good impression with their work!!!
I`ve met with a few REALTORS® to introduce ASP Staging....needless to say, they were pleasantly surprised to learn that professional home Staging does not cause thousands, thousands and thousands of dollars.....is affordable and has options (like offering consultations as well!) I`ve thought of you sharing about the "wannabe" Stagers. They make things hard!!!
Also, presenting the statistics that are available on the University, the before and after photos, and discussing the "extra`s" were really impressive to the REALTORS®! (like offering a reception following the Staging, checklist for the homeowners to prepare before showing / open houses, ways to help the REALTORS®, and so much more!) It`s so funny, because I have used the Barb phrase, "...with your kind permission...." You are right! People are so blown away by the measure of kindness in that phrase, they automatically say, "yes!"
I met with a REALTOR® yesterday and he was sharing how he really respected Staging, however, with the economic crunch we are all experiencing, people just don`t want to pay for it. I listened, let him share, and then he said this , "wow, I`ve had price reductions in the 10 - 20,000`s on my properties - it`s killing me!" With that, I said "Wow, considering the investment (not cost...:) of home Staging, it`s really just a fraction of a reduction, isn`t it???" The REALTOR®`s eyes became wide....and he said "wow, you are right!". :) He is referring ALL of his listings to me for Staging! Hurray!
I thought it would bless you to hear testimony of ASP work! YOU are right - using the methods you taught, and those I am reading through and studying - it just works. You rock Barb!!! By the way, I got my FIRST consult request today!!!! Yay!!!
Stephanie Henderson, ASP
You truly amaze me. The week of ASPM training exceeded my expectations.
I want to thank-you for helping us grow our businesses and for the strong support network you have created.
Jenny Chung, ASPM®
I began using it with my Senior Move Management Business. I wheel in with that, and my very sturdy, collapsible, handled folding table from Home Depot (thanks to all of the big store marketing ideas from class), a smile and my professionalism, and my clients are immediately put at ease. They know I am organized and ready to begin. That case is the magic wand!
Thanks so much for your great class. It was wonderful for the skills it taught for Staging, but I do believe that the stellar strength, even beyond the career specific skills, are the business, organizational, and life skills. I found your team approach, with the video of Barbara speaking and your presentations, to be the perfect pairing. The soul and ethics at the center of your business were immediately obvious.
As business women and men who are entering into people's homes and their private domains, it is vitally important that every aspect of our companies exude these qualities. There is no mistaking the strong moral center to all that you all do – as well as the passionate belief in the ability and goodness of all of the lives that you touch.
Thank you, for running a class where members felt valued, their questions respected, and our fears of jumping into the business world calmed. So many people said, "I wished I had taken this class as I was getting started." Lucky me, I did! Thank you for all of the great skills you so seamlessly taught us, for the materials that you gave us and inspired us to use with such specific, reassuring directions, and for the knowledge that as ASP's and members of IAHSP, we always have a place to turn for camaraderie and guidance.
Almost forgot, even with my fledgling web presence ( that I am diligently working on between clients and having just gotten my real estate license and SRES), I received a call from the ASP site from a daughter coming in from out of town to try to help her mother get her house sold. One quick phone call, with a plea to come help her. Wow!
Thanks so much for checking back with me.
Most sincerely,
Susan Devaney, ASP

"I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to collaborate with Sherwin Williams. It has really added an extra value to my Staging service along with saving my clients money! My Staged 4 Living client just saved $384.67.
Also, agents are more apt to call me when they FIRST get the listing before their clients start preparing their home for sale as they should! Thank you for everything!
I can`t wait to find out what you will be offering us next!

