As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, it’s not just your closets and pantries calling for a refresh — your business might be due for a good old spring cleaning, too.
For small business owners, especially those of us who wear all the hats, it’s easy to let clutter pile up — not just physical clutter, but digital, emotional, and operational as well. This season, instead of trying to do all the things, try this 4-part approach to clean up your business with clarity and ease.
1. Declutter Your Offers
Are you selling 5 different things when only 2 are actually moving the needle?
Tip: Log into your QuickBooks, Stripe or PayPal and look at what sold in the last 90 days. What’s consistently generating revenue? What’s causing more stress than sales?
Streamline your offers to the ones that align with both your zone of genius and your ideal client’s needs. (Need help identifying those? See if a 50-min strategy session with me is a good fit for you.)
2. Scrub Your Schedule
Are you stuck in reactive mode or intentionally designing your week?
Audit your calendar with fresh eyes:
- What can be automated?
- What feels draining?
- Where can you batch (I call this “time chunking”) similar tasks (content creation, client calls, admin)?
Tip: Set up a recurring “CEO Time” block once a week — a dedicated space to review progress and make proactive decisions. Treat it like a client meeting.
3. Tidy Up Your Tech
Let’s be honest, when’s the last time you actually used that shiny subscription you signed up for last year?
Take 30 minutes to:
- Cancel unused tools or apps
- Consolidate platforms (Do you really need 3 email systems?)
- Backup important files
Digital simplicity = mental clarity.
4. Polish Your Messaging
As you evolve, your message should, too.
Pull up your website, Instagram bio, or email welcome sequence. Do they reflect the person you are today — and the clients you actually want to work with? (Is it time for a client review?)
If not, pick one place this week to update. Small tweaks go a long way.
Spring cleaning isn’t about perfection — it’s about alignment.
By intentionally letting go of what’s not working, you make space for growth, energy, and joy in your business again.
So take a breath, roll up your sleeves, and clear the path for what’s next.
