Get Organized Pittsburgh

Americans are drowning in clutter! You have seen it on reality and how-to TV shows and as a result, the professional organizing industry has exploded exponentially. People need help simplifying their lives and literally digging themselves out of their mess!

The average U.S. executive wastes six weeks annually searching for important documents lost in clutter. The average American receives 49,060 pieces of mail in their lifetime; one third of it is junk mail and 23% of adults say they pay bills late (and incur fees) because they lose them.

This explosion has attracted a new generation of professional organizers who are highly capable, sophisticated, and business savvy. These new P.O.’s are coming to this industry in droves but often leave quickly without finding success. The truth is that the number of people in need of their talent is endless.

The solution? Training program that help people become “professional” from the start. “An untrained PO can do damage out there in the field. Organizing clients come to us in a vulnerable state and we need to train organizers to be ready”. This is how the PO PUSH program was born!

As a Professional Organizer, I have always tried to keep “sharpening the saw” and learning as much as I can about the best practices in organizing. I recognize how hard it is for clients to “make that call” for help and I feel it is a privilege to be part of their life changing process. After eight years in the industry I watch new organizers come and go. Some try it and just can’t make the business work for them. They are good at what they do but can’t find people to do it for and give up because they can’t make it profitable! Others begin with the idea that they know how to be organized and they just have to show everyone “their way”. Both of these mindsets/situations may lead to a very short and sometimes very negative experience for organizers and clients alike. This is where the idea for P.O. PUSH came from! My colleague Patty Kreamer and I designed a program to shorten the learning curve to become professional and profitable quickly and easily. There will be 7 targeted tele-seminar sessions and small group session with peers to further deepen the learning and develop a support team for participant right from the start. Two more levels are to follow: PO PUMP and PO POWER! I’m just thrilled to be finally able to have a vehicle to share ideas on this industry that I truly care about!
