THE WHY
Have you ever teetered on the edge of burnout? I know the feeling all too well, especially after the tumultuous year of Covid. I launched Systems by Susie in 2014, but it was in 2020 that we really hit our stride, growing from a team of 5 to 15 members in just a year. I was exhausted and overwhelmed from wearing all the business hats from inquiries to invoicing. Although I started this business out of a love for helping people and organizing homes, I now had to figure out how to operate a sustainable business so that I didn’t burn out.
I needed efficient systems for my business so that I wasn’t the only one doing everything. It required standardizing the way we did things, a whole host of new tech tools, and hiring the right people for the right roles. I had to let go in order to grow. It didn’t happen overnight, but once these systems were in place, my business ran smoothly and independently of me because we had clear systems and clear roles. When I reflect back on this growth stage of my business, I realize that it didn’t need to be so hard. If I had other pro organizers to learn from and share resources with, it would have been an entirely different experience. That’s why I created the Pro Organizers’ Speaker Series – to feature experts who can help guide the way so you can focus on what you love most: organizing.

Hi Susie! Just a note to tell you how much I loved the last speaker series. Having three different organizers share three different ways of handling the same thing was fabulous! Each strategy helped me tweak and improve my own process. Can’t wait for the next one!
