My Story
|
After a successful twenty three + year sales & marketing career in the Food Brokerage Industry, I have now answered--and am being true to-- my “calling.” My great passion & love for anything involving food (as evidenced by my girth :-) was infused throughout my tenure in the business, but I felt ready to use my passion and skills in a manner that was different from the “corporate” scene. I made a conscious decision to exit the food business, but was uncertain of the direction I wanted to take.
Fate interceded on a December afternoon in 1998 as I was relaxing in my comfortable Charlotte, NC home listening to National Public Radio (NPR) and pondering my options. Only a few minutes prior to turning on the radio, I had asked myself the question: “So what are your God given, natural-born talents, skills, gifts and abilities and how are you going to use them?” Terry Gross, who hosts an NPR segment called Fresh Air, was interviewing Julie Morgenstern, the founder & owner of Task Masters, a New York based professional organizing company. Julie had recently written a book entitled “Organizing from the Inside Out” and was on air “plugging” her book. For me, it was an undeniable epiphany, one of those AH-HA moments when mind, body, and spirit become aware of Divine intervention. Until that instant I had been unaware of “Professional Organizers” or companies that were in business to help others manage and organize their affairs, and thereby enhance their lives. I listened intently as Morgenstern spoke of professional associations, literature, and resources dedicated to professional organizing. In those moments I consciously made a decision about my future and livelihood.
It took me a number of years--and a giant leap of faith--to breathe life into my baby, Organized Solutions. Organized Solutions is birthed in the spirit of my theory that each of us is born with certain gifts that are intended for us to nurture, first ourselves, and then others. I believe that loving one’s work--along with helping others--is instrumental in completing the circle of life. Receiving financial compensation for such meaningful work supports the intention. My heart is filled with joy when I think of assisting others with bringing simplicity, order, harmony, and beauty-- and subsequent joy and gratitude—into their everyday living. For many, an unorganized life costs time, money & causes stress. For me, it is a form of service to be able to return my gifts to the world as I help others gain the clarity received as a result of having an organized life. Whether you are slightly overwhelmed or chronically disorganized, whether you want guidance or total project management, Organized Solutions exists to help make your world a happier, more organized place. I am Victoria Miller, and I bring you... ORGANIZED SOLUTIONS |
