Hi, I am Linda, The Neat Consultant
I was given a gift for organizing and decluttering and I wanted to share my talents with the world. So The Neat Consultant was created. It was a skill I was born with just like my hair color. I have been organizing and decluttering all my life. What drives me is helping others. Those skills and that drive made me successful as a project manager in a technical field for over 25 years. Then the time came to look for a new opportunity. Whenever one of my friends or someone in my family needed organizing and decluttering , they would call me. The thought of charging money for this service hadn’t occurred to me. I had never thought of it as a profession. Then someone, who needed decluttering and organizing, said to me “I will pay you if you will help me”. The light bulb lite up in my head.
My first reaction was to say ‘you don’t have to pay me’. However, I said ‘I have a few things going on, can I get back to you?’. It took about a month to really think it over and do a lot of research. I studied processes, methodologies, tips and tools of the trade, which I still do continuously. I knew that I could declutter and organize but could I work with this person. We have a personnel relationship and that brought another dynamic into the situation. A word of caution…Friends and family are your support system but before you accept their help, be sure that the dynamics of your relationship won’t interfere with you reaching your goals.
I felt that if I could successfully work with this person, then I could work with anyone. The project was extremely successful so I became The Neat Consultant with a decluttering and organizing business. I love using my skills and experience to help my clients realize their goals of decluttering and organizing.
