About Simply Productive
Don't wait for someday, start getting organized today.
Hi, I'm Sherry Borsheim
I’m able to see through the clutter and chaos to create efficient systems that work for you.
As a Professional Organizer, I work with online business owners who are overwhelmed with their cluttered spaces and digital chaos. They’re tired of wasting time searching for files and missing out on opportunities. I help them create efficient systems so they can run their businesses with focus and finally experience the freedom of an organized workspace.
MY STORY
I always knew that I wanted to start my own business but I didn’t know what I wanted to do. One day while jogging with a friend, I mentioned that I wanted to help people get organized. That same week I mentioned this to another close friend and she said it was something that I was great at. I’ve always been the person to find a way to organize out of clutter and chaos, creating efficient filing systems so staff can quickly find files. Even in my personal life, I’ve helped others find organization like a friend who needed help to organize her craft business.
Two weeks later, my friend mentioned that there was an organizer on TV and that I should read her book. When I did, I knew this was my dream business. For the next year, while still working full time, I worked nights and weekends developing my organizing systems while helping a friend organize her craft business and home. After leaving my dream job of 13 years, I took a transition job with a goal of starting my own business within 3 years. The company I worked for was also in transition and being bought out. I was more than ready to start my business but not ready to leave the security of a regular paycheck and benefits. My time was cut short only after 18 months due to cutbacks. This was exactly the push I needed and I like to call this my life ticket to pursue my dream of launching an organizing business.
I took a month off to enjoy the freedom of no agenda. Then got serious about starting my new business. I was terrified to speak at networking events and I knew I needed help creating a plan of action to market my business. Coaching was a fairly new industry at the time and my goal was to find a local business coach who could help me get over my fear of public speaking, then help me create joint ventures and referral alliances to grow my business. It wasn’t easy finding a business coach with a marketing background. After interviewing over a dozen coaches I hired Jennifer, this amazing business coach. It was a huge leap of faith to hire her at $500 a month when I had no money coming in.
Within 2 weeks, I had the confidence to ask my friend, with the craft business, for three referrals and she gave me two. Those two new clients were huge projects that turned into ongoing clients for over a decade.
