Introducing the Declutter ClinicI’ve been thinking about how to offer group help that would be affordable individually, but still enable me to make a living. Well, I just learned about a couple who have a very affordable program already in place and it’s just amazing! Betsy and Warren Talbot’s Declutter Clinic is a 4-week course delivered via email with video and audio lessons revealing everything they know about getting decluttered — and staying decluttered. You’ll also get transcripts and checklists so you don’t even have to take notes! In addition, they have set up a private Facebook forum so you can ask them questions and share your progress with the rest of the class. It is as close as you’ll get to having them come to your house and walk you through the decluttering process. The course starts, May 1, so you could potentially have your house decluttered and ready for summer company on this program.

However, I also promised that I was going to do my first online workshop at no charge. So how about this: If you sign up for the Talbot’s Declutter Clinic, I’ll meet with you by phone or Skype one-on-one for 45 minutes at no charge AND give you a written recap of our session so that you have all my recommendations at your fingertips. (My fee for doing a single session like this is typically $75.) So not only will you have access to the Talbots, but you get a free personal session with The Declutter Lady. Are you in? Let me know if you have any questions! Brenda Spandrio, aka The Declutter Lady |
Free ‘Managing Paperwork for Your Small Business’ workshop offered October 29
Sequim, WA— Small business owners and those who are thinking about starting a business are invited to learn the essentials of business paperwork management on Tuesday, October 29 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Quality Inn, Sequim. Co-hosted by Brenda Spandrio, also known as The Declutter Lady, and Angelo Spandrio who runs the Solopreneur Hotline, this free workshop is designed to provide information, systems and solutions for paperwork management that can increase productivity, reduce stress and lead to more control over time, space, and money.
Most solopreneurs do not anticipate the complexity and sheer amount of paperwork involved in starting and maintaining a profitable venture. Without the pressure of a supervisor or the help of a secretary, there is a tendency to let this aspect of running the business slide, which can have expensive, if not legal, consequences. Ultimately, mismanagement of paperwork can even cause the business to fail.
The Spandrios will present what types of documentation are needed for starting and running a successful business, as well as paper organizing basics, and how to set up follow-through systems.
Seating is limited. Those interested in reserving a seat should call Brenda Spandrio at 360-504-2520 or email brenda@thedeclutterlady.com.

Free ‘Managing Paperwork for Your Small Business’ workshop offered September 9, 2013
Sequim, WA— Small business owners are invited to learn the secrets of managing paperwork on Monday, September 9 from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at the Quality Inn, Sequim. Co-hosted by Brenda Spandrio, The Delutter Lady, and Angelo Spandrio who runs the Solopreneur Hotline, this workshop is designed to provide information, systems and solutions for paper that can increase productivity, reduce stress and lead to more control over time, space, and money.
Most solopreneurs do not anticipate the complexity and sheer amount of paperwork involved in maintaining a profitable venture. Since no one else has to access the records, there is a tendency to let this aspect of running the business slide.
Unfortunately, this can lead to major problems and ultimately cause the business to fail.
The Spandrios will present what types of documentation are needed for running a successful business, as well as paper organizing basics, and how to set up follow-through systems.
