Testimonial for Kitchen and Menu Planning Organizing Class at Kankakee Community College – March 2009

I just wanted to thank you for giving me motivation and the knowledge to start that awful project.! I started on Friday and completed Sunday around 5:30pm. I spent a total of 13 hours on it! We have a very large kitchen and now the whole family can appreciate it for how great it is!

Excerpt of a letter from one of my audience members at the IACTE Conference:

I wanted to tell you again what a great job you did for all of us at the conference. It really made us all aware of how important it is to actually DO something with what we've learned at the conference. It provided just the challenge we all need to hold ourselves accountable to applying what we've learned. I know you said you are not a teacher, but you sure taught all of us teachers a valuable lesson! Great job Beth!! (We all LOVED how you let Tom Hott know that you were aware that he wasn't writing his goals like you had instructed all of us to do. That was SO funny!)

Beth, know that I believe that you have what it takes to be very successful in your business, both in helping people become more organized, but in your speaking endeavors as well. For not having spoken to a group this size before, you sure gave it a lot of thought and were very well prepared. I could tell that when you planned what you thought was important to say, you actually tried to see our lives as teachers from OUR perspective, not from yours. THAT, my dear is such a valuable trait to have, and you definitely have it! Furthermore, you seem to understand what we teachers go through in a day, not only at school, but at home as well. You have the ability to understand the challenges that teachers face, so you were able to give us practical suggestions and solutions that are specific to teachers' needs. THIS is what sets you apart from other

I have heard Beth speak on numerous occasions and always come away with at least one thing that I can start doing immediately that will assist me in my goal of being organized. She is well-spoken, witty and entertaining and has a great way of not making you feel bad about your clutter. She inspires you to try simple things that really make a difference.

I’ve been on a deep quest for organization in my life. With in the first 2 years of our new home, I had 2 babies (one at a time, 3 kids in 4 ½ years), started my own business, and my husband changed jobs twice!

It takes a certain characteristic to admit you NEED an organizer. In today’s day when we are all trying to be “Super-mom, Super-wife, Super-business owner” you have to step back sometimes and admit you need help!!

Beth was just the help I needed. I first hired Beth about a year ago to do my home office. Since, she has done magic with not only my office but my husband’s office, our storage room, mail clutter, and most importantly has given me peace & serenity in my bedroom closet! For mothers day my husband was going to buy me a new closet unit. I was concerned about the cost, and thought maybe Beth could help. I actually really wanted the new closet set. Beth in her calm and understanding ways showed me it wasn’t the “hardware” in the closet that wasn’t working it was the “soft wear”! All we needed to add was a shoe rack! I CAN’T TELL YOU HOW MUCH MONEY SHE SAVED ME THAT DAY!!!

Another household organization task that I can’t seem to do is put away the clothes as our kids out grow them. Maybe it’s a trip down memory lane that makes the project take much longer than I can afford. Beth hauled off all my plastic bags of clothes and came back with them sorted and in bins. Now they are neatly stored and ready to go if anyone needs them!

I think of Beth everyday (as I enter my closet) and thank God for her gift that she has cultivated and shares. She absolutely knows what her unique ability is and has the determination to share it with everyone she meets. Hiring Beth has allowed me to focus on my family and my business rather than something that’s not one of my strengths.

I consider Beth one of my good friends now. I look forward to her maintenance visits. I understand not everyone needs maintenance, I guess I just love the feeling of a well organized household!

Dear Beth, the real Joe Organizer,

Beth, My mother and I would like to thank you for your outstanding service. I now realize that I could NEVER have accomplished moving my mother alone. You have the right combination of professional skills and tender loving care to pull off moving my very reluctant mother into her retirement home. You managed my mother doubts about moving in the first place, together with the practical aspects of moving. I am convinced that your desire to do the right thing carried the day and resulted with both a smooth move and a happy mother!

I would also like to observe that your skills will translate into helping small, and I am sure, large business owners. It has been my experience that most business people are very good at a few things and not so good at a lot of things. The help you provide the business owner buys him or her TIME--the commodity we need the most and yet seem to waste. I have owned small businesses for over 30 years and I am sure I could have done much better had I taken advantage of your organization skills.

