Why Become a Professional Organizer?

Does a career where you help people improve the quality of
their lives & make money from that sound appealing to you? Well, as a
professional organizer, you can do both! Of course making money will come
over time. But, the satisfaction of helping people more than compensates
for the slow start that usually accompanies a new business.
If you offer hands-on organizing, you can reap quite a few
rewards. Not only do you have the opportunity to meet and get to know
interesting people, but you can watch them make a transition to a new way
of life! Being able to visually see their facial expression change from
stressful, worry wrinkles to smiles & bright eyes is an extraordinary
feeling!
Not only does the person you are organizing with benefit,
but you can witness the entire family change. Children may remark to you
that they can spend more time with their parents. They may look at you and
tell you proudly that their room is all picked up and they did it
themselves. Husbands talk about how content their wives are. They may even
tell you about how they didn't miss an
important school function because
of a new system that you helped them implement as a family. And usually
you will hear wives mention that their work load seems much less than it
used to be. They may even relate to you that the family is finally
pitching in to help around the house.
If you decide to do virtual organizing, you will receive
emails of thank-you's just for your excellent advice or even just the
little extra motivation that they needed. What a feeling! You will 'see'
people's lives change. Instead of reading questions & frustrations
over things that too many people face when trying to get organized, you
will start to receive emails in which you can 'hear' their joy over their
experiences of finally things falling into place. Sometimes, your clients
may even ask you how to start their own organizing business!
Personally, when starting my own business, I wanted to
help others get organized. That was it. I never thought of helping people
start their own organizing businesses. Eventually, I started receiving
more and more emails from a variety of people asking me for advice on how
they could start their own business.
I started my online class, Learn
to Be a Professional Organizer to accomplish this. At first, even I
didn't think it would be as rewarding as organizing people. But then I
started getting the emails. These emails contained remarks about what a
great time they are having in their new career.
I never knew I was going to receive such joy and
satisfaction from a career! But then, it hit me! Not only was I helping
people start off in this new, rewarding profession, but, had I not been
there to help them along, they may not have pursued it. Clients would have
lost out. They wouldn't have had their personal organizer!
One more great thing about being a professional organizer:
continuous learning! This isn't a career that gets stale. You learn new
techniques, you learn how to customize organizing techniques to the
variety of clients. Not only that, but there are always new organizational
tools being developed! Those are always fun!
Finally, you can learn how to expand your expertise.
Joining different organizations that focus on a variety of client-types.
For instance, you can learn how to help people who suffer from ADD/ADHD,
who are disabled, who are chronically disorganized, as well as facing
other obstacles.
So, why become a professional organizer?
-
You can make a difference in people's lives whether
they are clients or other's who want to learn how to organize others.
-
You can continually learn about organizing techniques,
tools, and specialties.
-
You will have a career that won't let you down - you
only reap the rewards!
