Get ready for Spring!

Not that we’re counting, but it’s just five weeks until Spring is upon us again and for us, it can’t come too soon.

It’s time to spring into action and start clearing and decluttering your home, whatever you situation.

However, never has it been more important to clean and clear your house than if you’re looking at selling your property and more importantly if you’re looking at selling your property and achieving maximum profit in the process.

By utilising just a few inexpensive methods you can ensure that you create the best, all-important, first impression.

Your potential buyer will have made their minds up about your property within just minutes and you need to make sure that they like what they see.

This article, taken from www.realestate.com.au, is an excellent piece that gives some really good pointers about how you can achieve this and without breaking the bank too.

Take a few minutes to watch the below video taken from ExpertRealEstateTips.com – our team can make this happen for you too! Why don’t you contact us?

There’s just 34 sleeps to go so get planning now!

From cluttered, to organised, to styled…. what we can do for you!

So, our stand at the Northern Beaches Expo was a great hit with people visiting us seeing themselves in the chaos of our before set up and wanting to know how they could achieve the calm and organisation of our after displays.  We were in our element as we got to spend a whole day talking about our passion of decluttering peoples lives and watching the benefits that it brings to so many areas of their lives.  It is only when you have lost the clutter from your life that you realise how widespread its affects had been.  Hopefully with all the tips and tricks that we shared with the people we met, they will be able to make a start to bringing order into their lives.

We’ve attached some photos of our stand on the day so you can see what can be achieved for yourselves.  Obviously the first picture is our before set up and is a familiar scene for many many people.  If you’re short on cash but want to streamline your set up then we can advise you on what you can do with your existing furniture and accessories as shown in the second picture.  The last picture shows what can be achieved when you take our advice on selecting furniture and accessories and how to place them to achieve maximum results with the space you’re trying to improve.  The result, a calm, organised work space that will lead to higher levels of productivity and efficiency and ultimately to increased profit, what more could you ask for?

A big thank you goes to Oz Design at Belrose, Kelly’s Office Furniture at Dee Why and Howards Storage World at Warringah Mall for providing the stylish furniture and accessories that made up our stand for the day.

Our work – before and after shots

Everyone loves a good sticky-beak into someone else’s wardrobe. Don’t they? We’ve been busy the last few months organising, de-cluttering and systemising our clients’ space. See below a couple of great examples of how we can make the place you live into the place you love…

The She Festival was a HIT!

Resolve to get organised

In the February edition of My Business magazine, Andrew Vincent, the creator and producer of Channel 9’s ‘Your Business Success’ program, focuses on the importance of keeping diaries and written records of the day-to-day running of your business.

According to Vincent, it’s amazing how many people commit everything to memory or at best scraps of paper or Post-it-Notes which are to be found somewhere between the office wall, the desk, wallet, handbag, the car or home. Yet at the same time they get frustrated about not achieving their goals.

Based on some advice offered by Richard Branson in his book ‘Losing My Virginity’, Vincent has compiled a seven-step crash course in time management that includes suggestions such as: taking a notebook with you everywhere you go and writing everything down in it – every meeting, every idea and every deadline.

He also suggests creating a to-do list that prioritises everything that needs to be done.

According to a recent survey, keeping a written record of your activities, ideas and priorities will give you a competitive advantage over 90 per cent of all other business owners, who only have things committed to memory or lying around on scraps of paper.
