We help busy Southern Californians develop organizational systems in their homes and businesses so they can locate what they need, when they need it. We work with on-the-go families, new couples, business professionals and seniors in a very caring, non-judgemental manner. This is done either one-on-one for smaller projects, or in a team enviornment for large jobs. Being disorganized should not be a life sentence!
How did you start your company?
We had very little idea what it meant to actually own and operate your own company, but had the desire to learn, grow and spend time developing what we thought was a excellent concept. I was searching for a new career when a business colleague suggested I turn my passion into a business.

What or who inspired you to go into business for yourself?I have always worked hard,and smart, with a can-do attitude. I felt that other people had always accepted the credit for my hard work without much acknowledgement for my contributions. I figuered this was the time in my life to make this work and rise above that thinking. Fortunately, I've never had to look back. Business has been booming.
What were some of the startup hurdles you overcame?
Working one-on-one with clients is physically demanding. The lugging of boxes, coaching and follow up required a physical and emotional stamina I wasn't very clear about. We dive into how someone's head works, and how their decisions are made. I overcame this by working in crew enviornments, and carefully selecting what kinds of clients I was willing to work with. Along the way, I discovered a tremendous amount of information coming from the profession. I hired a blogging coach, and together, we become a transparent business. I share my work and organizing industry experiences on my blog (http://www.organizingla.com), writing about my projects organizing high-profile Hollywood housewives and the people who keep Hollywood running. As the business grew, we continously find new hurdles. One of the more recent problems was handling my accounting needs. That was in desperate need of an overhaul.
How has LegalZoom helped you in starting up your business?
My business was in place, I was working and earning a good living. But the formality of having my DBA, along with a checking account for my business, and a resale license so I could shopping for clients at design centers was non-existent. LegalZoom was the bomb! They got my DBA and resale license set up, fast. Within just a few weeks, I was able to cash checks that corporate clients wrote to me 1 year ago. So I guess you can say LegalZoom brought me $5,000 the moment by DBA was approved. LegalZoom also proved to me that a service can be fast and efficient. I received e-mails, phone calls and mail alerting me to LegalZoom issues I needed to handle. I was so happy with the professionalism and the turn-around! I've already referred one person for their DBA, and another for an LLC. Both are equally satisfied.
