President's Message |
It’s All About Business at
NAPO-LA
By Chris McKenry Get It Together
LA! and NAPO-LA President
What’s Your Marketing Plan?
“Get Organized Month” - Will you be taking
advantage of the marketing blitz our industry will
experience in January? Retail chains will be promoting
organizing products during the yearly January “GO Month”
event. NAPO-LA’s participation in this annual event
helps a local charity clear its clutter in order to gain
more productivity. This year we are partnering with our
associate member 1-800-Got
Junk? What will your organizing firm do to take
advantage of all the “hype”?
One idea is to
consider planning a community educational program at
your local library, which usually has meeting rooms
available at no cost. Possible topics include a workshop
for “Busy Moms” or one for “The Overwhelmed Home
Office”. Market your business by submitting articles to
local newspapers, or see if your school’s PTA would like
a short presentation. The possibilities are
endless.
What Is Your Professional Plan?
Leadership Forum - Would you attend a
corporate training program designed to take the nation’s
top executives to the next level in their careers? As a
perk of membership in NAPO’s Los Angeles chapter,
members will have the opportunity to experience this
training by Bill Murray, CEO of RockSolid
Achievements .
Bill will be our quest speaker
on November 27 and will provide an introduction to the
January 13, four-hour corporate training program. The
Leadership Forum is free to chapter members who
register in advance. More information to follow.
What Is Your Educational Plan?
Certification - NAPO is sponsoring a
national certification program for professional
organizers to be governed by an independent group and
operated as a separate entity. Eligibility requirements
can be found at www.napo.net.
The first test will be administered at NAPO’s
annual conference in Minneapolis on April 25, 2007.
Please confirm that all requirements for applying for
certification are correct as audits will be made. If
incorrect information is discovered, the applicant will
be barred from ever taking the test.
At NAPO-LA,
it is all about your business and your
success.

innovative organizing products, technologies and ideas,
as well as explores the “how-to” of increasing
productivity, killing clutter, and reducing anxiety
precipitated by the exhilarating pace of living in
L.A.

Award” from the Los Angeles Organizing Awards, John
is a member of NAPO-LA. He has served on the NAPO-LA

Golden Circle Interview Series

Kristine Oller Promotes Niche
Marketing
By Deborah Kawashima creativeOrganizer and
NAPO-LA Director of Marketing
Kristine Oller started personalized
organization in 1999 as a generalist until she
gradually found her specialty: Helping creative
entrepreneurs and performing artists with hands-on
organizing and career strategies. Kristine writes a
monthly column, “Organizing for Actors,” in
Backstage, the national trade newspaper for
actors.
“I can organize anything!” Sound familiar? All POs
start out as generalists taking any kind of job to
discover what we really love to do. You can certainly
build a business as a generalist, but the strength of
our industry and our NAPO chapter members is that the
majority of POs become specialists.
“Figuring out your specialty takes experience, but
the sooner you hone in on what you are great at doing,
the faster your business will grow,” suggests Oller.
“Don’t be afraid to limit your business by declaring
your area of expertise.”
~Common Misconceptions~ Afraid to take
the leap and declare your specialty?
By making yourself a specialist, you can never be a
generalist. Not true. Being a specialist gets you
jobs as a generalist.
Specializing will scare prospective clients away.
Not true. It will attract more of the clients you
want.
You think you will lose business if you specialize.
Not true. By being a specialist, you will
actually get more work.
~Branding is all about niche marketing~
Your specialty can either be a type of organizing or
a type of client. What organizing category works with
your unique strengths? Which clients do you enjoy most?
Make memorable “first time” impressions and let
people know, in a clear and simple way, how they can use
you. “You need to shine a light on your strengths so
others POs or potential clients can be attracted to
you,” states Oller.
~Declaring your
Specialty~ “Specializing is the bait, the worm on
the hook, and once people know you are tasty, they’ll
spread the word and you will be wanted for everything!”
explains Oller. Here’s how niche marketing really works:
You put out a very specific message that penetrates
through all the noise to attract the type of clients you
want. Branding your niche.
Clients that like you spread the word and it becomes
advertising for you as a generalist.
Word-of-mouth-marketing.
You get clients who are not your target market and
jobs that are not your specialty. Specializing
gets you jobs as a generalist.
~Benefits of Specializing~ By marketing
yourself as a specialist you will be able to distinguish
yourself from the crowd, thereby attracting the jobs you
want.
Learn the power of referrals. Take the opportunity
during chapter meetings to get to know your fellow POs.
“Express your specialty.” POs will think of you first if
you tell them you are really great at something
specific. The more we declare our strengths,” says
Oller, “the stronger NAPO becomes.”
When you’re not comfortable organizing something or
don’t want to do it, refer it to another PO. How
do you know whom to refer it to? By knowing the
specialties of other POs!
NOTE: This article is one in an
on-going series of interviews with Golden Circle
members. It is just one of the many ways veteran members
give back to NAPO- LA.

