When I first began my business with a business coach, I learned a tremendous amount about conducting a business. Through my reading, coursework at conventions, and attending NAPO-GA meetings I slowly began to learn (and am still acquiring new insights) about becoming a professional organizer. If learning the secrets I've uncovered along the way in marketing, business structure, client relationships, personal management, teaching techniques are of interest to you, I'd welcome you as a particpant in my mentoring program. I can help you go from a complete novice to a successful business owner and anywhere in between. You will enjoy personal attention, hands-on experiences, and networking activities...a very practical approach to business ownership and development.
