It's been awhile since I've put anything regarding Arranging Order into the blogosphere, but I have some exciting updates to share with you.I officially finished working for corporate America on May 28, 2010. Though I launched Arranging Order full time on September 1, 2009, it took several months to create a pipeline of sustainable business in which I could use as a foundation of business before becoming entirely self employed. A Designer Spot - an interior design blog resource based out of New York recently started covering events in Chicago and they asked me to provide coverage for them! Head over to the Chicago version to see read about some of the exciting events I've attended, as well as images and commentary from the events. Thank you to A Designer Spot and Alin Boicu for the opportunity!We've also started working with two new clients over the past few months in the virtual assistance category. I've recently started working with Circa1856 and Alton Jamison (professional speaker). Circa 1856 reimagines antique and vintage pieces and turns them into wearable modern jewelry. Remembering the past, and updating the style allows us to preserve the important history.Alton Jamison speaks to individuals, educational institutions and businesses spreading the message on the importance of a positive mentality, while emphasizing the power behind removing imaginary handcuffs that prevent you from being your true self. We are also working on expanding into California - more on that later.Finally - Arranging Order joined the Chicagoland chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO). In doing so, we have seen an increase in the organizing side of our business. AO would like to thank our clients for their business, our friends and family for their support, and Lennie Rose for her unconditional mentorship. Thank you for taking this journey with us, and best wishes for a successful and productive 2011.
