So...why is the business name Tidy Milso and when did I start?
While I launched my business in June of 2020, Tidy Milso was in the making long before that. In February of 2017 my now husband was away at basic training for the Army. During this time I read a book as so many blogs and videos recommended. I came across "Live More, Want Less" by Mary Carlomagno and it was so compelling that I finished reading the book in a matter of days. With motivation from the book and in pursuit to stay busy, I re-organized and decluttered our home. My mindset was that this would not only occupy my time as I waited for his homecoming but it would be beneficial in case we had to relocate. Through several phone chats and video calls we managed to get rid of 20+ bags of clothing and miscellaneous items. I can still remember the freeing feeling in keeping only the things we each desired.
So when I stumbled upon "Tidying up with Marie Kondo" on Netflix and she defined that feeling as #SparkJoy everything clicked. Throughout my life others have described me as detailed, organized, an over-achiever and...the BIG ONE a perfectionist. gasp lol
While the definitions of those words are positive, it always seemed to have a negative connotation. In fear of being labeled by those crippling words, I cowered at leadership opportunities, at being the best at work, in school and in my personal life. However, opportunities seem to constantly call me to use my gift.
I organized spaces for friends, family and even at work. When I decided to start the business, the thing I struggled with most was my business name. I knew I wanted it to relate to my experience as a military significant other. After all, I wouldn’t have started my own decluttering journey if my husband didn’t join the Army, therefore I wouldn’t have discovered my passion for organizing. The business name was almost called Tidy Nomad but I decided to name it Tidy Milso. Tidy meaning arranged neatly and in order and Milso standing for Military Significant other.
