Become a Professional Organiser
Are you organised? Able to clear piles of clutter in a single bound? Great with time? Do you have dinner on the table without raising a sweat? Perhaps you have operated a small business and know what systems work to give owners time away from the business? Do you want to share your knowledge and skills with others and help them enjoy the peace and calm you feel? If this is you, then chances are you have considered a career as a Professional Organiser.
Professional Organisers help others find order and peace in their lives, in their homes and in their businesses. Perhaps you are a domestic goddess? Or you know who to whip a small business into shape with the right systems and time management techniques? Professional Organisers offer a range of organisation and time management solutions through sharing strategies and tools and tips that show people how to simplify their lives and reduce their clutter whether it is at home or work.
Recent research into Australian lifestyle has found that businesses that offer home services are expected to surge in popularity. Faced with reduced leisure time due to working longer hours and being forced back into the workforce because of debt or poor investments, Australians are experiencing a decrease in leisure time. Wanting to maximise their leisure time, Australians are embracing the outsourcing of their household activities. Everyday things that we do for ourselves will increasingly be done by other people, so there are fantastic opportunities all the way through (IBISWorld).
My “Business Kickstart for Professional Organisers” starts on 15 February. This innovative 8 week webinar course will help you discover your organising niche, start your business, determine your fees and attract clients. And I would love to have you join me and fulfill your business dream.

As a little child, I remember singing a song about ‘This Little Light of Mine” and there’s one phrase that I still sing to myself from that song which is “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine”…..”Hide it under a bushel, NO! I’m going to let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine”. This song is great reminder for me to continue to shine my unique skills and talents with the world and to go for my dreams. Are you shining your light with the neighbours? City? State? World?
