   Julie Bestry, President of Best Results Organizing, is a professional organizer in Chattanooga, Tennessee, providing guidance in all aspects of organizing and time management.Julie helps residential, home-office, small business and corporate clients save time and money, reduce stress and increase productivity.
   
   Julie's clients don't just learn from the hands-on organizing services she provides -- they also learn skills that allow them to maintain their new, more organized environments in the future.In addition to working one-on-one with clients, Julie also writes articles and teaches seminars on organizing and time management for companies, professional organizations and volunteer groups. (Click here to contact Julie about her availability for speaking engagements.) Julie also appears regularly on WRCB-TV3's morning news, offering insight and advice on subjects related to having a more organized life, and is often interviewed by representatives of the media.
   
   Julie was inspired to start Best Results Organizing after a long career as a television program director.Broadcasting is a high-paced environment in which strong organizational skills and systems are paramount for keeping things running smoothly - a little bit of disorganization can lead to dead air, disappointed viewers and lost revenue.Soon after September 11th, 2001, Julie found herself seeking a career change, a professional opportunity that allowed her to use her skills to inspire change and help people achieve their dreams.
   
   What Best Results Organizing Believes
   
   Julie Bestry believes that getting organized is about making life and work more functional.Julie feels so strongly that blame and regret hurt the organizing process that she created Best Results Organizing's business motto: Don't apologize!Organize!
   
   Julie says:
   
   I tell all my clients that disorganization is not a character flaw --it's merely a mismatch between the systems and skills in our lives and the actual lives we are trying to lead.
   
   My philosophy is that everything should have a place to live, and my corollary is that "Not everything has to live with YOU."That means that when I work with a client to declutter, we also try to find the appropriate places, via charitable donations, recycling or resale, for outgoing items to "live".
   
   To Julie, organizing is about far more than aesthetics.Her goal is to help clients achieve all of their goals -- including saving time and money, reducing stress or increasing productivity - through organizational skills and systems.
   
   Julie believes that organizational skills can be learned if the environment is right and the student is willing.She loves to share this story, reflecting her philosophy about making positive changes:
   ...
   Julie is a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, the Georgia chapter of NAPO and the National Association of Women Business Owners.She holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University and a Master's of Arts from Syracuse University.She has called Tennessee her home since 1992.
   
   Julie received the 2004 Tennessee Small Business Administration's Home-Based Business Advocate of the Year Award, and generally delights in helping people improve their lives through decluttering and organization.

   Having a forum where everyone understands the challenges of being female in the work force makes for a special environment, said Julie Bestry, a member of the Chattanooga chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, which came together in 1990.
   
   "Women have a unique approach to business," said Ms. Bestry, the owner of Best Results Organizing.
   
   "Men are not eager to talk about their failings or their challenges, but women I find are comfortable with opening up and saying, 'These are the skills and talents I have; these other areas are my areas of weakness; can I seek your experience, your guidance,' " she said."That's an amazing thing."
