Setting up your business might seem daunting, but it’s a one-time effort that pays off in the long run. This includes naming your business, processing payments, tracking finances, and ensuring you’re legally protected.

Ask Yourself: On a scale of 1 to 10, how legitimate does your business feel?

Marketing isn’t just about attracting clients; it’s about retaining them too. A successful organizer doesn’t just rely on new clients but ensures repeat business.
