When I worked in corporate America, we did NOT like our competitors. Then I became a professional organizer, and I found out that I LOVE my competitors! I’d like you to meet one, my friend Cori of Meat & Potatoes Organizing.

Sarah Brent of Practical Harmony in Illinois and Tidy Stock Photography is talking to us about something she (and I!) are equally passionate about. As she says, “We are not all the same!” Professional organizers are all very different and showing up as the REAL you when you talk about your business is super important.

Jen Kilbourne is on the interview couch today. She is the founder of Pro Organizer Studio. 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.

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. 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 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!
