Following are a few bonus questions we weren’t able to cover during the video.

Linda, what would you do differently if you were starting your business today?

If I were starting a business today, I would invest in education sooner rather than later.

As a seasoned professional, what’s the biggest challenge you currently face in your business?

In 2022, I sponsored my first virtual workshop. The easy parts were creating the presentation and marketing materials and giving the actual presentation on Zoom. I’ve done four of these so far. With each new workshop, I improved the technology aspect of the process and hired people to help. It’s been a learning curve with some challenges and frustrations. As this is still a new offering, I continue to find ways to enhance the backend so the purchasing and follow-up process can be as seamless as possible.

What’s your favorite organizing product?

Do I have to choose just one? It’s a toss-up between the Brother P-Touch label makers, Pendaflex colored plastic (see-through) file folders, which I love using for projects and travel, lined sticky notes, repositionable write-on tabs, and the 2Do app for task management.

What do you like to do when you’re not working?

I love spending time with my family and friends, walking by the river or in the woods, meditating, journaling, reading, doing yoga, taking photos, making cards and wrapping gifts, tending to my mini-garden, watching movies, traveling, laughing, hosting holiday gatherings, and doing anything water-related, from kayaking to showering to washing dishes.

What else should we know about you?

My favorite color is purple, and it has been since I was young. My Mom told me it was the first color I ever said. I collect Pez dispensers, miniatures, and sparkly things. When I was twelve, I drove cross country with my older brother in an MGB. It was an unforgettable trip. I love coffee ice cream, black licorice, watermelon, and Concord grapes. I surprised my family when I volunteered last minute to be a contestant at a country fair watermelon-eating contest. They cheered me on and laughed hysterically as I devoured the watermelon hands-free and won third place. What a messy and fun experience!

Thank you again, Linda, for sharing your story with my readers and followers.