"The training exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful that I found StagedHomes.com. The ongoing resources and support available to ASPs through StagedHomes.com is even more valuable."
- Megan Ossinger, ASP, IAHSP
Barb –
I recently attended an ASP Training Course in Portland, Oregon and wanted to write to you and thank you for creating such an amazing industry! The training exceeded my expectations and I am so grateful that I found StagedHomes.com. In one of your videos that we watched in class you said something like "you are in the right place at the right time" and I wholeheartedly believe that is true. The training was amazing, and the ongoing resources and support available to ASPs through StagedHomes.com is even more valuable. Thank you so much for everything.
My other reason for writing is to tell you something that I am certain that you are already well aware of, but I wanted to share anyway, and that is what an absolute gem you have in Jennie Norris. I was lucky enough to have her as the Trainer of the class I attended and was so impressed with her knowledge and passion about the Staging industry and StagedHomes.com. My mother earned her ASP accreditation last August and had extremely positive things to say about Jennie, which I completely understood the minute I met Jennie. She is a fantastic teacher and, even more importantly, a really wonderful person. She clearly believes in and commits herself to the mission vision of StagedHomes.com. I am sure all of the StagedHomes Trainers are wonderful, but I wanted to let you know what a truly exceptional job Jennie does.
Thanks again and I look forward to your next coaching call – the last one was extremely helpful!
-Megan Ossinger, ASP, IAHSP
"Thanks for the heads up on (new features in the ASP Directory)! I actually hadn`t checked it in the last couple weeks, but that is awesome news! I do know that my last 4 calls were all Stagedhomes.com leads, so people are looking!"Thanks again for all your hard work!
Pamela Cooke, ASP
"I feel that taking the ASPM course has been one of the best decisions I made from a professional standpoint. The Master's course has provided that cutting edge training that I believe propelled me into a successful business. I would highly recommend the ASPM course and designation for anyone serious about having a full-time Staging career. It is a daily reminder to "Master your Dreams".
Mary DeBella, ASPM
"I just had to tell you thank you for creating such a wonderful, full-service ASP Stager course!
You have given me so much information and so manyresources that it`s almost like `follow the dots` to get your business up and running. You have done an absolutely wonderful job of putting this altogether and available to all who train withyou and become an ASP Stager or Realtor. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and know-how! I have been looking for a business like this for a long, long time. I can`t tell you how happy I am to have discovered you through your Staging book, which led me toStagedhomes.com I`ll finally be able to do something I love to do and get paid for it. Thanks Barb, you`re the best!
Thanks for giving us so much information and know-how to put together a business."
- Ruth Bona
Barb,You continue to inspire and lead a new generation of Home Staging Professionals. You always have a kind word to say and such a positive spirit. It is contagious.You are building a legacy and you should be so proud of all YOUR accomplishments in the world of Home Staging and beyond. It really is about so much more than just getting a house ready for sale. It`s touching people`s lives daily in ways we don`t always see at first. It is an honor to be invited into another`s home.I share your dream and your mission and I plan on seeing that staging does become an industry standard for every real estate transaction, even if takes one house at a time!God bless you!
- Karen Otto, ASP, IAHSP,DIRCHome Star StagingReal Estate Staging & Consulting
"Here it is five months since the ASPM Course on Whidby Island. What a week it was. One of the biggest ways my business has benefitted from the course is I have increased my furniture rental fees. After itemizing all the inventory going into a house and adding it all up as one of our assignments it really helped me to see how I was undercharging for my furniture and accessories rentals.
Furthermore, the time spendt with other ASPM`s and talking about their businesses and how they run them has helped me to streamline a few processes of my own. Networking with the other ASPM`s has brought me a referral.
The class with Barb was phenomenal. I truly feel that any time spent with her is a great investment in yourself and your business. She really showed us how we were leaving money on the table by not presenting our consultations and proposals in person.
Thr taped Realtor Office Presentation helped me to refine my presentation. Watching the others presentations gave me new ideas for mine in the future. If you have not been to the Master`s Course you are missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. I have been twice and can not wait to go again. Friendships that last a lifetime, great food, incredible networking. So much information.... Do you want to be the Best of the Best??"

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Department Store Chain Fired 61-Year-Old Area Sales Manager at Cary Store Because of Her Age, Federal Agency Charges
CHARLOTTE , N.C. – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced it has filed an age discrimination lawsuit against department store chain operator Dillard's, Inc. The suit alleges that Dillard's discriminated against Virginia Keene when it discharged her from the position of area sales manager at its store in Cary, N.C., because of her age, 61, in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA).
According to the EEOC's complaint, Dillard's terminated Keene and replaced her with a 24-year-old employee who only had four months of experience as an area sales manager. Keene, on the other hand, had successfully worked as an area sales manager for over four years. At the time of her termination, Keene ranked second out of six area sales managers at the Cary store in terms of sales, the EEOC said. Keene had also received positive reviews in her two most recent performance appraisals and had twice been recommended for promotion. Throughout the course of her employment with Dillard's, Keene's managers made repeated references to her age, telling her she was "too old" for a sales job and that it might be time for her to "let the younger [managers] take over."
The EEOC filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Western Division (EEOC v. Dillard's, Inc., Civil Action No. 5:10-cv-00398), after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement out of court. In its complaint, the EEOC seeks back pay, liquidated damages, reinstatement and/or front pay for Keene, as well as injunctive relief.
"There is no excuse for firing an employee because of her age," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "Not only is this kind of practice unfair and counterproductive, it is illegal. The EEOC is committed to using all available means, including litigation, to combat age discrimination."
The EEOC enforces the nation's laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. More information about the EEOC is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov.