Golden Circle Column |
Simplify Your Own
Holidays
By Marcia Ramsland Life Management
Skills and a Golden Circle Member
Being a professional organizer doesn't guarantee
that the holidays will be any less stressful for us than
for other people, but we do have a better chance of
putting good systems in place.
My motto is: If you do anything more than once,
organize it and simplify it! That's so true of the
holidays since they show up every November and December
right on schedule.
Here are some tips you might personally use:
~Company's Coming. If you have people
coming to stay with you, there are two important things
to do: keep them fed and keep them moving! Plan menus
and activities you personally enjoy - or send the guests
off with directions to a local favorite.
~A Holiday Notebook. You probably do this for
your clients all year long, but make sure you have a
holiday notebook for yourself. Keep gift lists, holiday
dinner menus, receipts, and Christmas/Hanukkah card
lists together. Pull it out year after year to simplify
your planning.
~A Holiday Gift Wrap Center. This includes
seven items never to be moved from that spot: Scotch
tape, scissors, pen, gift cards, wrapping paper, fresh
tissue paper, plus ribbons and bows. Coordinate the
colors to minimize wrapping clutter.
~A Personal Challenge. For example, organize
your photos from the past year to put on the coffee
table to share at the holidays. Everyone will be
pleased. And that way you won't get behind on photo
organizing if you display a new book each year.
~Maximize your limited social time. When you
attend a party or holiday event, arrange to meet friends
for a meal beforehand or dessert afterwards.
~Brighten up your calendar (and your outlook).
Use holiday stickers or write special events with a red
pen.
~Mark your calendar. Set 2-hour appointments
for preparations; e.g., Thursdays-bake,
Fridays-decorate, Saturdays-shop & clean.
~Enlist a "Holiday Buddy." Call each weekend
and plan for the coming week.
~Multi-task. While making dinner, have your
kids or spouse stuff envelopes and lick stamps.
~Buy gifts in the same category. Different
sweaters or favorite restaurant gift certificates for
everyone; CD's or books for gifts to be mailed.
~Simplify your shopping. Buy everything
on-line or at one mall.
~E-mail a short, multiple choice gift list to the
people you're stuck on. Ask what they would REALLY
like to get this year.
~To get you through the season, buy a novel to
curl up with at day's end.
~Savor one event or conversation each day by
jotting it down in a holiday journal of "The Best Things
that Happened to Me This Season."
Marcia Ramsland's gift-giving tips and her
holiday notebook are currently featured in Better Homes
and Gardens special magazine, CHRISTMAS IDEAS.
Her newest book, “Simplify Your Time", is
available at bookstores and from her web site,
OrganizingPro.com.

NAPO-LA in the Schools |
School Program Goes
National
By Deborah
Kawashima creativeOrganizer and Director of
Marketing
The NAPO in the Schools program is going
national! The president of NAPO, Barry Izsak, has
announced that the NAPO Board voted in favor of the
school program going national. This action is being
taken as part of NAPO’s strategic plans for the next few
years to focus on NAPO’s educational theme by bringing
awareness and empowerment to the public.
This is very exciting news! I have been asked to
chair the task force for NAPO in the Schools (the new
program name) and will be in charge of developing this
program for students in elementary grades through high
school. I look forward to making this a dynamic
nationwide program for both NAPO and those students who
will ultimately benefit.
The newly revised “School Presentation Packet”
has been sent out to volunteers of NAPO in the Schools
and will help organizers with their school
presentations. A teleconference will be scheduled to
review this packet and answer questions.
Karen Stark, Your Organized Life, has
accepted the position of schedule coordinator for NAPO
in the Schools. She will keep track of all schools
involved with the program. Volunteers with scheduled
schools please email karen@yourorganizedlife.net

