I’ve been writing “To Do” lists since I was a little girl. And for as long as I can remember, those lists always included one item: “Clean/Organize”.
I also remember the perpetual frustration, disappointment and self-judgment that came from failing to complete the tasks I planned to accomplish.
Looking back, I feel sure that one of the main reasons that my goals were not achieved was the fact that the “Clean/Organize” item was never properly addressed. I suppose it was largely because I didn’t know how (at the time) to “Set the stage” so that I could proceed with my other “To Do’s” with grace and ease.
I came across Barb Schwarz’ concept of staging as we prepared to put a house on the market. It’s become a game-changer in the real estate industry. The idea is to make a house inviting to potential buyers by de-cluttering and arranging in the most broadly appealing manner. This helped me further understand the importance of designing our environments with joyful achievement in mind!
Now I find myself equipped with both the knowledge and skills that allow me to tackle this task. It’s what has inspired me to write this book to provide you with the advantage of setting your own stage for success.
I’ll also share other aspects of personal development that I’ve learned on my journey so far that may be of service to you in your life. I believe that we’re each in charge of our own story. I like to think of this experience of human existence as a show that we get to create. If this is the case, we are on a Universal stage and it’s up to us to give the performance of our life’s time.
As the star of the show, one of the most exciting facts is that you’re not only the lead actor, you’re also the producer and director. You get to decide exactly how this show is going to go!
Let’s look at the elements that go into a stunning performance, shall we?
