This is a great visual reminder that every accomplished or successful person had to invest a lot of effort, work, and many other things until they achieved their goals.

Good morning all! For those members that don't follow Facebook I would like to share an image that I posted this morning. As small crafters we do lots of work behind the scenes, often working constantly. Most of the time it is for very little gain. This can get you down, cause negative feelings. But as with lots of things time invested is well worth it and the rewards will come eventually. So keep positive, if you get knocked down, get straight back up again. Let your glass remain half full!

To view out full range of canvases, please visit our website: www.mycanvases.co.uk People only see the end goal, the glory, the monumental win. But time and time again, it’s been proven that persistence, dedication, commitment, sacrifice, failure, and disappointments are some of the real factors that contribute to the final win we see. Often in life and business, things are not what they seem — the messy middle is what really creates true success. Just like an iceberg, success has a deep side we rarely see. The unseen hours, necessary failures, setbacks, crises of confidence, the loneliness, the late nights and early mornings; and, all the wobbling that comes before the walking — much less running, are what builds success. • HQ print on Canvas 280gr/m2 • HQ Ink • Mirrored edges so you don’t lose any of your image, but still wraps around the support frames • Stretched on a 3.8cm stretcher bars wooden frame.

People are like icebergs, there's much to it than the eyes sees. There are lots of successful people that we know of, that has made it to the limelight, but the ones who have neglected to develop strong character rarely stay there long. Because people cannot climb beyond the limitations of their character. No one can expect to succeed without strong character below the surface to protect his talent and sustain him during difficult times. Character holds us steady, no matter how rough the storm becomes. The choice to develop a strong character may not be the most important one to make the most of your life/career. But it is certainly the most important to make sure you don't make the least of your life/career. The impact of character cannot be underestimated by anyone. Roger Benson asserted that "A character standard is far more important than even a gold standard". The success of all economic systems is still dependent upon both righteous leaders and righteous people. Character creates a foundation upon which the structure of your life and carrier can build. If there are cracks in that foundation, you cannot build much, but only a little. That's the reason why you must first develop within before you can achieve much without. But once you build strong character, it does more than provide a platform for your personal success and the maximization of your entire life. It also impact others and allows you build with them. It does that through what it communicates to people. START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE is a must read for all! ! I have observed that the people with the weakest character tend to place the blame on their circumstances. They often claim that poor upbringing, financial difficulties, the unkindness of others, or other circumstances have made them victims. The fact remains that we must face many things in life outside our control. But while your circumstances are beyond your control, your character is not. Your character is always your choice, developing your character is your sole responsibility, therefore take control of it.. Drop your comments let's us know what you think about developing strong character.. This is the gist with ZOEY..

The Staging Iceberg by Jennie Norris, ASPM, IAHSP-Premier, SRS, BTS, REO Owner, Sensational Home Staging Denver Region's Premier Home Staging Resource An iceberg is a beautiful sight resting in the water. It looks like a floating hill or mountain of ice and what we know about icebergs is they can be lethal underneath because 90% of their mass is actually underwater. That mass was strong enough to sink the Titanic and can cause incredible damage to those that do not steer clear of them. I think the iceberg is a perfect analogy for a business where what our clients and the public see is the pretty and polished part, and what they don’t see is the churning mass that lies beneath the surface that keeps the top afloat. When people hear that I own and operate a successful Staging business or see one of my marketing brand items that lets them know what I do, what I usually hear is, “What you do looks like so much fun! I just love decorating!” If only it were that simple. When we are skilled at what we do, we end up making it seem easy because we have learned how to run a business successfully and show the smooth outcome to the public. I have had clients think they have overpaid for Staging because the end result looks fabulous and they figure it took no time at all to achieve the finished outcome. The television programs that promote Staging could not possible show the actual work that is part of every successful Staging business – there is simply not enough time. Overall the media has been a blessing and a curse to Stagers. They give exposure to the service of Staging but do not show the reality of what is entailed. A Stager that is “featured” on one of these shows gets a microsecond of exposure, maybe a few words of dialogue, possibly show them hauling stuff out of a truck, but rarely show the back story of how they got to the point of the installation. I get calls all the time from people that want to do what I do – to “be a Stager.” They have no clue what it entails outside of us making a house look better before it comes on the market. They see the finished product and hear about the success and statistics that support Staging. They might even hear that Staging pays well and think it is easy money. I don’t discourage people and yet I know that they have no clue all that goes into being successful. Wanting it is not enough. Working hard every day and being committed with an attitude of perseverance is what it takes. What they see is just the tip of the iceberg. Are we making it look too easy? Should we show more of the churning chaos that is happening underneath and sink a ship or two from time to time? What they don’t see or know about is all the people that have started a business and failed or quit because turns out it was hard work. Client don't just fall into our laps. They don’t see the hours of education to learn about our industry. They don’t see the many hours of unpaid work we put in to get that first client and continual unpaid hours we put in to ensure we get new clients. They don’t see the physically demanding part where you haul items into or out of a house – and your hair is so sweaty you can wring it out. They don’t feel the sore muscles and backs we have after a long day. They don’t experience the many miles of driving back and forth across town to get to appointments or secure inventory. They don’t see the mental gymnastics we go through to coordinate multiple projects and many moving parts. They don’t hear the many conversations we have with Realtors or sellers that don’t believe Staging will help and some tell us more kindly than others. They don’t see the various personalities we deal with and have to please as we go through the process with our clients. They don’t know the hours put towards branding and marketing a business just to get that first opportunity and the volume of hours we put towards maintaining and nurturing client relationships. They also don’t see the "predators" out there – sharks that want to take our business or other aspects of the industry that are out of our control – such as the real estate market and the economy that both can have a huge impact on our success. Of course everyone would like to do what I do and earn the income I earn. I have been at this 13 years and have learned along the way from mistakes that can only come from being in the trenches. At the end of the day when an assistant bails on me and just decides not to show up to destage a house, guess who has to go to the house and pull all the items out, loading bins and art and schlepping to the Staging rig? Me, that’s who. At the end of the day, it is MY business and “the buck stops here” applies to any Staging business owner working to be successful. If the project does not go as planned and a client is unhappy, it is not the worker-bee that gets reprimanded. It is the company owner. Accepting responsibility and being able to handle tough situations separates the wannabes from the successful Stagers in this industry. When the going gets tough I cannot – I will not - pack up my tent and go home. This is my livelihood and I have to make it work because I support my family with this business. And because I love what I do. And because I would not choose to go back to my old life of working a 9-5 job. The hours, the sore muscles, cranky clients and other chaos that might occur are worth it to me because I love Staging. I also love the transformations I am part of whether it is the physical house or the mindset of a client. Just like icebergs are constantly growing and changing under water, we too have to change and adapt to the market and industry expectations. Being able to remain viable while also being competitive is an art and science. Finding other niches for income that take advantage of our creativity and talent is always happening and being able to keep a lookout and be forward focused on the horizon for new opportunities is our goal. I don’t believe that the public will ever really fully understand what goes on beneath the surface of my business and I don’t need to them to know every aspect. I educate them about what I do and my processes to help them achieve their goals and keep the back details private as they really don’t need to know all of that. They just need to know I am able to help them and they are in capable hands. Only when someone enters the waters of owning and operating a Staging business will they truly have full appreciation for all that goes on to make our clients properties look fabulous and help them achieve higher success. And then they will finally have the appreciation for successful Stagers in business all over the world. ______________________________________________________________________________ Jennie Norris is the Owner of Sensational Home Staging serving the greater Denver region.
