Meet Jenya Tucker

We were lucky to catch up with Jenya Tucker recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Jenya , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

My name is Jenya Tucker and I am originally from St. Petersburg, Russia.
I started my career in hospitality right after university. I worked at world wide hotel chain Four Seasons. Then I moved to US, and continued my career at Four Seasons Washington DC as a sales manager. I loved the atmosphere, the ethics and people around me, but after achieving my annual goal by 125%, it was time to think about senior position. But I realized that that’s not what I would like to do and that doesn’t bring me joy. So I quit, with our knowing where I am going (thanks to my very supportive husband). I started to read and explore my options, I read a book “what color is your parachute?”, and it helped me a lot to find my passion and my strength. I always liked neat and organized spaces ( I think because of my mom). I remember how my friends would come over r and comment how neat is my closet and toys. So I found Ashley who owned a franchise company called Neat Method in DC, and I sent her a DM on IG. he said they are not hiring right now, but I didn’t give up. Couple of weeks later she was giving out some gift on IG, I won it. So I offered top meet for a coffee for me to pick up and started telling her how I love organizing and would love to try. She invited me to the project the next week. I stared as a regular organizer, but quickly was willing to grow more. So in a year I became a lead organizer and helped her with admin work as well.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

So continuing the story, I went on maternity leave and after the 2nd one, one of the old and my beloved clients reached out to see if I can help them since Ashley left and sold her business. I agreed right away, because it was time for me to go out and work after being with kids for a while. So I did the job and thought , why not to try to open my own company. I started small 2 years ago, it was just me and mostly referral clients. Now, I am proud that I have my own company “Minimize and Organize by Jenya Tucker”, and enjoy every minute of what I am doing. Yes, being a business owner is hard and sometimes you want to give up, but then I remind myself how happy my clients are after our sessions and that helps me going.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Try to think what you do good naturally,

Working at hotels I loved planning, and organizing trips & itineraries for clients, I loved moving things around at home as well. That’s how I understood my strength. Also Four Seasons taught me to be attentive top details, and be client oriented. Provide exceptional service no mater. what. In my company we try to customize and personalize our proposals and ideas for the clients, since each home and each family is different.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I would love to collaborate with interior designers and realtors.
Also any business owner that what some organization in their storage units, stores etc.
