How to Finally Get Paid What You're Worth!
I never had a boss I could respect! I was over worked and underappreciated. So when my last
boss (in 1972) told me that the organization for whom I worked was not going to give me any
cost of living increase (forget about a raise based on what I was worth, they weren't even keeping
up with inflation) the following year, I decided then and there that I wasn't going to ever work
for someone else again! I was going to start my own business and get paid what I was worth
and not just what they thought they could get by with paying me.
Ever have those feelings? I was the hardest, most creative worker any company could ever have!
But I never felt appreciated and my paycheck was just getting me past my bills each month. There was
never enough to do any of the things I really wanted and needed to do. Sound familiar?
But what's a girl to do? At the time, I was interested and skilled in graphic design and so I started
my own graphics and printing company. That lasted until 1983, when bored to tears and with the introduction
of the personal computer at an affordable price, I knew that my days in graphic design were numbered.
This is Exclusive Stuff!
About that time I was introduced to a company called Transart Industries.
Longing for something new and
challenging, that was still creative, I jumped in. I had never been in this type of business and was
a little apprehensive.
But what made me different from most of the other consultants was that I chose to focus
on businesses who needed art, rather than homeowners. My first corporate client was
a California division of a national company with 23 local branches. I did all of the art for those branches.
Eventually over the years that corporation grew to over 300 branch offices locally and 8 regional offices
just in the southern part of my state alone.
"This is a really great book on the subject of art consulting. My compliments to the author."
- Art Andrews
"You covered the subject brilliantly." - Mark Ambrose
"I've ordered many ebooks online before. Most of them were very sketchy and charged outrageous prices
for very little information. I am delighted with the training in your ebook. It is very thorough.
Thank you." - Anna Lipscomb
The average purchase my business clients would make at one time in those days was about $3-5000 worth of art. My profit
was a little more than half of that amount for about 1-2 days of my time. Many projects were over $10,000
for less than a week's work. One building alone for a corporation exceeded $30,000 for about 1-1/2 weeks
work, by the time the project was fully installed.
Now a girl can get pretty spoiled on that kind of money!
While I didn't have large projects all the time, it was sure sweet when it happened. It can happen for you
too.
Be a Decorative Art Consultant
Now,
at long last, you can get my exclusive and brand new eBook called,
Decorative Art Consulting, which is hot off the ePress! And in it you will find that
I have laid out step-by-step everything, and I mean everything you need to know to get started
in your own full time or part time home based business as a decorative art consultant. There is no
other book on this exact subject anywhere on the planet! This is a one-of-a-kind, very, very
specific book on the subject of decorative art consulting for corporate clients.
If you love the business world and want to stay involved in the corporate scene, but you also just
want to get out on your own and build your own empire, have your own dream, work when you want and
take off when you want, earn what you are worth with NO LIMITS to how much you can earn, then this
is the perfect business for you!
I'd still be doing it except that I've entered my senior years and want to retire. Right now the
only thing that really attracts me is staying in one place and helping other people achieve their
dreams. If you've wandered around this web site at all, you've already discovered that I've written
four other books, but all of them are geared for the residential client or residential designer.
This book is for those of us who love the world of business, the prestige of associating with CEOs on
a first name basis, and the really big incomes that can be
generated from shamelessly little effort. Well, I guess I should qualify that. You have to be someone
willing to work hard to build you business, don't get me wrong. But as far as the amount of work
you have to do on a project, it's relatively simple and quick. I still remember the day I made $1000
just for accepting a phone call, writing up an invoice and placing an order. It sure beats 9-5
deadend jobs with cranky bosses and gossiping co-workers!
TESTIMONIALS
Decorative Art Consultingis
a rich how-to eBook (the equivalent of over 200 pages of your typical 6x9
book) that I have just completed. As one of the first corporate
art consultants in Southern California, with experience dating back to 1983, I am now
sharing all of my secrets, tips, procedures, policies, methods, design concepts
and business skills to you -- passing the baton to the younger generation to
carry on and do even greater, more creative and more challenging projects that I did.
I'm looking for a few good art-loving entrepreneurial types, who live in or near
a metropolitan area, and who would love to learn what this "old pro" has to teach.
Are you that unique person?
My latest book, Decorative Art Consulting,
will teach you everything you need to know to start your own home based
business as a corporate art consultant, specializing in decorative art (not to be confused
with museum quality art consulting). Whether you want to work part time
or full time, now you can learn to do what I have done for the past two decades .
