The Expo Hall at the 2010 NAPO Conference had a new twist called the Market Place with over 20 exhibitors including A Red Bench. This was a great and even more personal way to see the products and talk with the vendors.
My booth neighbors were Sandy Jenney of Organize with Sandy and Linda Easton of Extraordinary Organizing . That’s us pictured to the right. Here is what I LOVE about conference…there are so many people doing amazing things! These women are both doing amazing things and are pioneers in their own rights. Sandy is very successful with her organizing business, Organize with Sandy blog, Chat with Sandy blog, product reviews, selling products, and more. She recently had the opportunity to interview Peter Walsh on her blog, click here to watch the interview. Sandy is a woman who is in the know and stays on top of products and trends.
Linda Easton is also doing some amazing things. Of course she runs her organizing business but she has also created her own line of workbooks, and she has started an organizing home party business. To learn more about Linda and opportunities to becoming one of her consultants click here to visit her web-site.
The take-away here is that when you look at Professional Organizers there are many different business models that are available. In both the cases I described above and what I observe from many successful Professional Organizers is that they have multiple streams of income, they are doing something unique, and they have a passion for what they are doing. Marrying what you love and what you have fun doing with what you are already good at, time and time again shows up as the secret to success. Can you add a twist to your services? Something new and different that might bring a little excitement to your business? We’d love to hear what you’re doing.
