Some Points We Discussed

Moreen’s career path has not been a straight road.
She has worked in secretarial, fashion design, book marketing, podcasting, virtual book tours and virtual organising.
In 2004, following a move to a smaller city where she was overqualified for available jobs, Moreen began her own business as a professional organiser.
Due to a health issue, Moreen decided to write her first book, “Going Forward: Downsizing, Moving and Settling In”
Other books Moreen has written are :
- “Let’s Get Organized:172 Tiplets to Simplify Life”
- “Christmas Workbook: how to plan and create a more meaningful Christmas.”
It is important to always have an option or backup plan to fill in gaps or take over when plan A doesn’t work out.
Life involves some form of organising, some people are natural organisers while others aren’t.
Organisation skills can be learned.
The life of an entrepreneur faces challenges as well as many opportunities.
When contemplating a career transition:
- Learn what your strengths are, what you enjoy doing and what you will enjoy doing for a long time.
- Find someone who can teach you .
- Appreciate that the road ahead will have many twists and turns and always have several backup plans.
