In this video, we want to share with you real data from hundreds of clients that we have worked with one on one. So this is what they shared with us, we went through every communication that we had with them. And we use their words, this, these are not our words, this is what they brought us what they told us, or what they communicated to us. So the majority of the people were feeling overwhelmed. They didn't really know how to change or how to get started, but they wanted to do something different. So I want to include that how how do we make this?

How did we find out that these were the top so basically, what we did is we cut and pasted all of the word and text that we'd ever received through email, and then we word clouded that information. So when you do that, it tells you how many times a certain word appears. And that's how we found this information. So we didn't like do quantitative or qualitative research. We just actually took words Found out which ones were repeated. We actually spent like a whole day doing this because we went through every single form that we received.

We went through every single email, initial email where people were describing the problem. And it was really, really interesting and eye opening, to read that and to see how many, like, common words, clients were using different clients from different walks of life, they were using kind of the same words. And we've been in business since 2012. So at the time, it had been about four and a half, almost five years worth of content. And what we do, we are professional organizers. So we are generally you know, putting ourselves out there as people who can help you declutter, downsize.

So that's where we're coming from. So you've got a little bit of a background story, but then not to interrupt. So the main concerns, number one repeated word over and over again was overwhelmed. Oh, we are overwhelmed. I am overwhelmed. That was a very common one.

Then why are you overwhelmed? And the answer was the same, because there is so much to do because I have so much on my plate, because I don't know where to start. It seems that they never have enough time to get things done. That's always like the theme, right? And there was there was a fear there. So we have the word budget up there that people just are so uncertain, because they don't know a lot of people who are feeling the same way they are, they have no idea what this issue is, or is it going to cost me a lot of money?

Or is this something that, you know, I can even afford to get help or find help or use something that's going to help me and the truth is, you know, just by you watching this video, I mean, that's your budget. So you can do this on your own. You can read really great content, really good books, and which we are going to share a bunch of people who have inspired us in the content below. Yeah. Yeah. So as you can see underneath, the last one is lack of results.

And then it's interesting To see that budget was before but sometimes you are lacking results, you are not getting what you need. So how much is that costing you? How much is it costing you every day, every month, every year of your life. So minimalism, it's going to allow you to change it's going to allow you to, to get to those results. And when you can get there every single, like improvement that you are making, it's going to last you forever. So your life is going to improve Forever After doing that change.

So budget is, as Amanda was saying, you can do this on your own or you can hire someone or you can watch videos, whatever inspires you. But when you can get that done, when you can start making improvement in your life, those changes are going to last forever. So I think it's so worth it to just invest a little bit of time in yourself. We personally have felt all of these things, because we came from a place where we you know Were starting a business and neither of us had business experience before we'd always been employees. We had always worked for people and had this desire to kind of feel like, Okay, I understand how you're doing this. And I think I can do it as well.

But it's still not the same as Okay, now I'm my own boss. Now, there's no one telling me what to do. We were very fortunate because there's two of us, so we were in it with someone else. So we weren't solo entrepreneurs, but we feel we still feel overwhelmed. So the difference between some people who don't recognize these certain things and how to fix them is that when you start to have those feelings of overwhelmed, that's a really good sign for us that Wait a second, it just means that we're we're losing our focus or, you know, we need to dial back or we need to push forward or you know, those kinds of things. You're all of a sudden aware, so we felt overwhelmed.

We had no idea where to start when we started our business. It's hard every day to keep the motivation over. 100% but there are ways of making it easier to get motivated, we get really, really excited about sharing this stuff, because we're freaking passionate about it. Like we love it. And we love sharing it with other people. So that's what really keeps us motivated.

And then every time we have someone send us an email, like we got one this morning saying, you know, I've been following what you're doing. I'm reading your blogs, and it's really making a difference for me. And then we say, Hello, there's great motivation. Thank you for sharing that with us. Because that is what we need to also feel that we are doing the right thing that our passion isn't just something that's a pet project. It is real.

And yeah, and it's like, as I was saying, like, this is huge, your life is going to improve forever. And honestly, we have included some clients stories in in videos or in the extras that you can see real people that they have transformed their lives. And when we see those transformations happen, that's the best fulfillment that we can get. Because we are here being older people to get what they want in life, to follow their passion. And that's, that's priceless. So we're going to jump into the next video which is talking about the feelings and we just wanted you to know that if you've had these concerns, you're not alone.

There are a lot of you we are included in that part. And and we seek help when we need help. Yeah, and that's what I wanted to mention before leaving is that doesn't matter where you are on your journey. Anytime you feel overwhelmed anytime you feel that you don't know how where to get started or how to do something, working with working with someone else is really powerful. Could be a really good friend could be a family member could be an accountability partner, could be a mentor. We use mentors all the time.

We have used them a lot because sometimes you are trying to overcome a challenge that you always had. And you are in your head. You have your ideas, you have your ways of doing things, and you need fresh ideas. You need a fresh set of eyes looking at your challenge and inspiring to try something different. So every time that we have worked with mentors, it's been huge. We have seen a spike in performance and in inspiration, so please if you are feeling stuck, look for someone to help you could be a group could be a friend, a family member, whatever.

But don't don't get stuck. Just keep moving. Keep trying something different until you find the right fit. see on the next video, see you in the next video.
