Introducing.... Clever Container

About 5 years ago I had a great idea. As I was in the first year of my business I thought about doing home parties based on selling organizing products. After getting many professional and personal opinions on this idea I reneged. Well, there was another professional organizer who apparently had the same great idea and took action on her thought. She found a business partner and the two ladies started a company called Clever Container. I signed up last month and I am consultant #425.

I was thrilled to learn about their business venture because I am an "organizing product junkie". I could spend my own leisure time in places like the Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond and Target or online at www.seejanework.com or www.stacksandstacks.com. Buying the right products for my clients and for visual demonstrations at my presentations is second nature in my line of work.

Discovering appropriate organizing solutions and the right tools (PRODUCTS) for an individual to help them succeed is a POSSE priority. Now in conjunction with Clever Container, I can sell many items directly to my clients without either one of us driving down Rt. 17 or surfing the net.

It is also going to be FUN teaching organizing tricks and tips in the relaxed atmosphere of someone's home instead of the classroom setting. Besides having a professional organizer (me!) for your organizing pleasure, there are specific rewards for the host of an at home party. Also, if you are interested in hosting a Clever Container party do not hesitate to contact me at jm@POSSEPartnersLLC.com or by phone at 201-406-9643.

 

 

POSSE'S PEN!

 

How would you feel if you had an outlet to express your frustrations with any issue related to "getting organized"? We have one, it's called POSSE's Pen.

Back in the spring of 2009 POSSE created the idea of an "Organizational Support Group" that includes a half an hour of teaching on a particular topic and then an hour round robin so that each person has the opportunity to:

1. Express her/his struggles with a particular organizational issue

2. Speak to the group on the topic of the day

3. Give tips, comments and suggestions to others who would like them

4. Ask a professional organizer or other group members' specific organizing questions.

The concept is simple, we meet quarterly so that you can spend some time with people who are either frustrated with how to keep order in their lives OR want to improve upon the skills they already own.

The emotional atmosphere of the Pen is one of fellowship. At the end of the meeting one can be assigned a "wrangler". This is a person that helps motivate you with your goals prior to the next gathering. We find that having an accountability partner helps us to succeed faster.

Jean Marie Herron leads the group with a discussion of a previously chosen topic and gives the attendees a mini-workshop of information, examples, ideas and solutions on how to implement those techniques in your home.

Our POSSE's Pen Mission is:

"To learn valuable organizing skills and to provide support for each other in a confidential group setting where one is free to express her/his own dysfunction with any issue related to organizing."
