Today we’d like to introduce you to Shante.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve always been an organized person, though I never realized it was a skill not everyone had. As a child, I loved arranging my clothes, shoes, and school notebooks. Fast forward to adulthood—my childhood best friend once asked me to help her organize her closet, and I eagerly agreed. After assisting her with organizing her house on another occasion, she suggested I start my own organizing business. I had never considered that organizing could become a career, so I did some research. To my surprise, I discovered that professional organizing is a thriving industry. In 2021, I officially launched my own organizing business. Since launching my business, I have organized family, friends, co-workers, and plenty of referrals.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I quickly realized that being a professional organizer came naturally to me, but running a business was the real learning curve. I had to educate myself on business taxes, legal structures, banking, marketing, contracts, and more. I also experienced “dry seasons,” times when I had little to no clients—often during the fall and winter months when organizing isn’t top of mind for most people. I’m still learning how to navigate and bounce back from those slower periods. Another important lesson has been understanding that not every potential client is the right fit. Just because someone needs organizing services doesn’t mean I’m the best match for them. What I know for sure is that organizing is my passion, and I’ve put in the work to build the knowledge and skills needed to sustain it as a business.
Organizations like National Association of Black Professional Organizers, Corner to Corner, and Boomin University have played a pivotal part in helping me overcome any obstacles and/or challenges that have come my way.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Heavenly Space Organizing Service (HSOS) transforms your space into a slice of heaven by decluttering, organizing, and optimizing areas in the home or office. My job is to assist in creating efficient systems, sorting belongings, and implementing organizational solutions to enhance productivity and reduce stress. I organize residential and commercial spaces: kitchens, pantries, bedrooms, closets, bathrooms, storages, garages, offices, etc.
In order for me to do my job effectively, I need to form the foundation of trust with my potential clients because that is the only way I can assist them in getting to the root of their decluttering/disorganizing.
Heavenly Space Organizing Service was a first time vendor at the Community Business Expo, hosted by Fairfield Missionary Baptist Church. I enjoyed networking with other business owners/vendors and potential clients.
