Great Place to Work Spotlight: Smartly Organized of Chatham, NJ


If you've ever struggled with bringing on team members, you're going to love today's episode. Andrea Walker, Certified Professional Organizer® and owner of Smartly Organized, joined up with me recently to share all about her struggles as she went from being a solopreneur to having a team of A-Players.

I've had the pleasure of watching Andrea grow her business over the last five years and we touch on many golden nuggets in this episode. I am sure you will recognize yourself in many parts of this inspiring discussion and experience some of your own great “A-ha!” moments.

Listen in as Dr. Sabrina interviews Andrea on the Profit by Design Podcast to discover what really goes into creating a great place to work. You'll also learn the impact of writing a great job ad and the value of immutable laws being a core part of building a team that takes pride in what they do.

The Tap the Potential Great Place to Work Spotlight features small businesses intentionally creating a great place to work by nurturing their company culture.

At Tap the Potential, we love helping small business owners create Great Places to Work.  We encourage our clients to share best practices to support other businesses in doing so, as well.

Thank you for sharing with us, Andrea!

About The Author

Dr. Sabrina Starling, The Business Psychologist and international best-selling author of the How to Hire the Best series and The 4 Week Vacation™, is the founder of Tap the Potential and host of the Profit by Design podcast. At Tap the Potential, we work to free business owners from the constant demands of a growing business.

We believe work supports life, not the other way around. Clients in our Better Business, Better Life coaching program have more time for what matters most and more money in their bank account than they’ve ever had. Next, we send them off on a 4 Week Vacation™ to celebrate their hard-earned journey to take their life back!

Dr. Sabrina and her team at Tap the Potential are on a mission to change the story of entrepreneurship from one of long hours, grinding it out, to one of sustainably profitable businesses that support and enhance life. The Tap the Potential Solution™ and our Tap the Potential Family of Business Owners are disrupting small business as usual. We are on our way to making the Tap the Potential Solution™ the mainstream model for growing business.

By 2023, 150 Tap the Potential clients will have taken 4 Week Vacations. These are the trailblazers, role modeling what’s possible for entrepreneurs. In many entrepreneurial circles, it is becoming more and more common for one entrepreneur to ask another, “Have you taken a 4 Week Vacation™?” (as opposed to asking “How many employees do you have?” or “What is your annual revenue?”). Taking a fully unplugged 4 Week Vacation is rapidly becoming the recognized symbol of entrepreneurial success.

Never one to accept the status quo or back down from a challenge, Dr. Sabrina’s How to Hire the Best series grew from her desire to solve the toughest hiring challenges interfering with her clients’ growth and profitability. What sprang from her experience working with entrepreneurs in rural areas catapulted her into becoming the world’s leading expert in attracting top talent in small businesses—no matter what hiring challenges those businesses are facing—and earned Tap the Potential’s reputation as the go-to resource for entrepreneurs committed to creating Great Places to Work with thriving coaching cultures and highly engaged team members working from strengths.

As The Business Psychologist, and with her years of driving profit in small businesses, Dr. Sabrina knows what it takes to find, keep, and motivate exceptional performance out of your biggest investment—team members.
