Today we’d like to introduce you to Becki McKenna
Hi Becki, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
First and foremost, thanks for giving me an opportunity to share my story! I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where I earned my degree in Interior Design and spent years helping friends and family organize and redesign their space. Ever since I can remember, I was constantly tidying up spaces and making sure the items that I owned all had a specific place. I can even recall a time where we had to write an article in grade school about our favorite hobby and I chose organizing. Funny, right? I always said I wanted to make a career out of my passion for organizing and helping people, but it wasn’t until 2020 that I started my own business as a part time job. However, once I started, it took off more rapidly than I could have ever hoped and I was quickly able to turn it into a full time career. I’m so happy that my journey has led me to helping others in this way.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I think with any business, there are things that come up that are unexpected but you just need to take them as a lesson and learn from them. If I didn’t have challenging days my work would get pretty boring!
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I help busy families and young adults live a more simplistic lifestyle by taking back control of their home with decluttering and organizing.
I manage jobs that consist of everything from organizing kitchen drawers to decluttering entire homes. I have also worked with clients outside of their homes on tasks like storefront staging and office organization. There is no job too big or too small! My typical process on any project is to have a phone call to discuss your goals and see what we can create together. I will give an estimate about how many hours the project will take and create a custom plan focused around those goals. During a typical organizing day, my process is to remove all items, sort, declutter and organize that is simple for my clients to maintain. Since I have my degree in design, I always help my clients create the seamless flow they have been searching for in their homes. At the end of the day, I want to be sure that my clients are ecstatic about how their space looks when I depart.
Since every client has different goals, no job is the same. Which makes every project fun and exciting!
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
I absolutely love The Mel Robbins Podcast for both personal and business. I always feel uplifted and mentally stronger when I listen to one. The Minimalists Podcast is amazing if you are stuck on how to let go of items or move forward with discarding items that have sentimental value. ProOrganizer Studio is also a great podcast for existing or future organizers in the business.
