  • 111 | The ONLY 5 File Folders You Need to Organize Your Business with Tracy Hoth
    2025/04/24

    Hey Friend,

    I got to sit down with the incredible Tracy Hoth, and let me tell you—she is the real deal! Tracy’s a professional organizer with 17 years under her belt, a certified life coach, and the host of the globally ranked Organized Coach podcast. She’s also the founder of Organized Coach Academy, where she helps coaches and online business owners get their entire life together—digitally, physically, and mentally—so they can lead their businesses with clarity and confidence.

    Tracy and I first connected through a mastermind course, and from the first time we exchanged emails, I knew I had to bring her on the podcast for YOU.

    If you’re a Jesus-led career mom who’s been dabbling in freelancing but you’re finally ready to turn your God-given expertise into a full-blown online coaching, consulting, or professional service business and you want to stay organized without losing your mind, this episode is your blueprint.

    Here’s what we’re talking about:

    • Why getting organized is one of the most critical parts of building a sustainable business.
    • The five—yes, just five!—file folders you need to organize your business from day one.
    • The biggest mistakes new business owners make with their files (and how to fix them fast).
    • How to make digital and physical organization work together like a dream.
    • Easy systems that help busy moms (like you and me!) stay on top of things without burning out.
    • One small step you can take today to start getting your business files in order.

    If you’ve been praying for a sign to stop spinning in circles and finally feel like a CEO, this is it.

    So grab your notebook (and maybe a cup of something warm), and let’s get into today’s episode.

    I pray this empowers you!

    • Business structures—LLC, Sole Proprietor, S-Corp—what’s right for you?
    • The legal protections most entrepreneurs overlook (don’t get caught slipping!)
    • Why contracts are your best business bestie—and the key clauses you need
    • When to start thinking about trademarks and how they protect your brand
