We are bringing you a two-parter pod this week because we have SO MUCH GOODNESS!

It is always a great time in organizing when there are things in pop culture and the public consciousness of what we do is high!  The second season of the Home Edit show premiered on Netflix on April 1st, so today on the podcast, we are going to be talking about how you can take advantage of these things, how you can make sure that your business is ready for people to remind themselves that they need someone to come in to their home.  Here is the checklist for what we recommend you do to make sure you're ready for an increase in attention for organizing! 1. Make sure all of your contact information is easy to find and correct on all of your digital properties.  2. Go through your own contact process to make sure all of your links work and that a potential client can easily get to you! 3. Make it EXTREMELY easy to contact you--give potential clients as many ways as possible to get in touch with you--not just a contact form on your website. Make sure you hyperlink phone and emails on your site too for mobile us

Jessica Litman is well known as The Organized Mama, and has built an organizing business that many of us dream of! She also has dreamed of writing a book since she was in 4th grade--and is making that dream come true in April with the publication of "Home Sweet Organized Home." She is talking to us today about her path in organizing, including working one on one with clients both in-home and virtually, as well as a super successful online brand which started with a blog and has grown exponentially.    LINKS FOR LISTENERS: The Organized Mama website Jessica's book "Home Sweet Organized Home" Jessica's Instagram @organizedmamas Pro Organizer Studio courses 

Amy Mayorga tells us about turning her personal passion and interest into a strong onine brand, and how to find your own passion for online presence (hint: it's NOT about having to do social media to be successful!)

Worth, Texas.  LINKS FOR LISTENERS:  Amy's Instagram @minimalistamom Amy's website minimalistaorganizing.com Inspired Organizer® program information

It is our 100th episode celebration here at Pro Organizer Studio--and we are bringing you an extra special message today. Working with organizers each day--we know that sometimes what we tell ourselves, the story about our capabilities and what we are and who we are--sometimes can stop our progress in our businesses. Today we are bringing you a conversation about the book "Soundtracks" by Jon Acuff, which is all about what those messages in our head are, and more importantly--what are some concrete ways we can fix those messages.  If you are struggling with mindset, or negative self-talk--and PS, WE ALL DO THIS!--today is for you.  LINKS FOR LISTENERS: Soundtracks by Jon Acuff Sisters of Industry podcast  Information on the Inspired Organizer® program and community Jon Acuff's podcast (which is awesome!)  

In the last two years, organizers have discovered that there are lots of ways to help clients--and sometimes, even for a business that primarily helps people inside their house, organizers have been able to move to find an audience online successfully. Today we are bringing you an interview that Jen Kilbourne Obermeier did with Carly Tizzano of The Resolve Podcast, and it is FILLED with insight for organizers about finding your audience, and important mindset shifts.  Carly is a member of our Inspired Organizer® community and was an organizer for years when she discovered that she had a passion for helping people set and achieve their goals. Now she is a coach specifically for goals and hosts her own podcast, The Resolve Podcast, where she interviewed Jen. We are excited to offer you a replay of their conversation.  LINKS FOR LISTENERS Carly's website (https://www.carlytizzano.com) The Resolve Podcast (https://www.carlytizzano.com/podcast) Information on Inspired Organizer (https://www.inspiredorganizer.com/j

Sarah Brent did something awesome with her organizing business, which is she saw that there was a need for something in the market, and she kept saying "someone should work on this!" and then realized someone was actually her. We love when someone takes a challenge and is like, wait, I'll tackle that! So we wanted to have Sarah on to talk about what she's doing...and how it can help all our pro organizing friends.  Links for Listeners: Tidy Stock Photography site Coupon code: PODCAST20 for 20% off their purchase!   Organizing Essentials (enrollment closes 1/31)   Information about Inspired Organizer
