Stop Wasting Time: Backend Systems Every Pro Organizer Needs to Scale & Succeed

Feeling buried in the business side of your organizing biz? You’re not alone—and today’s guests are here to help you rescue hours worked and actually enjoy running your business again. 🙌

In this candid, behind-the-scenes episode, I sit down with Stephanie Sikora and Jen Martin, co-founders of Reset Solutions Consulting, to unpack what’s REALLY draining your time, energy, and profits as a professional organizer—and how to fix it without burning out.

These two industry powerhouses built and scaled organizing companies with teams of 5 to 19 organizers, and they’ve made every mistake (so you don’t have to). From charging for ALL your time (yes, even planning and proposals), to using walkie-talkies on site (you’ll never go back), to building backend systems that actually work, this conversation is packed with wisdom, laughs, and actionable insights.

💥 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your systems are secretly leaking time and money
• The #1 mindset shift to go from side hustle to CEO
• The biggest time-wasters in your business (and how to fix them)
• Why perfectionism is costing you profit
• Real talk on burnout—and how to bounce back
• The must-have tools and tech for streamlined workflows
• How to close clients faster without sounding salesy
• What to automate, delegate, or eliminate immediately

🔥 This episode is for you if: You’re a solo pro organizer drowning in admin work, running a lean team and hustling too hard, or scaling fast but stuck in the cycle of I don’t have time to fix this!

This isn’t just talk—it’s a free business audit in podcast form.

🛠️ Ready to streamline, scale, and rescue hours you didn’t even know you were losing? Tune in now, and let’s get your business running like a well-labeled pantry.

👇 ALL the tools, tips, and nerdy organizing gadgets mentioned are linked in the description.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Done is better than perfect. Let go of the control and scale your organizing business with ease.
• You’re probably not charging for everything. It’s time to bill for planning, proposals, and backend time.
• Stop writing 38-step onboarding emails. Close clients faster with proposal tools and pre-qualifying questions.
• Don’t DIY everything. Hire a VA. Use Zapier. Free yourself.
• Burnout isn’t your fault. Set non-negotiables and build systems that support your life, not drain it.
• Stop sending clients 32 basket links. They don’t care. You do. Let your systems do the talking.
• Use the right tools. ClickUp, Dubsado, Loom, Google Chat, ChatGPT, and that sexy little voice memo device (hi, Ploud 👋).

Community matters. Find your people. Learn from those who’ve walked the path—and got systems to prove it.
