Neatness Pays

I have known a couple of folks who started businesses offering their services as professional organizers. This article at StartupJournal shows how much financial opportunity and satisfaction that there may be for this type of business.
“‘I keep doing it because I love it; it’s instant gratification,’ says Sally Allen, owner of A Place For Everything LLC in Golden, Colo. Maria Gracia, founder of Get Organized Now! in Watertown, Wis., says, ‘It’s a very rewarding field emotionally, and it can also be financially rewarding.’ And Barry Izsak, president of Arranging It All in Austin, Texas, concludes, ‘My life is so good. I never dreamed I’d be doing something that is so easy for me, and making so much money.'”
For many of these organizers, their businesses are growing much larger than they at first imagined. Many report that they are adding subcontractors and offering products to go along with their organizing (storage systems, books they have developed on how to keep organized, etc.).
As Barry Moltz likes to say, the best business opportunities are those that solve other people’s pain. I guess too much stuff is quite painful to a lot of people these days!
