"I want you to know how much I enjoyed our week together - your class far exceeded my expectations! You create a wonderful environment to learn; your teaching is thorough and thought provoking. The class setting is wonderfully intimate and the hands- on experience applying the concepts of staging and redesign in actual homes is invaluable to students embarking on this career. You are a warm, insightful and beautiful girl.

"Hi Becky,
Just jotting off a quick email to say that it has been a complete pleasure to work with Jerry and Jessie. My website should be finished soon and they have both made every effort to make it wonderful. My business cards came even earlier than expected and I love them! I'm already on the first page of Google which is amazing.
I'm so glad I made the decision to come to Jacksonville.
Thanks,
Liz"

Becky Headshot 2

It's so easy to get discouraged in today's economy. So many things are pumping negative data into our brain on a continual basis... the news, our friends and family. We need to make sure we are offsetting the negative noise with positive reinforcement.

  

Cyndi Rice, who is a business coach, spoke to our Advanced Class last month and had everyone spellbound with her inspiring talk. Some were laughing; some were crying; all were challenged and empowered.

 A limited number of CD sets from the conference will be ready to ship in early August. See details in the BACKSTAGE section. Also, see details about a local Ballard Design-RESA event for anyone who would enjoy a little designer eye-candy. BACKSTAGE for dates, etc.

 

People often ask about my sources of inspiration. Where do I go for motivation and ideas? What do I read? I will share a few of my favorites with you today. 

 

My favorite business books are:

Multiple Streams of Internet Income by Robert Allen

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Your Best Life Now by Joel Osteen 

Time Management by Dan Kennedy

The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss

Platform by Michael Hyatt  (strongly recommend)

Here is speaker Mary Habres who shared a positive message called Fishing for Clients at the Advanced Class. 

  

  Fishing for Clients

I hope you all enjoy the last of the summer weeks. Take a great book to the beach with you. Detox your mind from negative junk food and feed it life-changing, soul-satisfying words of wisdom.

 

 What is your favorite book?

3. I am starting an official coaching/mentoring opportunity for our students and any staging business owners. Those who stay connected always flourish and grow. Several years ago, I got certified as a lifestyle coach through Dream Mentors International. The concept of accountability and goal-setting works to bring us all up to a higher level of productivity and happiness.

 

Join us for the monthly mentoring session called "Happy Hour with Becky." We also offer a one-on-one strategy session by appointment. Next conference call is August 14th at 8:00PM EDT. $15 a month to be on the mentoring team. 

 

We had about 30 on our first call. Get more info... becky@beckyharmon.com We had rave reviews after our last session. Limited space available.

 

4. Our August Certification Class starts on the 21st - 23rd. Limited space available.

 

The Online class is usually the first week of each month. August class is the 6th, 9th and 11th. E-mail for the brochure and our HALF PRICE special.
