Training And Tools For Professional Organizers

My mother has passed, and I'm asking friends and site visitors to please help find a cure for the disease that killed her by donating to IPF research -- you can read more about it and donate on my main page at www.RamonaCreel.com.

During my years as a Professional Organizer -- and running OnlineOrganizing -- I have learned a great deal about what it takes to build a successful organizing business. Most organizers are good at organizing (or else they wouldn't have entered the field) -- but they quite often have no experience as entrepreneurs. Knowing how to organize yourself and knowing how to parlay that into an income-producing small business are two entirely different things. I teach new organizers how to do the latter.

My training program covers every aspect of running an organizing business -- from setting up your business policies and creating a defensible contract, to marketing and managing your business finances, to working directly with clients and structuring an organizing appointment. I'm not going to tell you how to put together a filing system or re-arrange a closet by season (there are plenty of books out there for that.) But what I will show you is how to TEACH those skills to a client -- how to turn your organizing expertise into a consulting practice, and how to expand your business to include products, public speaking, and writing (should you choose to do so down the road.)

My training program format is a little unconventional -- but it works very well for the subject matter. There are 12 modules, each covering a different business issue. With each course module, you receive a reading on the topic at hand, a series of homework assignments, and a recommended literature list. These are all delivered in a downloadable format, so you can save them to your computer and complete the lessons at your leisure. Once you have finished the homework assignment, simply email the lessons back to me (according to the enclosed instructions) -- I will review your responses and provide you with feedback, suggestions for expanding on your ideas, and a heads up about any possible roadblocks you might run into. It's sort of like coaching on paper (although complementary phone coaching sessions are also available if you need some extra help with a lesson.)
