Hey Reader,

If you caught my social media last week, then you know I unsubscribed a large number of cold subscribers from my email list. And since you're receiving this note, you were not one of them. 😉

Which means you're someone who wants to be here.

You open my emails, read them, watch a video or two, and maybe even reply.

For all of it, I am grateful.

The last thing I want to do is clutter up someone’s inbox with emails that don’t add value to their life. So I blessed and released the 479.

As I approach the tenth anniversary of my small business, Simply Enough, I’ve gotten really comfortable with the fact that my people are out there. You’re one of them. And there are more who will find me if I stay consistent and keep serving my audience.

You see, entrepreneurship is a funny thing. Ten years ago, I thought I was going to start a professional organizing business and do that until I decided to stop. Then this little thing called the pandemic literally canceled all my clients in a matter of days.

I did not panic.

I pivoted. I found virtual consulting, which led to declutter coaching.

In those coaching conversations, I found myself helping people with not just their stuff, but the “stuff behind the stuff.” I could see how clutter was impacting their time management, relationships, health, finances, and more.

I found myself coaching them through not just the clutter and disorganization, but their lives, too.

I really thought that’s where it would end, but I wasn’t done yet.

As I consider the last 30 years of my career in various business management roles, I can see that I’ve learned a thing or two. And that has led me to coaching professional organizers and service-based business owners who were struggling with inconsistent clients, a dislike of social media, and hourly rates that didn’t reflect their worth.

I’ve been in their shoes.

I’ve been frustrated by a lack of clients, exhausted by social media, and disappointed with inconsistent revenue. I burned out spending so much time at my computer with little to show for it. I wanted to help clients transform their homes, habits, and businesses, but just couldn’t crack the code.

Until two years ago, when I did what I should have done sooner: I hired a business coach.

He helped me see that my journey is one so many people resonate with—and that I could truly help because I wasn’t that far removed from it. I was a 9th grader who could teach a 7th grader or a 5th grader. I’m a few steps ahead (more every day), and it’s helping my clients reach their goals too.

So now what?

Clarity creates breathing room. And I don’t want to assume why you’re here—I want to serve you well.

So, since you’re still here, will you take this quick poll for me?👇

It will help me keep your inbox clutter-free. And if there’s more you’d like to share about your situation—or if you don’t quite fit into one of these boxes—will you hit reply and tell me more?

I’m looking forward to simplifying together.

Amy
