When I was just starting out, I searched everywhere for classes on how to become a better Professional Organizer. While there are a lot of classes and educational opportunities available, it can be difficult to determine which ones are most relevant to you as an entrepreneur trying to break in to the professional organizing business.
If you’re a new organizer and would like help getting started, check out the Amazing Organizer Package available exclusively from the A Red Bench website. Out of the 75 teleclasses we’ve recorded over the years, we’ve hand-picked the top five we think are useful for new organizers.
The Amazing Organizer Audio Package includes:
- Organizing For Your Brain Type with Lanna Nakone Cairns
- Powerful Needs Assessment with Marla Dee
- Managing Client Expectations with Mindy Godding, CPO®
- Successful Pricing Strategies with Krista Green
- Secrets for Asking Effective Questions with Byron van Arnsdale
Depending on your services, these classes may apply towards your continuing education units (CEUs). Click here for more information about the package and to register! This is a “best of” A Red Bench for those paving a new path.

Did you know that there are dozens of official designations for both the entire month and specific days or weeks? Many of them are silly–August is National Panini Month, for example–but if you’re looking for a topic to write about in an upcoming blog or newsletter, there are many that might be relevant to you and your business.
August is:
- American Adventures Month
- National Inventor’s Month
- Back to School Month
August 1st through 7th: Simplify Your Life Week
August 1st through 7th: National Fraud Awareness Week
August 22nd through 26th: National Safe At Home Week
August 2nd: National Night Out
August 7th: Professional Speakers Day
August 7th: Particularly Preposterous Packaging Day
August 13th: National Garage Sale Day
August 25th: National Second-Hand Wardrobe Day
For more information, check out Wikipedia’s lists of commemorative months and days, or take a look at this site by Library Support Staff. Or look for Chase’s Calendar of Events, the definitive resource, at your local bookstore or library.
