We were lucky to catch up with Emily Rainier recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Emily, thanks for joining us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

I believe that it takes a heavy dose of positivity and consistency to be successful. Having talent when it comes to your industry is obviously super important, but with out consistency and hard work PLUS a positive attitude, there’s a chance you’ll never actually see success. We live in a world that has gotten way too comfortable with taking the easy route and assuming that it will just work out. The idea of giving 110% for and extended amount of time keeps many from going after what they really want to accomplish. A mentor of mine once told me, “If it were easy, everyone would do it”, and I couldn’t agree more. Those who are consistent and work hard for what they want will see success – whatever that may mean personally. Success doesn’t always mean more $$. Sometimes success if happiness, joy and passion doing what you love, or more time to spend with your family. Stay ambitious, believe in yourself, and work hard for the success you want in your life!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

I’m Emily, founder of The Renewed Space, a personal organizing company for homes and businesses. I guess you could say my love for tidying spaces started at a young age. I specifically remember being 8 when I started begging my friends to let me organize their rooms for them. My Dad was a huge influence in my knack for tidying, as he always kept our house organized growing up. It was always something I was passionate about and was a huge stress reliever for me growing up. When I’d feel anxious or worried, I’d turn to organizing and cleaning to help find mental and emotional peace.

Fast forward to 2021, when I decided to take my passions for organizing and turn it into a business. I figured if I loved doing it for myself, why not help others find the same sense of peace in their personal and professional lives. Thus, The Renewed Space was born!

We organize anything from baby closets, to pantries, to garages, and more! If it needs functionality and organization, we’re ready to tackle the project! While our true passion lies in the art of tidying, what really sets us apart is our love for building relationships with our clients. That you may feel encouraged, supported, and understood through the process, and that it’s evident that we see any opportunity to organize as an honor to be trusted with the spaces in your home or business. Organizing doesn’t have to start and end with a pretty closet, which is why creating relationships and bringing a sense of community and love to each project is what we do best!

Any advice for managing a team?

I’ve managed a couple different teams over the course of my career, and the biggest piece of advice I have is to always take time to listen to your employees. Most of the time your team just wants to be heard, and giving them the time to share their thoughts, concerns, and ideas makes them feel valued. When employees feel valued, they believe that they serve a purpose and are a part of something. With that always comes a higher morale! Also, finding out how each of your employees work, what kind of personalities they have, and how they like feedback can be extremely valuable when it comes to managing a team. Taking the time to get to know your employees individually will create a stronger relationship with them in the long run. Unfortunately, managing isn’t a one size fits all. You have to remember that managing a team means dealing with real humans that all have different talents and needs. Paying attention to that will inevitably build morale and very happy employees.

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Word of mouth has proven to be the best source of clients for me so far, This isn’t the case for all businesses, but I think it can make all the difference in the service industry. When you offer a great experience to a client, they want to tell their friends and family, and then it creates a domino effect. I’m much more likely to take a recommendation from someone I know than send my time googling and narrowing down from the million options that populate. We feel so thankful to have had some incredible clients that have helped spread the word about The Renewed Space!
