In 2018, I want you to start valuing and looking at your time differently. Who you spend your time with, what you spend you time on, and how you want to spend your time in the future. In today's podcast, I am answering the question, "How did I purposefully create the Organize 365 business and organized life that I am living right now?" It is true. I am fulfilled, satisfied, and debt free, but it hasn't always been like this. It has been a journey. For me, the change came when I hit 40. I think milestone birthdays are like a window of opportunity to think about how we spend our time and money, and to make shifts to propel us through the next decade. In this podcast, I share a few key transitions in my thought process, and how I spent my time and money in the last 6 years that really were the catalyst for this change. I shifted my focus from thinking about our income needs to how I wanted to spend my time. I focused on hiring help both at home and in my business. I expanded my thoughts beyond how to be a great professional organizer to how to change the organization industry. Finally, this past fall I reflected on all of these changes and created the...  Organize 365 Mission, Vision & Values Mission: To inspire, motivate, and teach busy women to take back their home and paper with practical and doable organizing systems and programs that work. Vision: Through research, targeted surveys, and data analysis, Organize 365 will bring to light the organizational needs of the homeowner to shape and develop the discussion about the "stuff" in American homes through podcast conversation and book-thought leadership. As a trusted leader in home and paper organization, Organize 365 will be the "go-to" resource for busy women, future professional organizers and home-organizational brands, and the media. Organize 365 will help the homeowner finally get organized with home and paper organization courses, products that combine teaching and application of practical organization principles. Values: We value the power of positivity. Our words, mindset, and actions shape our reality. Organize 365 uses empowering words to shape personal change. We build community. In community, everyone can learn to be organized, action is easier and happens exponentially. Organize 365 believes organization is a learnable skill. We live life in abundance. Resources are not limited, but limitless. Through collaboration, Organize 365 connects the right people and resources for maximum benefit and sustainability. We believe in transformational freedom. As you let go of one thing, you are open to receiving the next. We strive to unlock your life's purpose through the process of decluttering, organizing, and increased productivity. I hope you have enjoyed learning a little about the roots of Organize 365! Ask yourself this... If I could do, be, and have anything in the world and I didn’t have to worry about all the things that I’m worrying about, what would that look like?   Follow me on Facebook and on Instagram – I’m currently addicted to Instagram Stories!