Golden Circle Update |
Golden Circle Meets in the South
Bay
By Ann Gambrell Creative-Time
Plus and Golden Circle Liason
The Los Angeles area Golden Circle met recently
at the new Torrance home of Beverly Clower. Christine
Reiter was the Co-Host. Sixteen members enjoyed a great
brunch and a time of networking and sharing information.
The 2007 meeting schedule was discussed and members
volunteered to write articles for the Golden Circle
column in the chapter newsletter. The column is
dedicated to bringing educational information to the
membership. Ideas for 2007 quarterly meetings included a
field trip to the Container Store and sharing
client/business challenges.
Chris McKenry encouraged our involvement in the
upcoming Awards Event and suggested ways in which we can
participate.
Jean Furuya, of the MET committee, discussed
volunteering and educational opportunities for members.
Ann Thurley brought information on a community cancer
project.
Members were encouraged to submit organizing tips,
either by email or at each chapter meeting, to be
published in the newsletter and on the NAPO-LA website.
Chris Reiter will bring the Tips Project information to
each chapter meeting.
The recent LA chapter Golden Circle panel program was
well received. Thanks to Donna McMillan, Beverly Clower,
Diana Ryan and Marcy Melton for an excellent discussion.
Members volunteered for the 2007 panel program and
possible topics were discussed.

Mobile File Travels with
You
By Barb Schmit Associate Member,
Esselte
One of Esselte’s most useful and colorful items
is the Pendaflex Mobile File. It’s been around awhile
but deserves another look.
What makes the Mobile File so useful is its ability
to pack up and travel with you – a mobile office!
And the six bright colors - blue, green, yellow,
orange, pink and purple – can’t help but organize you or
your client. For instance, how about assigning a folder
to each of the kids, yourself, your significant other?
Or use one folder for each day of the work week with the
last one for the weekend? Keep track of bills, projects,
forms, anything that is used in the workplace. Soon you
will know where everything is just by the color - no
need to even read the labels!
Use the versatility of the Mobile File to
your advantage. It can hang on a wall, over a door or
inside a cubicle. Vertical space is “free” so why not
use it? Stop piling things on the desk or floor and use
the walls to help you get organized.

Tips Program
Delete Emails Faster In order to
quickly scan your bulk mail box for "legitimate mail"
that has been placed in there mistakenly by your ISP,
click on the "subject" column to have the subject lines
appear in alphabetical order. It will allow you to scan
your bulk mail more quickly for legitimate mail before
bulk deletion. It is amazing how quickly you can scan
when there are so many repetitions of a subject line!
The valid ones are much easier to pick out.

Reiter Time Strategies
A.D.D. Friendly Product When working
with ADD clients consider using an over-the-door, clear
shoe hanger/holder to hold papers. The pockets can be
labeled “Bills to Pay,” “School Schedules,” etc. Other
pockets can hold keys, change and some of those many
things that collect on kitchen counter tops and
dressers. Clients love the labeled pockets and the fact
that they can see through the clear plastic. Very A.D.D
friendly feature.

Quintana The Simple Organizer
About the TIPS Program: NAPO-LA has
instigated a TIPS Program managed by the chapter's
Golden Circle members. Ann Gambrell is the chair and
invites all chapter members to submit their organizing
tips via email, postal mail or on index cards that will
be available at the monthly chapter meetings for deposit
into the “Organizing Tips” box.
TIPS are requested in two categories:
"Tips from Pros" are organzing tips for clients/the
public.
"Tips of the Trade" are tips for organizers to use
in their businesses.
When submitting TIPS, you are invited (optional)
to include your name, business name and contact
information. This will serve to promote you when the
client/public TIPS are posted on the NAPO-LA website's
home page.
Email your TIPS to gambrellann@aol.com
