We are diving into one of THE most important subjects for organizers--working with clients with ADHD. 

Adapting to clients with ADHD means talking about how we need to emphasize the wide spectrum of symptoms and the need for flexibility. We are also talking about the significance of not overcomplicating organizational systems and maintaining simplicity for clients.

How is the professional organizing business growing and changing--and how do YOU adapt so you don't lose out? We're talking about it today on Day 2 of the Week of Cabri on the pod!

Cabri Carpenter is the owner of Minimize Then Organize in Lubbock, Texas and she is a coach in our Inspired Organizer® program. We are calling this the “week of Cabri” because we talked about SOOOO many things on the podcast that I decided we were breaking it up into four awesome parts so you can really concentrate on all of the things we discussed.

Hi! I'm Melissa--and I am a professional organizer!

I love trying new things. So today, I'm honoring the modern day short attention span with A FIVE MINUTE PODCAST (but it's about an interesting topic!) 

I am here with Cabri Carpenter, a successful organizer at Minimize Then Organize in Texas, and coach at Inspired Organizer, to discuss the importance of appearing detached to attract more clients. Trust us!!! We can explain!! 

I am about to launch a brand new free workshop, which means I am retiring one I love, called the "Pro Organizers Profit Plan." Jen and I created this workshop to help both new and experienced organizers streamline and grow their businesses.

Key topics include overcoming common mistakes, effective marketing, personal branding, and leveraging systems and data to achieve goals. 

The record-screech moment in this podcast is in the title: The definition of self-care is "creating a life that you don't regularly need to escape from." My guest Tami Hackbarth is back to drop some knowledge bombs for our home life and that can help your organizing clients live better as well. 

Today I am talking about balancing the domestic load, in a conversation with life and work coach Tami Hackbarth. We are discussing the Fair Play method, focusing on the redistribution of domestic labor and mental loads to create a more equitable household dynamic. This episode is one where I want to bring together help for you as an entrepreneur in professional organizing, along with ways you can help our organizing clients as well--it's a double win!

There are six months left in 2024 which means it's time for a mid-year check in on your organizing business! Melissa is taking a July reset and she'll talk about what that means and how you can get some of that magic too. 

When I signed up for a trip to Japan with Marie Kondo's team from KonMari Media, I figured I would get some good sightseeing, some good food, and get to meet other organizers and have some good pictures for social media. What I didn't expect was to have a truly life-changing experience that has made me look differently at my business and my personal journeys--and my guest Kristin DeCou from Modern Refresh is here to talk with me about our amazing trip across Japan!
