Worried about the cost of getting help with your De-Cluttering and Organising?
Don't worry.
We don't assume you've got endless resources to pay for one to one help in your home.
Many people incorrectly assume that the only help available for de-cluttering and organising their home is to pay for an expert to come to their home to do it for them.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
Because we know that you don't need someone telling you what you 'should' or 'shouldn't do - making you feel even worse than you probably already do about your clutter - and that you actually just need to learn the skill of how to do it yourself so that your clutter doesn't return again in the future, we can actually give you that help in lots of different ways.
Yes we do go to people's homes to teach them how to de-clutter and organize their home - but we also help a lot of people on the telephone with one-to-one telephone coaching (with clients in the UK, New Zealand, LA, New York....) and by providing them the step by step process we use in the DIY Kits and eBooks.
Because we know you don't have infinite amounts of money to deal with your clutter challenge, we offer you a range of ways to help you get the help you want and need - from:
- giving you the process for you to follow step by step on your own
- to talking to a consultant on the telephone on a regular basis to keep you on track and motivated when those around you don't understand why your clutter is a problem for you or what you're trying to achieve
- to the service that everyone would ideally have but not all can afford - a consultant coming to your home to take you through the process step by step on your clutter and giving you ongoing support as you continue that process on your own.
Why?
- It would probably cost far too much (depending on how much clutter you have)
- It would only deal with the symptom of your clutter, rather than prevent the clutter returning again in the future
- Once you've found a place to start, gained confidence in HOW to clear your clutter using the process that we guarantee works if you follow it, you don't actually need more than 1 or 2 consecutive days of help in your home.
I wish we could afford to do the help in your home service for less than we do, but unfortunately with the cost of fuel, accommodation, overheads associated with running a business and time it's just not possible to do so. You'd be surprised how little ends up as a wage!
That's why we have other ways of getting one to one help and the step by step process that we use with the help in the home service. That way you don't have to be dependent on a consultant to come to your home to get the help you need.
10 Things to Consider
If having some help in your home is a possibility you're considering but are concerned about the cost then here are 7 things to consider:
- We charge a fixed fee for 1/2 a day, 1 day or 2 days which includes all travel, accommodation etc. That way you know that the price you see is the price you pay - if we spend half an hour or an hour longer than planned doing what we need to do, then we will spend that time at no extra charge to you. Other professional de-clutterers charge by the hour, so you're never quite sure how much it's going to cost until they leave.
- We include in our prices 6 weeks of weekly follow up support on the telephone AND access to more resources and information to help you stay on track on the website - resources that the general public don't have access to. We don't leave you to it when we leave your home.
- 2 consecutive days of help in your home is the ideal amount of time to make a difference, get the hang of the process and get visible results. That means that for a fixed price of US$425 you could have one or two rooms clear of clutter and organized within 2 days - and have completed a third and be onto your fourth clutter free room by the end of the 6 weeks of weekly follow up support. Is that worth it in terms of money and time?
- If you were to work out how much all the 'things' in your clutter cost you when you bought them, how much roughly would that be?
- If you don't know how much things cost, it you were to base it on US$1 per item, how much money would that be approximately?
- How much have you spent in the last month buying things that you haven't used or appreciated since you bought them?
- If you were to consider how much of your time you've spent trying to de-clutter and organize your home since the clutter became an issue you wanted to address, and multiplied that by US$5.93 per hour (UK National Minimum Wage), how much has your time cost you in trying to deal with the clutter?
If you have spent more than 72 hours or 9 x 8 hour days trying to de-clutter and organize your home, you've actually spent the equivalent of the cost 2 days of help in your home and not got the results you want and need.
- If you were to consider how much more time you are likely to spend trying to de-clutter and organize your home, probably unsuccessfully, is it worth getting a head start on it, making real, visible tangible progress by the end of 2 days and getting ongoing support, motivation and help for 6 weeks?
- How much is it worth to you in terms of time or money to be able to clear your clutter once and for all and not have it return again in the future? If you knew you wouldn't have to spend a penny more than US$425 to start clearing your clutter and succeeding, would that be worth it?
- What are the benefits to you of clearing your clutter? How much is it worth to you to be able to actually get those benefits by the end of the year?
Although the client may have seen an improvement by the end of the help, the clutter has returned to the same level as it was before they had help within an average of 1 month. They have then come to use realising the importance of learning to do it themselves, make the decisions, decide what is best for their home (with our help), take it slowly and make it a new habit. Consequently, the money they have spent on our help has had a long term benefit in that they haven't had to pay for professional help ever again.
