What if the most powerful tool in your staging business isn't your inventory or marketing strategy but the thoughts you choose to think?

What if "I am an in-demand stager" was your most practiced, intentional thought? How would you show up differently? What actions would you take? How would your entire business shift?

The truth is, we get to choose the sentences we tell ourselves. And when we choose empowering thoughts and practice them deliberately, everything changes. Our confidence, our decisions, our results - all that makes your staging business thrive.

Today, I'll walk you through how to create your own belief plan, why it works, and how this one practice can make every bit of difference in your business.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why believing your brain is not always the best
• How to build a better action plan for your business
• Intentional thoughts you can start practicing now
• How to stick to the belief plans you make

Can I be honest with you?

Most of us are growing our businesses all wrong. We're adding more clients, more inventory, more team members, more stress and wondering why we feel like we're being dragged behind the business we created instead of leading it.

You've probably 10x'd your to-do list, your warehouse space, and your sleepless nights long before you've 10x'd the care you give yourself. And that? That's the problem.

Because here's what nobody tells you when you're building a staging business: The business doesn't grow because you work harder. It grows because YOU grow. Not your hustle. Not your sacrifice. You - the human running the show.

So if you're heading into 2026 feeling exhausted, stretched thin, or like you've abandoned yourself somewhere along the way... this episode is your permission slip to stop. To draw a line in the sand. To remember that you are not just the CEO of your business you ARE the business. You're the asset. And it's time you started treating you like one.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• The difference between external 10x (hustle harder) and internal 10x (upgrade your capacity)
• Why most entrepreneurs abandon themselves in pursuit of their goals—and how to stop
• How to use internal vs. external locus of control to shape your business outcomes
• The 10x prompt that will make your next-level decisions crystal clear
• Why choosing a word of the year matters (and words like "asset," "sufficiency," and "anchored" might be perfect for you)

The newest data from the Real Estate Staging Association just dropped for Q2 and Q3, and I need to share something with you that honestly broke my heart a little bit when I saw it. The ROI numbers? Absolutely extraordinary. We're talking about the kind of returns that would make any financial advisor pause and say, "Wait, are we talking about a Ponzi scheme here?"

But here's what got me: The average staging investment sits under $5,000. A $3,800 to $4,300 investment producing anywhere from $58,000 to $100,000 in additional seller equity.

Now, I'm not sharing this to make you feel bad about your pricing or to pressure you into arbitrary price increases. This isn't about comparison or judgment. But when you place those incredible ROI numbers next to what our industry is charging on average, it creates a powerful moment for reflection.

So today's conversation is really about one question: Does the price I charge reflect the value I create?

In this episode, I'm walking you through the latest RESA statistics, breaking down the neuroscience behind why pricing feels so hard and inviting you to start tracking your own data so you can price from confidence instead of fear. Afterall. We are entering into a new season and better now than ever.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE:

• The staggering new staging ROI numbers from Q2 and Q3 and why they matter more than ever.
• Why many staging CEOs undercharge from outdated brain patterns.
• How to build your own staging statistics and stop relying on national averages to justify your pricing.
• A reflection framework to help you assess alignment between your pricing and the outcomes you create.
