59 | Can You Profitably Run Facebook Ads? Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

I'm sharing a clip directly from a coaching call with one of my Inspired Organizer students for the podcast today, because well, sometimes the best aha moments come completely unscripted! What I loved about this conversation is that you can REALLY hear the huge change in her mindset from the beginning of this segment to the end, and if you can relate to having any hangups about spending money on growing your business, I hope you'll get a major lightbulb moment out of this, too.

56 | Automation Basics for Your Online Business Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

The episode I'm sharing today was pulled from a new Facebook Live series I did all about online business topics. I'm simply teaching for free, sharing resources, and pulling back the curtain and breaking things down step-by-step so that you can 1. KNOW what options you have and what they look like, and 2. Avoid getting burned by someone trying to sell you information that is freely available.

The content today isn't specific to professional organizers, but it may relate to projects you're thinking of working on for your business while we are temporarily slowed down from in-home client work. Enjoy.

52 | Legal To-Do List for Online Business Owners May 06, 2020

Show notes

Today, I am sharing an episode that was pulled from a new Facebook Live Series I am doing all about online business topics. Rigth now feels like the right time to share everything I know about this topic freely.

I will not be selling a single thing through this side-venture, just teaching for free and sharing resources, tutorials, and breaking things down step-by-step so that you can 1) know what options you have and what they look like, and 2) avoid getting burned by someone trying to sell you information that is actually freely available. So, the content today is not specific to professional organizers but it may relate to projects you are thinking of working on for your business while we are temporarily slowed down from in-home client work.