If you need a reference anyone can call me. Just remember that I live in San Diego.

I will be eternally grateful for your help with my office. It's beautiful! I spend so much time in it now. Whenever I need something, I know just where to find it. After using this room as a catchall room, it's looks and feels good to use it as my office. I am also grateful for how helpful you were shopping for the items I needed. With my mobility being so limited, trusting you to do my shopping was a huge weight from my shoulders.

I am happy to say that my business is totally organized now and productivity has been increasing ever since. I wish you many blessings with your business. You have a true gift for organizing and I will refer you to everyone I know!

Beth Randall of Joe Organizer spent 5 hours with me as we decluttered my very messy basement. Beth gave direction to the project and the end result was a series of shelves for various collections; ie. Slides and projector, travel stuff, camping equipment, etc; and all were labeled for easy future access.

The storage area is easy to maintain now and I feel new energy to tackle other projects because this one was so successful.

As I was straightening my office today, I breathed a Thank you prayer for the day you helped me organize it. It only took me 7 minutes to put everything away. This was un-believable considering the client who just left was a perfectionist & I had a great deal of supplies & examples to be put away.

"After moving into our 2-story home, we had yet to park either of our two vehicles in the 2-car attached garage. The problem was, like any other family, we had collected too much stuff at our previous home over the years and did not do a good job of eliminating "the stuff" during the move to the new house. After joking with Beth one day about our garage, she jumped at the opportunity to help.

We agreed to have her over for an inspection and quote. We were ecstatic to have a non-biased professional over to help us reorganize the garage. Beth was not attached to our things like we were, therefore, she helped us put things into perspective. She advised us to build new shelving, properly label everything for it's proper place and helped us eliminate a great deal of things we no longer needed. It just helped having her there to ask for advise and direction.

She has a lot of valuable organizational ideas !! She works very hard and does what she says she's going to do. She helped us stay on task and delivers the results we needed. We now have an organized garage!! We can get both vehicles in and my four kids can find what they're looking for.

With the help from Joe Organizer, we have new rules now about how we clean and organize our garage. We now want to have Beth help us reorganize our basement. We'd recommend Joe Organizer to anyone who needs a professional to help make their business or personal lives easier and more productive."

"....She will give some timely tips and suggestions for keeping your home and/or office decluttered and organized. Beth worked with me in my office last December and it has helped me IMMENSELY! Although she will cater to any area you need assistance in, she has worked with several Mary Kay Consultants and Directors and knows a lot of how our business works....

.... Most everyone I know struggles with "clutter" in their life to some degree, so I'm sure your guests will enjoy hearing Beth and being part of our wonderful Mary Kay night!.....

....Even if you are totally organized, you will still learn some things that could be helpful in your quest to move forward in life!"

It is said that people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Beth Randall definitely came into mine for a reason: to be my professional organizing coach and mentor. Through an almost serendipitous meeting, I quickly realized that this was a person from whom I could learn crucial skills and who genuinely wanted to see me succeed. I liked her instantly, and the longer I know her, the more I respect her.

Beth is a great combination of professionalism, knowledge, focus and compassion. She has created a coaching program and manual that provide great detail on the necessary steps to take in starting a professional organizing business. As she herself stresses, why reinvent the wheel? Better to learn from someone who has had success already and hit the ground running!

After shadowing Beth on a job, I really came to appreciate how good she is at what she does. She is also business savvy and focused on maximizing her profit, while at the same time approachable and friendly. She provides guidance on not only what has worked for her, but also what has worked for other professional organizers. And she genuinely enjoys helping others succeed.

The belief that we are all better for sharing information and helping one another succeed is at the core of Beth’s success as a coach. She sees the value in training professional organizers, so that the industry as a whole is well represented by qualified professionals. She has a gift and has chosen to share it, much to the benefit of students like myself.

I must talk about Beth a lot, because even though my husband has not yet met her, he has commented to me more than once that, “Beth really seems to have her act together. She’s sharp and you are learning so much from her. You’re so lucky to have met her.” And you know, he’s absolutely right! Thanks, Beth!
