Mini Bio: Baljit Siekham

Baljit is the founder and principal of Alchemy Organizing. She recently did a great job organizing my home office. Her elevator pitch is no jive. I recycled an entire car-load of files after she was done.

Baljit Siekham

I’ve known Baljit since 2000 when I started dating her sister (whom I eventually married). I e-mailed Baljit on August 6, 2008 and asked her the following questions. Her responses are listed below my questions:

1. Where did you grow up?

The U.K. Leicester, to be precise.

2. What did you want to be when you were a kid?

A Computer Programmer.

3. How would you describe to someone like me what you do for a living?

I work with people to solve their paper and work flow challenges to identify the things that need to get done and then getting them done in the most efficient manner possible. The whole goal is to get your back office paperwork (the foundation of your business) completed in as short a time period as possible so that you have the time and energy left over for the important things like income generation and fun.

4. How would you describe what you do to someone who has no idea what your industry is about?

I work with people and companies that have paper everywhere and they can never find anything when they are looking for it. By the time I leave – approx. 80% of the paper is discarded and the remaining 20% is put into a filing system that the individual or company can understand so that things are no longer lost and they don’t waste their time looking for stuff. Companies save a lot of money by hiring me as they actually pay employees to work rather than just shuffle paper. A lot of people can do this by themselves but they never make the time to do it and years go by. When I am hired – the time to organize is now.
