Hi! I am Melissa.

I'm Melissa Klug, and I’m so proud to be the CEO, Head Coach, and the Program Director for educational resources at Pro Organizer studio, including Inspired Organizer®, Organizing Essentials, the podcast, and new offers.

Having spent 20 years in sales + marketing at Fortune 500 companies, I never considered entrepreneurship as a path for my life. I said, many times, "I could never go out on my own—I would prefer to have the safety of the backing of a large company." Until the day that I no longer had that, extremely unexpectedly, after a corporate acquisition. Very quickly afterward—it was the next day!--I had an epiphany. I had been extremely, deeply unhappy in my career for years. Years! I pretended I enjoyed the jet set life and the corporate political games—but inside I was deeply unsatisfied. But what did that mean for what was next for me? 

During my time job searching, I started organizing my house, long neglected and fully chaotic after two decades of corporate travel, raising two kids, and having an insanely busy life, like every woman I know. I discovered I was REALLY good at organizing. I loved it. It was all I wanted to do. I spent every free moment doing it in my own home—and then I started to help other people do it. When people asked—“What are you going to do next in your career?” the only answer I kept coming back to was, I really want to help people find the joy in their houses like I’ve rediscovered in mine. But was that—a job? 

Thanks to the wonderful internet, I discovered it was. I took a major, scary life leap. I gave myself one year to see if I could make my business successful. And much to my joy—it flourished. I had clients, sometimes 7 days a week. I loved every minute of it. I was helping people truly change their life, just by organizing their home. 

In 2019 I realized something new—that I wanted to tell other women how they could do what I did. How they could escape jobs or careers that didn’t fulfill them, and create their own business that not only helped others, but helped themselves. To use my two decades in multi-million dollar businesses and my time building a successful organizing business to teach other women they can do the same. I became a business coach for professional organizers, and I worked with clients on three continents. In 2020, I gratefully joined Pro Organizer Studio to work with the best mentor in our business, Jen, to help her mission.