Earn What You Are Worth
Don't go looking for some outrageous seminar or class
to train you because they don't exist, at least not that I have found. This is a very
specialized niche market. You don't need experience, but you do need to have a creative
flair and be self motivated.
This isn't your average decorating
book. This isn't your average how to start a home based business
book. This is focused exclusively on the specific business of offering a
decorative art consulting service to businesses. All of the
information is tried and true. It's not theory made up by some
"expert" who has never been involved in the business. It's
practical, how to secrets, tips, procedures and methods by a bonafide
interior rearrangement specialist of 16 years. No games! No
fluff! Just the real stuff!
You see, you deserve to have the
best-reasoned, the best informed, the most objective and knowledgeable advice
you can get so that you can make intelligent decisions regarding your future, so
that you don't live to regret paying out a small fortune for information that
was inferior or incomplete or that didn't motivate you and sustain you. I don't
want to see anyone get caught up into somebody's clutches, wind up misguided and
or make critical, imprudent decisions that could screw up their life and their
finances too.
But I can't stop you if you're determined
to go that route. So sure, you can take those expensive seminars
floating around. They go anywhere from $995 to $3000, and that doesn't
include your air fare, hotel and meals! You won't learn any more of
the essential information there than you can get in Jennings' book for a
fraction of the cost, without leaving your home! As matter of fact,
this eBook can be read on your computer in the next 5 minutes! Within
just a few minutes, you could be on your way to starting your very own
decorating consulting business and saving all that money to put toward marketing
your business and getting your first clients instead.
Barbara Jennings has been redecorating the
homes of clients in Southern California, using the furniture and accessories
her clients already own, since 1986 and she knows how to do it and do it well.
Now she's ready to teach you. It doesn't matter if you're already an interior
designer or you just love design. She has structured her two eBooks (Decor
Secrets Revealed and Rearrange It!) to work together to provide
you with all the information and guidance you need to become a rearrangement
professional and even start your own business, working from home, creating
beautiful homes for clients in your area.
Here's What You Will Get
Don't go buy some outrageous kit for $295.
Don't sign up for some other outrageous "seminar" for $995, $2500 or
$3000 that promises you some bogus "certificate" upon completion
which you certainly don't need. Jennings has never had any potential client
ask her for credentials or certificates. Never! The originators of these very
expensive seminars have to do something to make you think you're getting
something extra special and that magically you have "certification"
in a program they made up themselves. You don't need a degree. You don't need
to be certified. You don't need to be connected to anyone or anything!
It's nonsense. You don't need it.
What you do need is some real straight talk from someone who's been doing it
for years and has now shared her secrets and tips to help you get started
quickly and easily - and isn't going to charge you a fortune to help you get

"I am a 27 year old Art History graduate who has been struggling to find a
"fulfilling" direction in the medium of beauty. I cannot tell you how excited I
was to find your site on the web. Art is my passion. Every word you wrote
spoke straight to my heart. Im dizzy with excitement at the implications of how
your book is going to help me with my foray into the world of art consulting.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for sharing your experience." - Susannah Brouwer
Imagine!
Just imagine yourself creating the most
beautiful arrangement in a client's home and having your client's mouth drop
open as you show her a whole new and refreshing way to arrange the room that
she never thought of doing before!
That's the fantastic feeling that Barbara
Jennings gets every time she goes on a consulting appointment.
"It's always a decorating challenge that's creative, instant and very
rewarding." says Jennings. "Within a matter of 1-2 hours, I can
literally transform any room out there and turn it into a decorator's
showplace, and it doesn't matter what style it is, what the configuration of
the room is, what type of furniture and accessories are there, nor what kind
of condition they are in." she added.
Does That Sound Like Something You'd Like?
You don't need a degree in interior design
to do this kind of service. You don't need any consulting license. You
do need a good working knowledge of how to arrange furniture and accessories
(provided for you in Decor Secrets Revealed, right here on this web
site), but other than that you just need to learn how to provide the service,
get the appointments and bank the money!
That part of the equation is also available
right here on this web site. Rearrange It! has everything you need to
do it right! And it even comes with an iron clad 60-day guarantee in case you
are not satisfied, so there's absolutely no risk to you.
Including Three Special Bonuses
BONUS #1 And just like all of Jennings' ebooks, you
will also be given her secret email address just for those who purchase her
books so that you can ask her questions that pertain to your own situation.
