Description
Written as a segue from the final chapter of the writer's previous publication, this guide to downsizing addresses the growing need of individuals and caregivers in planning and carrying out downsizing tasks while transitioning their premises to smaller places and spaces. For caregivers of all stripes, be they spouses, adult children, siblings, friends, neighbours, downsize companies or caregiving individuals, it offers essential planning steps for downsizing one's life and for providing assistance in downsizing another's life in an organized and meaningful way. With the use of questionnaires, to-do lists, goal setting exercises, and sample scenarios, readers are guided in selecting advisors to team up with who will provide legal and practical advice and assistance in establishing priorities through to completion. The guide includes helpful hints on how to get and give help and deal with the stresses of juggling simple tasks as they become monumental challenges.
About the author
In 1981, armed with a secondhand vehicle, a small staff, and a dramatic advertising campaign, Susan Bewsey launched her first cleaning business. Within three months, “the little cleaning service that could” was a success, and Bewsey sold her first franchise shortly after. By 1988, she had sold and resold 157 franchises and managed a fleet of more than 80 vehicles. After five more successful years, she parted with her latest home cleaning venture and is now a development and planning consultant for small business, primarily in the cleaning service industry.
