The Pro Organizer Studio Podcast

One year ago, we introduced you to brand new business owner Kim, who had just opened Rustic Home Organizing in Portland, Oregon. Melissa caught up with her almost exactly one year later to hear about what she learned (the good and the bad!) about starting an organizing business. Kim is an open book about what she thought she knew, and what she realized she didn't know at all...and everything in between.  If you want to catch up and remember what she said last year--hit up episode 97 of the podcast, "Taking A Leap: Lessons from a Business Launch."

My husband works at home and currently he
