Today we’d like to introduce you to Candice Nelson.
Hi Candice, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and have owned a couple of businesses in my lifetime. I was also an administrative assistant at a wonderful church preschool/kindergarten for many years. After my battle with cancer, I became restless and unsure of what I wanted to do with my life.
I knew that I desired to do something meaningful, something that would make my heart smile, I desired to be in a position of helping others. I pondered, prayed and meditated on what career path I should take that would bring me a sense of satisfaction. So, I did a “thing.” I started a professional organizing and housekeeping services business.
As many of us do, I possess many talents. Organizing is definitely one of them and it definitely gives me a sense of satisfaction and happiness. In under three weeks, I booked and secured a major or should I say massive assignment as well as a few reoccurring jobs. I’m extremely blessed that it has taken off the way it has!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Actually, as soon as I made myself available, completely set up the legalities of my business and launched my website, I was booked within the first week.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Immaculate Clean by Design, LLC is a professional organizing and housekeeping services company that specializes in assisting people with organization and cleanliness. I am most proud of my very first client, Sue Davis. Her assignment is a huge one. We are continuing to work together to complete it
What sets me apart from other like-minded businesses is the approach that I take with my clients. The vast majority of the time, these are individuals that have an extremely hard time letting go of things that they seem to be emotionally attached to for various reasons.
As a result, I approach each situation gently and with a caring heart. This opens up the opportunity to build a positive rapport with the client which then makes both “letting go” for the client and my job much easier. Giving the client a sense control of exactly what to do with their belongings, listening to the clients wants and needs while gently persuading and soliciting sound advice is key to successful completion of each situation. Each client and situation is unique so each one has to be approached in a different way
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Something that most people would not know about me is that I battled rare cancer, Hepatic Epithelioid Hemangioendothelioma, for approximately 18 years.
I have been through some pretty traumatic situations in my life but am so happy to even utter the words that I have been “chemo free” for about two years now and have what my doctors call stabilized cancer.
