 Starting a business is not an easy task. Add to that the challenge moving to a new town, and not knowing a lot people and it’s even more difficult. But Sharon Harn of Sharon Harn Organizing overcame all obstacles and created a successful business here in Tucson.
Sharon started her Professional Organizing business in California about a year ago. The business was taking off when she and her husband moved to Tucson because he received a job transfer. Sharon came from the corporate world and spent more than 15 years in management. Her last job was general manager in a manufacturing company, so she is familiar with organizing and improving departments, systems, and daily tasks of employees. Plus, organizing comes naturally for her.
Sharon realized that starting a business in a town where she knew very few people was going to be a little more difficult. She was already familiar with SCORE® because she had utilized their services in California. So she contacted SCORE® in Tucson and spoke to Rao Bollimpalli. He gave her some very good recommendations how to advertise and get people familiar with her business name.
Now she is doing what she truly enjoys doing – helping businesses and residents become more organized.
“When a business or home owner is able to find documents, files, and items quickly and their systems are more productive, the bottom line is that they will be more profitable,” Harn said. “The real benefits of being organized is it allows more time to do what they really enjoy doing, it gives them more freedom, and more peace of mind.”

The restaurant business is notoriously difficult. Most new enterprises that open close within the first few years. But El Burrito has triumphed over the odds in northwest Tucson with 25 years of serving tamales, chimichangas, tacos, fajitas and of course burritos.
Margaret Cooper didn’t start out in the landscaping business. When she was living back east she took her love of gardening and did some work for her homeowners association. People started complementing her on her work and asked her to work on their projects. And a new career began.
