This review is from: How to Start a Home-Based Professional Organizing Business (Home-Based Business Series) (Paperback)
I checked this book out from my local library. Because it has been such a great resource I kept renewing it - over and over. I finally broke down and bought my own personal copy to keep handy. Dawn covers evaluating your readiness to be an entrepreneur to determining business growth strategies. Similar to Sara Pederson's book but more thorough. Great tips and forms to get you started.

It covers the basics. I also bought Everything You Need to Know About a Career as a Professional Organizer by Sara Pedersen and found that to be easier to read (more to the point) and more inspiring.

This book is awesome! It has just about everything you need to get started as a professional organizer. It walks you though everything, step by step, from deciding if this is the right business for you, to choosing a business name, setting up your office, to your first client. It has lost of different forms and stuff that you can copy and modify to suit your needs. I love the fact that she doesn't just say, do this, don't do that. Instead, she gives options and explanations of each, making it easy for you to decide what is best for you. I do recommend reading other books like this, if you decide to go ahead and start a business, just to get more ideas and another point of view, but this is the one I keep referring back to most. Clear, concise, and easy to read...not all dry and boring. Everything is covered, and she adds little anecdotes from her own and other organizers experiences to give a sense of what its really like. Highly recommended!!!
P.S. I started a business using this book as a guide...2 weeks later I have my First client!!! Thanks, Dawn!!!
