Hey Reader, We’ve had a year. My husband and I are ready to say goodbye to 2025. In case you’re new here, both of his parents passed away this fall, just two and a half months apart. It’s been devastating, but also, we are grateful. We had time with them over the past few years, took them on trips, and made memories. The grief is still heavy, but we did our best with the time we had. There were moments when the caregiving was also heavy, and I wondered if this business was still the right path. So, I hired a coach. Best decision of 2024. He helped me become a stronger coach, see how my work is evolving, and reconnect with the bigger message I have to share. As we look ahead, I’m holding hope that 2026 will bring better health for our family… and even more clarity and growth for Simply Enough Amy. You’ve probably noticed: my coaching isn’t just about decluttering anymore. It never really was. Because the stuff behind the stuff is life.
In 2026, my coaching will continue to evolve—into Life and Business Coaching for Women Who Want Less—but Better. And don’t worry, it’s still 1:1. That’s my one offer. Because it works. Coaching lights me up. (Just ask my husband—he sees the smile on my face after every call, or hears me leave a voice memo on Voxer.) This fall, I tested something new: a 4-week Business Bootcamp for 12 women entrepreneurs. We focused on:
It was wildly successful (and so much fun). At first, I wondered—Who am I to teach business? So now, it’s your turn. Hit reply and tell me—in one sentence. Keep it easy. I read and respond to every reply, and I promise you’ll see articles, videos, and resources from me that speak directly to your goals. I’m taking some time off over the holidays to rest and recharge, but it would mean the world to me if you filled my inbox with your hopes for the new year. Let’s chart our paths together. All my best, P.S. The next round of Business Bootcamp kicks off in January. If you're an entrepreneur who wants support with client attraction, your offer, social media, and calendar planning—this is for you. It’s free, but space is limited. |
I’m Amy Slenker-Smith — business coach for professional organizers. You’ve been booking paid clients for a while now. But you’re still undercharging, overexplaining, and piecing together an income. You’re not new. You’re stuck. That’s what we fix. Sign up here to learn more.
Hey Reader, Almost every organizer I coach has a woman in her head she wants to help. A neighbor. A sister-in-law. A young mom with three kids and a kitchen she has lost control of. A real problem and no budget. I have one too. Here's what I watch happen next. She builds her whole business around that woman. Nine months in, nothing has sold. So she decides her offer is wrong. She changes it once, twice, five times. Eventually she stops and calls it a failed business. Or worse yet, treats it...
Hey Reader, I'm taking my coaching on the road again. First stop: checking on dad and dropping off Zeke the cat. We're meeting friends for a long weekend in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. There's nothing like New England in the fall. 🍁 On Tuesday, I had seven coaching calls. And the same thing came up in four of them. Not pricing. Not marketing. Not finding clients. Talking about their own work. One client rated her confidence at a 5 out of 10. She's a professional organizer. She did everything I...
Hey Reader, This week I had two goals: rest, and show up well for my clients. If you've been following along, I've been on the road a lot. It felt so good to be home. Steve's back after two weeks away. We're headed to see Zack at college today. Our house is peaceful, and I missed it. I didn't take any new client calls this week. And a part of me felt guilty about that, like I should double-check that I wasn't being lazy. I told my coach. He laughed at me. My roster is strong right now, and...
