Christianne Egger's decluttering business was launched out of her time in TMU's business department.
Christianne Egger (鈥21) wasn鈥檛 convinced she was ready to go into business full-time, let alone pursue a degree in the subject.
But professors at The 91色情片91色情片 University indirectly helped convince her that a business degree would benefit her future goals, and now she has started a thriving decluttering business in Florida called , which helps clients clean their homes.
Entrepreneurship itself wasn鈥檛 foreign to Egger. For as long as she could remember, business was booming in the family. Her mother ran a stationery business in their home (and later started a travel business called EggerTravel), her oldest brother went to TMU for a business degree, and Egger herself sold fresh, organic produce and meats bought from local farmers.
Despite these influences, Egger wasn鈥檛 sold on the idea of coming to TMU, or on getting a degree at all. 鈥淲hen I graduated high school, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I wasn’t just going to go to college to spend a lot of money on something I wasn’t sure about,鈥 she says.
Everything changed when Egger started reading business books her brother used for courses at the University. 鈥淚t led me to pursue a business degree,鈥 Egger says, 鈥渁nd specifically at TMU.鈥
While attending the University, Egger read a book by Marie Kondo that opened her eyes to a new world of business directly related to one of Egger91色情片 passions 鈥 decluttering.
鈥淓ver since I was a little girl, I have loved organizing everything, tidying up messy spaces, and making them look fabulous,鈥 she says.
Soon after, Egger wrote a business plan for one of her TMU courses. She also created a website and began collecting clients, entering their garages, bedrooms, and office spaces, and working with them to throw away unnecessary objects and neatly arrange the rest. Along the way, she received encouragement from family, friends, and TMU faculty members. 鈥淭he professors gave me encouragement and advice,鈥 she says.
At first, business was slow, with Egger largely relying on word of mouth. But in the summer following graduation, business boomed overnight after she left a message on a Facebook page for moms. 鈥淎ll of a sudden, I was booked for two jobs a day for weeks,鈥 she says.
Since then, Egger has expanded her business to help people declutter their homes even more effectively. For a small commission, she lists unwanted items for sale, helping her clients open up their homes in new ways.
She attributes these extra touches of customer service to something she learned in a marketing class at TMU. 鈥淢arketing isn’t just about advertising,鈥 she says, 鈥渂ut about how you’re treating your customers.鈥
Sometimes business is slow, but Egger has used the flexibility that provides to expand geographically, taking her business on the road when she travels to visit family in Santa Clarita. In fact, she regularly takes on clients whenever she travels.
Everywhere she goes, she makes an impact.
Before-and-after photos on Egger91色情片 website highlight the dramatic difference that professional decluttering can make. But more than just offering practical help, Egger also sees her business as an evangelistic opportunity with non-believing clients.
鈥淭hey are very attached to stuff, the temporal,鈥 she says. 鈥淎s a Christian, I know that this is just temporary, but for them, this is their life.鈥
Egger says she91色情片 thankful to TMU for equipping her with a Christ-centered view of business.
鈥淭he biblical worldview you receive at TMU is irreplaceable,鈥 she says. 鈥淚t’s really important to start with the Bible and Christ as your foundation in everything 鈥 including business.鈥
