We are back with organizer Michelle Parravani of Designing With Less in Atlanta, and we are talking about some easy sustainability tips for organizers working with eco-conscious clients, and Michelle gives us a FABULOUS idea for a pricing differential that I had never thought of before! 

I am so happy to welcome my guest Michelle Parravani of the Atlanta, GA professional organizing business Designing With Less to the pod--she is talking about entrepreneurship as a single woman which is a super important subject, and I can't wait for you to meet her!

When I added photo organizing to my list of client services, it was one of the best decisions I made for my business. Clients are overwhelmed with the volume of photos—physical and digital—and helping them release that burden as a part of the home organizing process is a great gift to give them.

It's one of the hardest parts of professional organizing entrepreneurship--telling a client "sorry, I can't help." This is part 2 of my conversation with Melissa Gugni of her eponymous Bay Area organizing business.

Have you ever wanted to say to a client, “I Quit!!” Today we are going over the how and why of exiting a bad client (or not starting with them at all!)

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. 

Have you ever gotten that pitch to be on a 5 minute podcast that will inevitably vault your business to the stratosphere? I've warned against them before but our intrepid organizer slash undercover agent Missi McKown of Clear Spaces Organizing has done it for you just to talk about it. 

"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…” more here with professional organizer Sarah Brent!

This is a special and unique episode of the podcast, and we are covering a LOT of ground in this episode! Today’s guest is the person who started this podcast, hundreds of episodes ago—Jen Kilbourne, the founder of Pro Organizer Studio.

We finish up our series with Kim with a cautionary safety tale AND a wonderful story about her mom. Enjoy this bonus to wrap up our series!