No one else offers you that, just for the price of a book!
TESTIMONIAL -- "Thanks so much for
going the extra mile for me . . . I'm a fan for life now!" -- Midge
Weidner
That on-going promise to personally help you
should convince you how serious Barbara Jennings is in wanting to help those
that would like to experience the creative world of interior design and have
their own part time or full time business as well. Jennings used to have
one of those dead-end, boring left brain jobs working hard for someone else
who treated her poorly. She got out of the employee rat race in 1972 and
has never looked back! So can you!
BONUS #2 With your order of Pro Art Consulting, you'll also receive a free bonus
report called "Hanging Art Over Furniture", which includes over 60 illustrations of the do's and
don'ts of hanging art over commercial furniture. You'll instantly be able to understand what is
appropriate and what isn't and why.
BONUS #3 And that's not all. You'll also get a copy of another exclusive free bonus report
called, Art Consulting Case Study, which includes 30 photos of the author's most recent $10,000 art
project I mentioned earlier. You'll see the project being installed, and she'll explain why she did what she
did. It's a fantastic learning tool to help you in your business as you design your own art projects.
These free reports are worth $50 just by themselves.
BONUS GIFT #4
You will also receive my FREE Redesigner's/Consultant's newsletter (for sample, click here) which will focus on all kinds of concepts, tips and training for starting,
developing and managing a home-based business as a consultant. Other readers of Rearrange It and Pro Art Consulting will be

Halls? What Do You Do With Them?
Struggling with a boring hallway? Don't know what to do? Sometimes this is an area of the home that
is "thrown together" or "thrown away" because it is viewed as being less important than the rest of the
home. But here are some ideas for decorating your hall that are easy and quick.
Naturally, the most obvious solution is to hang a framed work of art in the middle of the largest wall.
Well, if you take this road, make sure that the art work covers 1/2-3/4 of the horizontal space of the
wall so that the art will be in good proportion to the wall.
If you don't have a single piece or two companion pieces that will give enough coverage in the middle
of the wall, then look for a doorway opposite the wall. Place a large framed picture directly across from
the doorway. This is a logical place and when some leaves the room off the hallway, they have something
attractive to look at.
However, if you don't have a doorway opposite the wall in question, and particularly if the wall is a
long one, then divide the wall into two or three parts. Consider hanging two companions in one half
and a single large picture in the other half. Even better, if you have two walls facing one another,
divide the longest wall into thirds. Place a work of art in the first third, say on the right. Then
place another work of art in the middle of the opposite wall on the left. Finally, place another
work of art in the last third of the longest wall. This way you have two on the right and one on the
left, but they are staggered, balancing the "hall room" from one end to the other. Avoid placing art
across from another work of art, unless the hall is wide. You don't want the hall to appear closed in.
Hang the pictures at the eye level of a 5'6" person. If the focal point of the image is low, place
that picture slightly higher on the wall than if the focal point is high in the picture.
An exception to this rule is if you choose to make the hall a family picture gallery. Family pictures
are generally small in size and should be place in close proximity forming a grouping. Don't get too
carried away and try to hang every picture of you family that you have. Too much of a good thing
is simply too much.
When I design family photo galleries, I place all of the black and white photos together and never mix
them in with color photographs. I look for photographs that have a similar color tone, avoiding mixing
anything into the grouping that tends to attract too much attention to itself. Begin by hanging the
largest photo first to anchor the grouping.
Lay all of the elements out on the floor in front of the wall (if space permits) and rearrange until
you get an arrangement that is pleasing to the eye. Place it in the center or just off center of the overall
measurement of the grouping. Build from the center outward. Your grouping can be symmetrical or
asymmetrical in design. I prefer the latter, personally.
Remove the easel on the back, if there is one. The pictures will hang more uniformly and rest snugly
against the wall. For extra security and to keep them from getting dislodged and hanging off level,
use some double back 1/8" foam tape placed in the center of the bottom part of the frame. In California
I am always concerned about the possibility of earthquakes, so I always try to secure everything I hang
in some manner.
Consider creating a vertically aligned grouping on a narrow panel of wall. Just make sure that the
grouping fits snugly in the space, without feeling cramped. Avoid hanging something that is too narrow
for the wall. It will feel dwarfed and overpowered by the wall. Covering 2/3rds of the width is just
about the perfect proportion.
