Lyssa
Schmitt and Judy Heinrich, ASPs
Lyssa
Schmitt and Judy Heinrich of SPACE LIFT "A Face-Lift For Your
Home", started their Home Staging business in October 2004.
This decision came after an inspiring ASP Accreditation course
they took from Barb Schwarz in Irvine, CA. Before the course,
Lyssa and Judy weren't sure they had what it would take to
start a successful business, but Barb quickly put those fears
to rest! Her positive attitude and inspiring personal stories
gave Lyssa and Judy the motivation they needed to get their
business off the ground.
Since
that time SPACE LIFT has grown into a thriving business. With
about $16,000 worth of inventory, Lyssa and Judy consistently
Stage between 2-4 homes per month. Their original goal of breaking
even on their initial investment was one year, but they were
able to achieve it in only 4 months! For those of you who are
debating about whether or not to start a Home Staging business,
we say this. "With hard work and a positive attitude, you too
can make your dream a reality!"

Monica L. Obershaw, ASPM
Monica Obershaw has a fantastic husband, 4 healthy, beautiful children
(3 boys 13,12,10 and 1 daughter soon to be 6 on the 27th of November) and last but not least her dog Nabie. Monica currently resides in Fishers, IN which is a suburbs of Indianapolis, IN. Before relocating, she resided in Ringgold, GA for 6 years and was born in Racine, Wisconsin.
Monica's life has been a fantastic journey of many opportunities in my career. She has an Associates Degree in Dental Assisting with a specialty in Orthodontics. Monica enjoyed many years of that profession before leaving the Dental Field after her first son was born, and beginning a new career in a direct selling home based business. Monica excelled beyond her goals, but felt that she was not fulfilling all her potential...because the only reason she started the business was to see the inside of her clients' homes. That all brings Monica to another journey in her life as an ASPM. In her opinion...The best is yet to come!
