For some, leaving behind a full-time F job to start their own business is a daunting idea. But for Natalie Jane, founder of Be Organised and organisational expert on Three's new series Sort Your Life Out NZ, it was the best decision she has ever made.
"People always say, 'Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.' I took a leap of faith nine years ago and I haven't looked back."
Natalie was 42 when she left behind her steady job at an interior design store to start her home-organising business, looking to build something that was all her own. After a friend suggested she would be a great home organiser, Natalie couldn't get the idea out of her head and decided to give it a try.
"I reached a crossroads in life. I had recently turned 40 and I thought, I'm tired of working for other people,"" tells Natalie. "I built my website and I suddenly started getting busy."
It's not the first time Natalie, who met her partner of 10 years Ben King while DJing at the same gig, has made a drastic life change. When she was 21, only two years after achieving her childhood dream of being a dancer in the Royal New Zealand Ballet, she chose to stop professional dancing for good.
After spending her formative years in the disciplined world of ballet, she realised she didn't possess the competitive nature needed to excel in the ruthless environment and was eager to let her hair down.
