Exploring Life & Business with STEPHANIE of Get It Done by Stephanie – Organizing & Move Managment

Today we’d like to introduce you to STEPHANIE.

Hi STEPHANIE, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
Before starting my business in 2016, I was working in SaaS sales. While I was successful in that role, I reached a point of burnout and began working with a career coach to figure out what was next. What kept coming up was something that had always come naturally to me – organizing, helping people move, and setting up homes in a way that made them function seamlessly.

In the beginning, the projects were small, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to get everything right. But what stood out immediately was the client response. I started hearing the same thing over and over again – how “brilliant” certain ideas were. What surprised me most was that many of those solutions were things I had always done instinctively in my own life. That’s when I realized this wasn’t just something I enjoyed – it was something I could build a real business around.

From the start, I treated it as a business, not a side project. A major turning point was building a team, which allowed me to take on more complex projects and expand my services. Around year three, clients began asking for more support during moves and renovations, and that naturally evolved into a more comprehensive, turnkey offering.

Today, I lead a team and work on everything from single-space organization to full-scale move management projects. What sets my work apart is the focus on creating systems that are not only functional but sustainable – designed to work quietly behind the scenes and support how people actually live. At its core, the work is about more than just organization – it’s about giving people their time back, reducing daily friction, and creating a sense of calm in their home.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a completely smooth road. Like any business, there’s been a lot of learning along the way, especially in the early stages when I was figuring out how to translate something that came naturally to me into a structured, repeatable service for clients.

One of the biggest challenges was learning how to scope projects properly. Understanding how long things actually take, how to price them accurately, and how to manage expectations on both sides took time. When you care deeply about the outcome, it’s easy to overextend in the beginning. Over time, I learned how to balance delivering a high level of service while also running a sustainable business.

Another shift came with building a team. Letting go of doing everything myself and trusting others to execute at the same level required a different kind of leadership and communication. It pushed me to refine my processes, be clearer in my direction, and ensure consistency across projects.

There’s also the human side of the work. Every project involves people, emotions, and different comfort levels with change. Learning to meet clients where they are, without pushing too fast or overwhelming them, has been key. Decluttering and organizing are not just physical. It’s behavioral, and that requires patience and awareness.

Each of these challenges ultimately strengthened the business. They’ve allowed me to build something that is not only effective for clients but also structured, thoughtful, and built to last.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
My business is built around creating highly functional, thoughtfully organized homes that support how people actually live. Since 2016, I’ve worked with clients on everything from single-space organization to full-scale move management, helping them transition into homes that feel complete, intentional, and easy to maintain from day one.

What I specialize in is going beyond traditional organizing. While decluttering and organization are a foundation, much of my work now centers around managing the full lifecycle of a home transition. That can include packing, coordinating logistics, setting up temporary living solutions during renovations, and fully unpacking and organizing a home so it is move-in ready in a true sense.

What sets my work apart is the level of thought and execution behind it. This is not about making spaces look good for a moment. It is about creating systems that function quietly behind the scenes, reducing friction in daily life and making it easy for clients to maintain order long after the project is complete. I also place a strong emphasis on meeting clients where they are. Organization is not one-size-fits-all, and pushing people too quickly through decisions often leads to systems that do not last.

Clients trust me because I can handle a lot of moving parts. Whether I am working independently or alongside designers, movers, or contractors, I bring a level of structure, reliability, and foresight that allows projects to run smoothly. That has been a key reason why many of my clients and referral partners continue to come back and recommend my services.

What I am most proud of from a brand perspective is the experience I have built. It is calm, steady, and highly capable. Clients know that when they bring me in, they do not have to manage the process themselves. It gets handled thoughtfully and thoroughly.

If there is one thing I would want readers to understand, it is that organization is not just about having a tidy home. It is about creating an environment that supports your time, your routines, and your mental clarity. When that is done well, it becomes something you feel every day, not something you have to think about.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
What matters most to me is creating a level of ease and clarity in my clients’ lives that they can actually feel every day.

A well-organized home is not just about how it looks. It is about how it functions when no one is thinking about it. When systems are set up properly, they remove friction, save time, and allow people to move through their day without constant decision-making or frustration. That shift has a real impact, especially for busy households.

It is just as important to me how a client feels at the end of a project. I want them to feel calmer, more in control, and genuinely supported throughout the process. When the work is done well, there is a noticeable sense of relief and confidence in how their home now operates.

Sustainability is also a key part of that. Anyone can create a space that looks good in the moment, but if it does not align with how someone actually lives, it will not last. The goal is to create systems that hold up over time and continue to support them long after the project is complete.

Ultimately, I care about delivering something thoughtful, reliable, and lasting. When a client brings me into their home, they are trusting me with more than just their space. They are trusting me with their time, their routines, and a process that can feel overwhelming. Making that experience feel calm, handled, and genuinely positive is what matters most.
