5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Resource for New and Established Professional Organizers, November 19, 2009
This review is from: Get Rich Organizing: The Professional Organizer Survival Guide To Launch, Manage, and Grow a Profitable Business (Paperback)
"Get Rich Organizing" contains a wealth of up-to-date information on working in the organizing industry, including certification, membership in industry associations, professional organizer specialties, desired characteristics, and even what's involved in a typical day. In addition, it covers topics that are important for all businesses, such as writing a business plan, setting fees, legal and taxation issues, as well as marketing and branding.

That in itself would make it a useful reference, but the author does not stop there.

The second part of the book is devoted to specific aspects of working with clients. Many of the books I've read do not address the organizing process, assuming that you wouldn't become a professional organizer unless you already had organizing skills, but there is a world of difference between organizing for family and friends while you hang out together and organizing for strangers who are paying you good money for your expertise! This book will help to prepare you for a wide range of organizing projects and challenging clients and help you avoid embarrassing or costly mistakes.

The thorough information is supplemented by a dozen forms you can adapt as needed for your own business, for needs assessments, letters of agreement, and much more.

Most chapters include exercises to encourage you to put the information into practice, and in some cases the assignment is to prepare a workshop based on the information in the chapter. I especially like this approach, because having material already developed means you'll be able to accept when someone asks you to speak on short notice.

I have to admit that I was shocked when I first saw the price of the book, but now that I've read it and seen how packed it is with valuable information and resources, I am confident that it will help you earn back the cover price many times over.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect tool to start your organizing business, November 17, 2009
By Megan Spears (Hood River, Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Get Rich Organizing: The Professional Organizer Survival Guide To Launch, Manage, and Grow a Profitable Business (Paperback)
If I had to sum it up in one sentence, I would say that "this book needs to be on every new organizers book shelf!"

Getting Rich has not a whole lot to do with money, it has to do with getting a rich experience from being a professional organizer and giving the richest experience for your clients (and yourself). The money just comes along with the experiences.

Anne Blumer, CPO shares her passion and dedication throughout the book and it's clear she is good at what she does. She mentioned in the book early on, that when she started her business, no such book existed. I couldn't agree more, that this book would have saved me a lot of time and energy when I started my business.

With her vast knowledge of the industry and as the owner of the Professional Organizing Institute, she shares a wealth of information on running an organizing business. Who wouldn't want to tap into that? She examines every step needed in starting a business, as well as gives you the tools needed to get right out into the field and properly assess your clients needs.

Everyone has the ability to be an organizer, but running an organizing business is an entirely different story. Anne really can equip you with everything needed to run your business and then some!

Great job Anne! As a five year business owner and professional organizer, I was able to get a lot of great ideas and information that I too can implement into my business... A great investment for any professional organizer starting out!

5.0 out of 5 stars organizing now makes sense to me, February 21, 2010
This review is from: Get Rich Organizing: The Professional Organizer Survival Guide To Launch, Manage, and Grow a Profitable Business (Paperback)
I like the way the author thinks and speaks to my naturally disorganized mind. I am overly organized in the nonuseful areas and vice versa! I never knew that filing could be applied to the home as well as the office and I now can find the essentials! I was so inspired that I found a web site on the internet that I can use for the "location of important documents." Good for me and my children to know! I can also recommend Anne's other book which is down-loadable from her site: "4 Weeks to Reclaim your time"!
