Must-see videos for new organizers

11 February 2021

My friend, Geralin Thomas of Metropolitan Organizing in Cary, N.C., is a professional organizer who specializes in coaching other professional organizers. If you’re not aware of all the amazing content she has put together to help organizers, you’re missing out. Let me help you remedy that.

Geralin has launched a series of short videos, which have come out weekly, that answer questions she gets about starting an organizing business. I think they’re terrific. They’re both informative and fun, much like Geralin. Her casual, approachable style in the videos is so authentic. It’s one of the reasons I’m so fond of her. Believe me when I tell you that over the dozen+ years of our friendship, I have benefited repeatedly from her answering my many questions. She is not only smart but wise.

Here are the new Ask Me Anything videos, all on her YouTube channel:

• Episode 1 – How Do ProOrganizers Find Clients?
• Episode 2 – I’ve Been Hired. Now what?
• Episode 3 – ProOrganizers FAQs: Rates, To-Dos, Target Market
• Episode 4 – Prerequisites for Becoming a ProOrganizer
• Episode 5 – Why Do People Hire Professional Organizers?
• Episode 6 – Tools of the Trade for ProfOrganizers

There will be more videos in the coming weeks, so I suggest subscribing to her YouTube Channel so you don’t miss them when they come out.

Geralin’s contributions aren’t limited to videos. She also has an information-rich blog. Here are two of her latest posts, which detail tools of the trade, physical and digital:

• Digital Tools of the Trade (a list of resources anyone can use)
• Professional Organizers’ Favorite Tools of the Trade (a-round up of the favorite organizing tools of organizers around North America, including yours truly)

And, finally, an easy way to tap into Geralin’s wisdom is to check out her FAQ, each of which is answered with a link to one of her blog posts. (I should also mention that she sells a robust set of forms that organizers can use for their own businesses and offers one-on-one coaching as well. You can check out those paid resources on her Products + Services page.)

Even if Geralin weren’t a dear friend, I would recommend her free resources and paid coaching and forms for anyone who is, or aspires to be, a professional organizer. I can attribute much of my success to the help she’s given me over the years!
