Have you checked out the videos offered by recent Red Bench speakers Elaine Shannon and Kimberly Eagles on Organizing Connection yet? They are fantastic! Well written, informative, and fun to watch! I was very impressed with the professional production of these videos and the lighthearted feel.
If you are looking for something to add to your services, or something that you can sell at speaking events to bring in some revenue, you should take a look at these videos and what Organizing Connection has to offer. We all know it’s great to get new clients at speaking events, but not everyone can afford our services–this is a way to help give people some added support and generate a little extra money. See the list of videos Organizing Connection offers here at their website.

Recently on A Red Bench, we interviewed Nancy Wesson of Focus On Space about Organizing Elders–this was a great class with a lot of valuable information about working with elder clients. Click here for more information about the class and to purchase the recording.
Nancy’s award-winning book Moving Your Aging Parents is now available to download on Kindle! This book focuses on the important issues surrounding working with an elder client or family member, including how to identify needs and desires to create a quality life, cope with the Depression-Era mindset, and ask the right questions to help the client let go of treasures. If you’re just starting to work with elder clients, or would like to improve your rapport with those you already have, go here to learn more about this book or download the Kindle edition here!

Last month, I recieved a Simply Stashed pocket system from Christy Designs, an over-the-door organizing system that’s a fun and fabulous upgrade to the traditional ’shoe organizer’. I love it! I’m currently using the pink Variety Stash in my daughters’ room, and its variety of pockets are just right for holding little items such as lip gloss and hair accessories as well as larger items that otherwise would clutter up a drawer.
To celebrate the holiday season, Christy Designs, LLC is offering 20% off all of their Simply Stashed and Gear Pockets products. Just order on their website between now and December 21st, and use “Merry” as your code. This will give you a 20% discount on your total purchases. Please note shipping methods in order to reach you in time, if you’re giving this as a gift!

Our Profitable Pricing eBook available at aredbench.com
In the past two years we have generated passive income using information products as our business model. We’ve create over 40 Audio Recordings on a variety of business related topics, two eBooks, Six Business Forms, a Social Media Event, the Red Bench Coaching Club and the Teleclass Membership. We had great ideas and we put them in motion. You can too!
- Do you have a great idea you would love to turn into a product?
- Do you love the idea of creating an information product, but don’t have the time or the energy to make it happen?
- Would you like to diversify your business by offering products that create passive income?
Many businesses have already discovered the benefits of information products. By creating information products, (such as Training Courses, Books or Audio Products) you leverage every opportunity and position yourself as an expert, build passive revenue and open up a world of new opportunities.
For the first time ever we are sharing what we have learned about creating information products in our Six Month Become An Infopreneur Program. This course will only be available to TEN small business owners who want to expand their business, position themselves as experts and create alternate revenue streams. We find many small business owners are interested in information products, but don’t know how to get started or have fears about the process. During our Six Month Become An Infopreneur Program you will go from concept to consumer using our step by step approach to successfully create and launch your product. And the best part is you don’t have to do it alone. You will have us and the learning from the others to make this process enjoyable and exciting.

The Professional Organizers of Canada Conference this year is taking place on November 6 – 8. Needless to say, attending Conference is very important because you meet so many people as well as learn vital business information and the latest in the world of professional organizing.
This year is extra exciting as I am hosting a workshop at Conference: “From Organizer to Infopreneur – Using Information Products to Boost Profitability.” Taking place on November 7 at 10:30am, this workshop focuses on the importance of information products and how you can use them to increase business. Here’s the workshop’s description:
“Many businesses have already discovered the benefits of information products. There is an eager group of buyers out there and you can tap into them by knowing what you’re passionate about and knowing what has the most potential in terms of quantity of sales and dollar amount per sale. Using information products, you leverage every opportunity and start increasing and protecting your income stream. A Red Bench’s business model is built on using information products as a revenue stream. Using our 6-Step Infopreneur Process, you will leave with the process to go from mind to marketplace and start earning passive income.”
Register now to attend my workshop at the POC conference. You can also view the program for Conference here (PDF) – my workshop is listed on page 8.

I recently received my POC Talk newsletter and was shocked and thrilled to see that I have been nominated for the 2009 Harold Taylor Award. What an honor and a surprise!!! Thank you so much to whoever nominated me. I did not see this coming and am just thrilled to be apart of such a distinguished list of organizers. 
Nominees are the people who have been recognized by their peers as having given something back to POC, its members, and the organizing industry. The winner will be announced at the National POC Conference in Calgary this November. I will be a speaker the conference. The presentation is From Organizer to Infopreneur– Using Information Products to Boost Profitability. I look forward to meeting many organizers.
Thank you for this honor. I am proud to be apart of POC and have always wanted to give as much as I can to other organizers and the organizing industry. That is why A Red Bench was born!
