Scaling smart: transitioning from solo stager to business owner

You’ve built a successful staging business—but you’re at capacity. If you want to grow, you’ll need to start thinking like a CEO. That means building systems, hiring help, and letting go of control where it counts. Shari Casanova’s mentorship program is built on exactly this kind of transformation.

From Doing It All to Delegating

Scaling means shifting from technician to strategist.

Step 3: Use Software & Tools Inventory tracking tools, client CRMs, and project management apps will help you stay organized.

Step 1: Document Your Systems Create SOPs (standard operating procedures) for every part of your business—consults, installs, inventory, invoicing.

Step 2: Hire for Your Weak Spots Don’t wait until you’re burned out. Hire admin help, movers, or staging assistants to free up your time.

Your Warehouse = Your Powerhouse
