Cancer Survivor Follows Her Lifelong Design Dreams

I distinctly remember when Virginia Beach home staging expert, Karen Honore of Staging on a Budget first joined the HSR program almost two year ago.  When I interviewed Karen, she said to me "After being diagnosed almost 2 years ago with breast cancer, it was a wake up call that life is fragile and I vowed to live with no regrets!"  Her dream was design and her perseverance, generosity and plain "gutsiness" has helped her build a fantastic staging business!  You are going to LOVE her story...

Audra,
I have since I was a little girl had the passion for design!  I would change my bedroom around at least once a month and as I got older I would go to friend's houses and start changing around rooms in their homes.

When I was a senior in High School I had decided to explore interior design, well wouldn't you know I met my husband now of "21" years and that all changed!

I was doing property management and my husband was accepted into dental school. I continued to work in the property management field putting my husband through school and supporting our family, we had our first son my husbands first year of dental school. I continued in property management until I had our third son and than had the opportunity to stay home a few years.

I was driving myself crazy always changing things I had just changed to keep me busy, so I got my real estate license. I mainly got it to have the luxury of looking at decorated homes whenever I wanted to. That was over 12 years ago. My husband always encouraged me to go to school and get my degree in interior design. I always had excuses the boys were too young, not enough time to study, etc. We have 3 boys which are now 14, 16, and 19. I would look at classes on line than freeze.

I finally took the step when a great friend encouraged me to follow my dream right when I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 37. I made it through my cancer treatments without a hiccup. I explored many staging courses when I came across your company and loved what I saw! 

I loved all the phone conferences and hearing how others were doing. The material I received I still use today. Anytime I had a question it was always answered immediately the instruction and guidance was top notch. I have a pretty good business sense about me, but there were so many other things I never considered when starting my business till I took your course. I attribute Staging on a Budget's success story to my committing to your course and the material you are constantly updating and making available to your members.

Thank you for keeping me focused and the guidance your company and course offered me. I have recommended your course to many people and refer people to your website almost daily. Success is a top word in my vocabulary and I only see my business growing by leaps and bounds in the future.

All my best,

Karen

"Audra's hard work in putting together the HSR Training program shows in the amount of information and number of contacts she provides in the materials. Having an interior design background, the website is continually updated with the latest news and the continued support throughout the course is very helpful."

After many hours online, researching all of the different programs and training available, I concluded that not a single one offered what the HSR 21-day training program did. The HSR training doesn't just show you how to rearrange furniture and then give you some "letters" to put after your name; HSR training teaches you how to set-up your business, build it and market it, perfect your craft, and sell your products/services. HSR provides all of the tools you need to become a successful business owner AND a home stager.

Dear Audra,

I can't believe how much your home staging course has changed my life! I have worked full time as a hairdresser for 25 years and really needed a change. I have always loved Real Estate and decorating and I have wanted to change careers for a few years now but I had no idea what I would do. After doing some research online I realized I could make a living doing what I'm good at and I'm so glad I chose your program! You really have thought of everything, this training program is amazing! I really loved the recent changes you've made and I just want to thank you for giving me a reason to get up every morning excited about what the day will bring!

My partner and I definitely feel that we have gain important industry knowledge to start our business one step ahead of the competition. We also feel that we have gain another partner or adviser in the process. Thank you HSR and Audra for giving us a competitive edge.

"I've in known in my heart for a long time that I could help realtors sell homes by just doing a little face lift and giving homes that personal touch that it needed, but I didn't know how to put my ideas into a business plan until I found Home Staging Resource. On searching the web one day, I discovered Home Staging Resource and found the answers to my many questions and got some direction to my new business and I was thrilled.  The HSR training has given me exactly what I've needed to have a successful business.  You've thought of everything!  I appreciate the personal touch HSR gives to their members. Thank you for having this vision to help others in fulfilling their vision!"
