Episode #122 How to Become a Professional Organizer

You guys are probably here, right? Because you wanna learn and I'm gonna share with you my exact strategies to have that freedom, to create the life you want without needing to get a job or work for somebody else. Okay. Now some of you're probably wonder. Who am I, why am I qualified to teach this? So for those of you who don't know me, my name's Barbie, Joe.

I am a mom of five and a farmer's wife and a professional luxury home organizer. Now it wasn't always the case about three and a half years ago. I found myself standing in line. At a government office waiting to apply for assistance. You see, as a farmer's wife, we typically prepare for a bad crop.

Working for mother nature is not the easiest thing. I'm sure some of you have had bosses that seem like so impossible, right? So impossible to work for. Try working for mother nature. Talk about unpredictable. So as such, we're usually prepared for a bad year. That's just, you know, we just expect that to happen.

So we are typically prepared for a bad year, so we will have savings to fall back on in case of a bad year. Right? Well, we had two bad years back to back and it wiped us out. And that's when I found myself standing in line at a government office, you know, and it, for me, it was kind of like, The walk of shame that we kind of were at that level in life that we needed to ask for help.

Right. It was so humbly. Have you ever felt that way where you just finally have to like give in and ask for help? No one likes to admit they need help. Sometimes we need help. Right. And if I wanted to feed my family, I needed to ask for help. And that's when I decided right there. Right then and there standing in that line, I decided it was time for me to do something.

I needed to step up to the plate and help. I didn't know what, I didn't know how, but I knew I needed to do something. So have you ever felt so determined to. Jump in and help somebody, but you have no idea how to help them. No idea what to offer. No idea how you're gonna save the day, but you wanna save the day.

Well, that's how I felt I had that determination and that drive. And so I was gonna figure it out. So this is how this came to be. I, uh, actually saw an ad online for a free session with a business coach. I was like, I'll do it. So I signed up for this free session and I remember in the first conversation, the first sentence she asked me was, so you wanna start a business.

What's something you could see yourself doing for the next 10 years. And I had, and that I was like, well, I don't know. And I looked around my surroundings and I was sitting in the middle of a living room covered in boxes. We were moving. We were in the middle of a move. We had just moved from the farm to the city.

We didn't know anybody. We had, yes, we had family, but we were so new to this place. We were in the middle of a transition. Everything was in, you know, disarray and yet I was calm. I was calm and. And I remember looking around, seeing my kids running everywhere, seeing stuff, every boxes everywhere. And I was like, huh, you know what?

I'm actually thriving in this situation. Most people would be going crazy, right? Like, I don't even know where to start. I am drowning in stuff and chaos, and this is just overwhelming, but I was actually very calm and collected because I had a system in. Yeah, it didn't look beautiful at the moment, but I knew where everything was.

I knew what we needed to access and how to get to it and where to get to it. So we could function our life our day to day life. And that's when it clicked. And I was like, you know what? I'm really good at organizing. And that business coach said, there you go, there's your business. That's what you should build your business on.
