Organise your life. NOW

The guest speaker at the lecture today Jolyn Chua has inspired me in many ways. I think that she is a daring entrepreneur who has taken the risk of introducing organising services to Singapore.

During the lecture, she talks about the problems that she has gone through such as changing the mindset of Singaporeans about the services that she provide and building up her company with little budget.

The only 1-year old company even has a reason behind its name. Jolyn believes that everyone has an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in them and as for her, it is organising clutter.

In accordance to this week's reading 'Engaging with the Media', OCD Services is mentioned in articles published in lifestyle magazines and a newspaper in its first year, showing how involved Jolyn has been in engaging with the media.

Other than creating awareness of the company to readers of the print media, the article also gives advice to readers, educating them of the service that OCD Services can provide them.

Right now, I actually feel pretty hyped up about the project by the end of the lecture. Maybe now I should get started...
