“Janine's Insider’s Guide for New Organizers was such a helpful resource for me as I was starting my professional organizing business. Janine gave succinct & practical tips that helped shape the areas I wanted to prioritize first when building my business. Janine's guide gave me a true perspective of what it takes to build an organizing business. That has allowed me to have more realistic expectations and also reassured me that I was ready to take the next step to get started.”

How would it change your life to…
“I met Janine in 2009, back when I didn’t really know there even WAS an organizing industry. Through her guidance, I realized that I truly COULD create a successful business doing what I love and my business is thriving all these years later. I don’t think I would have been as successful as I am if I hadn’t met Janine. She genuinely wants to help everyone and she’s just phenomenal!”
— Terry C. / Organization in BloomThe New Organizer Bundle includes all five guides for $40.00
“I quit my corporate job in 2017 and was considering the organizing field, but wasn't sure it could really work out. I was thrilled to meet Janine through NAPO (she's a big deal in the St. Louis organizing scene — kind of the Fairy Godmother of organizing in St. Louis!) and her encouragement and guidance gave me the confidence to dive into my new career. She even suggested a niche for me that has worked perfectly! Nearly four years later, I'm running a successful business and feel like Janine helped me get there sooner.”

Are these guides right for me?
These guides won’t tell you the right way to run an organizing business — because there is no right way. What they will do is give you the confidence and clarity you need to understand that you CAN operate a successful, rewarding, and profitable organizing business.
Can you make a living from being a professional organizer?
That depends on what you consider to be ‘a living.’ There are numerous organizers out there making significant amounts of money and they don’t have a hit TV show. I built my own six-figure business from the ground up, have hired a variety of different employees and contractors, and successfully stayed in business for over 16 years. So yes, you can certainly make a living as an organizer.
How do I know if my business will be successful?
There’s no sure-fire way to answer that question but I can tell you that if I can do it, YOU can do it! Running a successful organizing business requires some grit, a lot of determination, and many other factors that I explain in detail in the guides. I’ve been in the trenches. I’ve worked in hoarded homes and in million-dollar mansions. And these guides are a compilation of the things I learned over the years and wish were available to me when I was getting started back in 2005.
“Janine is SO good at helping new organizers. When I was starting out, I felt pretty unsure about many things. Janine mentored me and gave me the confidence to ask for a rate that I was worth. Her nonjudgmental suggestions were so helpful and she taught me so much about the field and working with clients. She truly has a gift for teaching you what you need to know about the business of organizing!”

Meet Janine
I’m Janine Adams, a CPO® and owner of Peace of Mind Organizing® since 2005. I’m passionate about the organizing industry and truly see it as a way to transform people’s lives — because I’ve seen it happen over and over. I remember what it was like when I was starting out and I’ve mentored many new organizers over the years. When I noticed that I was asked the same questions from most beginners, I was inspired to write it all down in an effort to support the profession. That’s how the Insider’s Guides for New Organizers got started.
I’ve been very active in the organizing industry and have amassed a fabulous network of colleagues and friends. I’ve served on the board of the Institute for Challenging Disorganization, was elected President of the St. Louis Chapter of NAPO, the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (three times!), and appeared on TV shows like A&E’s Hoarders and TLC’s Hoarding: Buried Alive, as well as morning talk shows like Great Day St. Louis. I’ve been a blogger for Rubbermaid, SentrySafe, and Meori, and partnered with the popular personal assistant app Springpad back in the day. I co-host a popular podcast on letting go of perfectionism, called Getting to Good Enough.
That may sound impressive (and perhaps daunting), but I’m here to tell you that if I can do it — so can you! I’m a normal person just like everyone else and if you love people as much as you love organizing, this may just be the right profession for you.
