Becoming a Professional Organizer

If you believe there’s a place for everything and everything has its place, make that philosophy work for you by becoming a professional organizer.
 
An organizer helps clients determine what belongings they need to keep, and where to keep them. Sounds simple, but the amount of clutter in most homes suggest that it is harder than it seems.

A professional organizer will walk into a home and help determine the root causes for disorganization.
It may simply be a lack of space. It may be a lack of systems in place for putting away belongings. It may be an over attachment to items that have outlived their usefulness.

It may be a deeper psychological issue that causes hoarding. Becoming a professional organizer requires a fundamental understanding of why people are disorganized.

Whatever the case, the organizer will work with the client and help tailor a way of managing time and belongings that is made for that individual.

How to Organize Your New Business
Since there are no licenses or legal requirements to start a business as a professional organizer, it’s easy to enter the field. It helps, of course, if you yourself are organized. Some home organizers are naturally organized, but others may have had to learn those skills. Both types of people can succeed in this business.
If you’re new to the field, look for classes at your local community college on organizing. Also, consider psychology classes. Why? Three reasons (at least)…

First of all, sometimes the need for clutter speaks to other psychological issues, such as chronic disorganization, which may require different helping strategies.

Second, clutter in itself can be depressing and stressful, so understanding how to work with clients who have this mind frame can be helpful.

And third, as an organizer, you are helping people change their way of life, which can also be a stress-inducing situation, no matter how positive the outcome.

If you’ve been organizing your home and your friends’ homes for years, consider getting professional accreditation. The National Association of Professional Organizers and the Certified Professional Organizers offer information and certification processes, which could increase your credibility.

Determine what your area of strength is in order to help define your niche. While home organizers typically help work with personal space, many business people need help with office organization.

There are also niches for garage or kitchen organization, organizing for an estate sale, or special events. You could build your business as the “new home” organizer, helping combined households organize for a unified start. You could market your services as a great wedding present.

Find customers through your neighborhood and local affiliations. Set up a booth at a home show. Give a class at a community college. Set up a website with tips on quick organizing strategies.

What You’ll Need For Becoming A Professional Organizer 
Fortunately, your experience and ideas will be the majority of tools you’ll need. For business purposes, of course, you’ll need whatever systems keep YOU organized, business phone and computer system for billing and ordering supplies.

Business cards are also essential. You may also want to have a digital camera or digital video recorder so you can show before and after pictures of your projects.

When becoming a professional organizer, you’ll need to understand your clients, and figure out what type of organization will work for each one. If it works for them, both of you will be successful.
