Siouxland woman seeks to create function, flow and elegance in homes and businesses | Local Lifestyles
SIOUX CITY — Emily Nelson brings organization and elegance into pantries, cupboards and closets, areas of the home that are often overlooked. The Siouxland woman founded Orderly Elegance, a professional organizing company, roughly two years ago. And, since then, the demand for her elegant, organizational touch has grown largely by word of mouth. Nelson, whose services are currently booked out through January, has organized 150 homes and more than 10 businesses. “It’s a new concept that really hasn’t been in this area, so it’s been challenging to educate people on how organization is so important in their life,” she said. “Being organized just propels them for a great successful day.

Best VPNs for small and home-based businesses in 2021
I recently had a friendly discussion with a marketing guy who contended that the term “small business” didn’t apply to home-based businesses because small businesses have between a hundred and 1,500 employees and revenues from about $1M to about $40M. Technically, if you accept the US Small Business Administration’s very wrong-headed definition of small business, that’s correct. But I defy you to tell a small restaurant owner or an IT consultant with five or ten employees that their business isn’t a small business. Afterall, roughly 54{3e92bdb61ecc35f2999ee2a63f1e687c788772421b16b0136989bbb6b4e89b73} of employer businesses (business with employees) are smaller than the SBA’s definition of small business.

Some small businesses find opportunity in janky supply chain
The congested supply chain has been making it a lot harder for a lot of businesses to get the goods they need. That’s affecting car production, imports of products like furniture and electronics, and nearly every aspect of the American economy. The shortages aren’t great for an economy that’s still recovering from the pandemic. But on the other hand, the janky supply chain has created new opportunities for some smaller businesses, thanks to their size and ability to move quickly. Take tuxedos, for instance. “There’s this crazy tuxedo shortage in America right now,” said Ken Giddon, who runs Rothmans, a men’s clothing store in New York. Giddon has been able…
