Today on the pod I'm taking you to a casual convo we had on a recent live coaching Zoom we do in our Inspired Organizer® group! This was just a snippet from a 90 minute coaching call but it has some great suggestions on apps and other things that help keep us physically healthy on our hard organizing jobs.

I have a simple...but complex question for you today--are you doing TOO MUCH in your organizing business? Are you burning out on back end tasks for your business--but also maybe not spending the time on the things that matter and can move the needle in your business? That's what I'm talking about today--trying to get you thinking about whether you're doing things that just aren't necessary!

My friend and fellow professional organizer Missi McKown sent me a voice message with an idea on how to start this podcast. 

" So this is a cautionary tale. Please do the opposite of everything we do unless you'd like to burnout and stress yourself out, and also start dropping balls left and right, including family, friends, and relationships that are important to you. Okay, let's dive into it!"

We are talking about some things we ...

No matter how great of an organizer you are, there will come a time where a client has something that isn't quite right in their house or something that they aren't happy with from you or your team. How you handle this can go a long way to turning dissatisfaction into happiness--and even getting that client to refer you out or have more sessions.

Hey organizers! We are back with an episode about something that I am TERRIBLE at doing--which is...nothing. I am terrible at doing NOTHING.

My guest today is a friend who is wrestling with that same thing--Kielyn Simonson of OrgaNice in Minneapolis/St. Paul. This epsiode will help you know you're NOT alone in feeling thi...
