WomenHomeBusiness.com just published an interview I did with Betsy Fein, President of the Maryland-based Clutterbusters http://www.clutterbusters.net, one of the leading professional home organizing businesses.

Betsy’s story is very interesting. She started her home organizing business after she was laid off from her job with only $5,000 as startup capital. She got her first clients from the ads she placed in local newspapers and magazines. Like many new entrepreneurs, Betsy experienced a lot of problems learning the ropes of business — from not knowing how to tell clients that she is increasing her fees to miscalculating the number of hours needed to complete a job.

Last year, Betsy embarked on growing her business via franchising, which her husband handles. She now has two franchises and hope to get 10 more before 2007 ends. Her business has not yet broken the $1-million revenue mark, but Clutterbusters is slowly but surely reaching that goal.
