One of the most popular topics with organizers is social media. A lot of people have a view of what social is for their business, but it doesn't always align with the reality. Today we are talking about the dos and don'ts of social and how to really show up in the right way--without stress.

One thing we encounter in our Inspired Organizer group a lot is, "How do I tell someone I don't want to work with them?"

This is going to be the first, and not last!, conversation we have about organizing clients with ADHD, and being an organizer with ADHD. Neurodivergence is the hot word right now--but we are diving into a discussion on how you can help clients even if you yourself aren't fully up to speed on all things in this realm.

Sarah Brent of Practical Harmony in Illinois is talking to us about something she (and I!) are equally passionate about. Here's a little sneak peek:
"Clients need to hear about you and your uniqueness. They need to hear your story, why you do what you do, why you're different from other organizers. Not everybody wants to hire the type A minimalist organizer who's been organizing since they were in diapers.
A lot of clients are looking for organizers who have had firsthand experience with hoarding, chronic disorganization, downsizing, relocating, therapy, recovery, blending families, aging parents, losing loved ones, being diagnosed late in life with ADHD or autism, even something like rebuilding after a fire or designing your own kitchen or closets.
This is what makes you unique and knowledgeable. Share with others what you have gone through, what you've learned along the way and find ways to set yourself apart from the rest of the pack."

While I am calling her a guest today, it is her podcast! Jen Kilbourne is on the pod today. She is the founder of Pro Organizer Studio, and she is the visionary behind everything that we do here. If you are a longtime podcast listener, you have heard Jen's voice on the podcast so many times--she began all of this magic. She started the Inspired Organizer® program, which has helped 900 women across the globe on five different continents start or grow their organizing businesses. Everything you see at Pro Organizer Studio was her vision.
As I was trying to think about how I could introduce this episode, and how I could explain what you're going to be hearing. I was having a really hard time encapsulating it because we go a lot of different directions. I was just about to upload something and I was thinking about, oh, how can I explain this? And one of the pieces of software that I used has AI capabilities and it encapsulates an episode and it went ahead and titled it: Reflections and Transformations. And honestly, I can't think of a better name to name this podcast.
Reflections and transformations is everything that we were talking about. We are talking about buying and selling businesses. We are talking about personal, deep journeys. We are talking about challenges of running a business. How important the impact of major life changes are on you as a business person? We are talking about marriages, divorces, kids, relationships. So many different things here, and I want to just give you one great big giant mega podcast.
I hope it is helpful to you, organizers!

If you have been here for more than two seconds, you know I've been interviewing Kim of Rustic Home Organizing in Portland, Oregon, every year, since she brand new in starting her professional organizing business out. This is her year two recap what she has learned.
Kim has so much wisdom to share. And one of the things that I love is that Kim has stayed really flexible about her business. She has changed when she needed to. She has pivoted when she needed to, she has admitted her mistakes. She has a lot of great lessons for people, whether you are brand new, starting out, or whether you've been in business for a long time.
I always enjoy catching up with Kim. She has a great sense of humor. She's a great person and more than anything, she loves to help other organizers really realize that this is a business that they can start and that they can be a part of.
One of the stories that I loved of Kim was she got a dozen eggs as one of her first payments. And then she moved up to having multiple $10,000 plus months. And that's a part of a journey in organizing—just reminding you that you can start small and then end up big. There are so many ways that you can work this business to make it work for you and to achieve your goals.
All right, let's get started with my second conversation with Kim.

I first interviewed Kim two years ago when her business was BRRAAANNNDD new. In her first year, once she got paid by a client with a dozen eggs. Fast forward two years later--and she had her first (and second, and third) $10,000 month in her business, Rustic Home Organizing.
Kim is giving us all the details on her second year in business--and no matter where you are in your organizing business, there is so much to learn here!

Time capsule for organizers--open! It's a little bit of a rewind week but here's why!
I started something a couple of years ago, with someone in our Inspired Organizer® group who was brand new--she had just started her business and I wanted to interview her about taking the leap into organizing. And then almost exactly a year later, I interviewed her again and learned about what the reality of that first year was--what are some things that went great? What are some things that you wish you had done differently? And then the other day, I interviewed her at the end of her second year, as she goes into her third year--so those brand new episodes will be up this week.
But I wanted to do this rewind to remind all of us where she came from and what her journey is--there is so much good stuff here to hear all over again!
Rewind epsiode 1, this one, is when she was brand new.
Rewind episode 2 is up now as well--after her first year in business (episode 178.)
Current 2024 update after 2 years of organizing are episodes 179 and 180.
Thanks for listening to the Pro Organizer Studio Podcast!

For the last couple of years, instead of New Year's Resolutions or large scale yearly goals, I have picked a word of the year. I pick one word at the start of the year and then I use that as my guiding light, my North Star for the year.
So over the holidays, I spent time reflecting and thinking and trying to decide what that word was, that magical word that was going to guide me through the year for my businesses, and for Pro Organizer Studio.
Today's podcast brings you the word of the year--and why I picked it!
