SAN DIEGO – Closet and storage professionals make a living helping their customers design attractive spaces to declutter and/or better organize their stuff. But when it comes to managing their businesses, most closet and storage professionals could use some targeted help to organize their businesses to eliminate wasted effort, reduce stress and improve their bottom line.

At the 2022 Closets Conference, Jane Stoller, founder and CEO of Organized Jane, will discuss how owners of custom closet and storage companies can seize control of their schedules to maximize their potential as entrepreneurs. Stoller, a life-biz organizer, coach, speaker, author, and university instructor, will go through the key steps closet owners can take to not only improve their profitability but their personal lives as well.

Some of the ways in which Stoller helps her clients get better organized include:

• Streamlining business processes and eliminating hidden time-wasters;
• Handling competing priorities with minimal stress and no multi-tasking; and 
• Avoiding the pitfalls of perfectionism without sacrificing excellence.

Stoller is a member of the Forbes Business Council, an invitation-only community for successful business owners and leaders. She also lectures at Vancouver Island University in Canada for part of the year, helping students learn management skills. 

The annual Closets Conference, scheduled for Wednesday, April 27, is co-organized by Closets & Organized Storage magazine and the Association of Closet and Storage Professionals. 

Other Closets Conference sessions include:

• Opening Keynote presented by Laurie Haefele, Associate AIA, ASID, NKBA, of Haefele Design Inc.;
• Should You Charge Design Fees? presented by Karen Rolleri, chief organization officer and founder of Organizeology; and
• Magic Numbers and Financial Impacts presented by Tim Coleman, division manager of SCE Unlimited.

The full-day Closets Conference, which runs concurrently with the Wood Pro Conference, will be capped by a tour of a local manufacturing facility. The two-day Closets Expo, co-located with Wood Pro Expo California, follows on April 28-29 at the San Diego Convention Center. (View three-day event schedule.)
