Interview with Holly Boyd, A1 Organizing
Locally I help people organize their homes and offices but on a National level I travel for speaking engagements and workshops on organizing everything from home to family to life
Tell us about your business.
Please tell us what being a business owner means to you and why you became an entrepreneur in the first place?
Although I moved to a most beautiful area with my family, I came with a job, or wouldn’t have come. However, job went sour and was forced to make a decision. We had already begun building our dream home on a mountain so prayed, made list of strengths and just ran with it!
What or who has been your greatest influence in business and why?
The Word of God and the promises He gives are what keep my sanity. Truly.
What would you say is your greatest professional accomplishment to date?
Saving families – I get desperate phone calls and invites – clutter is a killer whether it’s in your head or your home. Women come up to me and/or send me letters telling me what a difference it’s made. One speaking engagement at a church 70 women came forward to ask forgiveness from where we stopped living ON PURPOSE and just went with the flow, doing “what everyone else was doing”
What’s the best advice you have received in business that you wish to pass on to our readers?
Know your purpose and never sway. If you don’t stand for something you will fall for everything.
What one thing have you learned as a small business owner that has served you well over the years?
If it’s God’s will for you life then it will be. I live by faith not by sight. Most would have gone crazy by now and quit – and missed the blessings! Your attitude (of a quitter or fighter) is your habitude – my habitude is my attitude by habit – see more at

Are there any resources or tools you’d like to share with other small business owners that have helped you succeed?
I love what I do, it’s purposeful and I live what I teach. You can read a lot of my book about “acting as if….” Here: http://www.a1organizing.com/page_3.html
What is Number One Business Goal you plan to accomplish over the next year?
Speak to my largest crowd yet of 1,000 women!
Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
Nothing can stop you when you walk in the will of your Creator – and there is a Creator, you’d have to be a fool to think this world and everything in it (including you) is an accident.
How can our readers find you online?
