Gathering to Thrive at Our Annual Summit
Every October, Bee Organized franchise owners from across the country buzz into Kansas City for one of our favorite events of the year: the Thrive Summit. For three days, the Hive comes together to learn, share ideas, and connect with each other. The 2025 Thrive Summit was jam-packed with experts, learning sessions, and opportunities to build relationships with other franchise owners. Our ZeeBees left the Summit feeling inspired, supported, and ready to tackle whatever the new year brings. Andrea Stevens (Bee Organized Central Denver) told us, “Not only was Thrive Summit filled with amazing information and great speakers, but being able to share ideas was invaluable. Whether we needed assistance in one area or could help provide guidance in another area, it truly was a great way to share and cultivate new ideas!” The Thrive Summit isn’t just a conference or training session. It’s a gathering designed to help franchise owners thrive in their business, their community, and their lives. For aspiring franchise owners looking in from the outside, it’s one of the clearest examples of what truly sets Bee Organized apart. Creating Connection and Community Very few people in the world understand what it’s like to own and operate a professional organizing franchise. Imagine the excitement of being in an entire room full of people who are all at different stages of building their business. It can get a little loud with all of the conversations buzzing at once! Perhaps the most valuable thing that Thrive Summit provides for all of us is the opportunity to deeply connect with each other: sitting around the dinner table with other owners, staying up late (or waking up early), telling stories and solving each other’s problems, and surrounding yourself with like-minded people. As Lindsey Leif (Bee Organized Lincoln) told us after the Summit, “Being in the presence of other business owners who truly understand the day-to-day is absolutely priceless. Stepping away from the busyness of life to focus on the future of your business is such a gift to yourself. Relationships grow, friendships are made, and you leave feeling inspired and supported in all the best ways.” The Thrive Summit is also a time for us to celebrate wins. Whether it’s handing out awards for our newest franchise owners or cheering on franchises that have hit a new revenue milestone, each year brings so much to celebrate. This year, we announced several new awards that we are excited to give out for the first time in October 2026, giving us even more reasons to cheer each other on! Building Business Skills A thriving business requires constant learning, and the Summit creates space for franchise owners to focus on exactly that. Each year, we offer sessions to help our ZeeBees grow the specific skills they want to develop. While many of our franchise owners came to us with strong professional backgrounds, that does not mean they are experts at every single aspect of business ownership. Marketing, hiring, finances, sales, leadership … there’s a lot to learn! At this year’s Summit, we hosted plenary and breakout sessions on multiple aspects of professional organizing entrepreneurship, including: Marketing, branding, advertising, and social media strategy Community engagement and local business partnerships Lead generation and closing sales with confidence Nuts and bolts of running a business … from budgets to managing a staff This kind of continuing education is built into the Bee Organized experience, not just at the Summit, but all year long through our ongoing support, resources, and coaching. Strategizing for Success The Thrive Summit is about both the growth of individual franchises and the future of Bee Organized as a whole. Franchise owners get a transparent look at where the organization is headed and how their businesses fit into that bigger picture. At this year’s Summit, we: Shared State-Of-The-Hive updates and organizational priorities Reviewed progress, trends, and areas of opportunity across the Hive Talked openly about what’s working and where we are headed next We also spent time helping franchise owners zoom in on their own businesses, reflecting on the year behind them, setting goals for the year ahead, and mapping out concrete action steps to help them move forward with confidence. We are already counting down to the next Thrive Summit and we would love for YOU to experience this kind of community for yourself. Save the date for October 4 to 6 in Kansas City, where the Hive will gather once again to learn, connect, and grow together! If you are exploring franchise opportunities and wondering what kind of support, culture, and community truly make a difference, we’d love to tell you more. Your first step is to schedule a call with Kristen Christian, one of our co-founders, by filling out this short questionnaire!

To BEE or Not to BEE a Franchisee
Over the last several years, we’ve had the honor of talking with people from all over the country who are considering opening a Bee Organized Franchise in their community! We love these conversations because they help us better understand why people are eager to start their own Franchise—and what roadblocks are standing in their way. Many people daydream about opening their own business because they are feeling stuck and discouraged in their current jobs. In fact, the Harvard Business Review reported that job dissatisfaction is at an all-time high, with 60% of workers feeling “emotionally detached” from their jobs. We know that several of our Franchisees opened their businesses because they needed to make a meaningful change in their work lives. We hear from others that they were motivated by a desire to try something outside of their comfort zone—that they needed a fresh challenge at this point in their lives. And some of our Franchisees made the leap because more than anything else, they love the feeling of pride and joy that comes from helping people transform their lives, one cluttered space at a time. Opening a Franchise is not the right choice for everyone, but it most certainly is the right choice for some of you! So how do you figure out whether this is the right path for you? Our WannaBEE Franchisees tell us that there are three main reasons why they are hesitating to make the leap. 1 Fear of Failure Thinking about failing is scary. After putting so much time, energy, and hope into taking the leap, the idea of failing can be so overwhelming that it keeps one from trying in the first place. Our advice to you is to acknowledge that fear—sometimes things can happen that are out of your control that will lead to failure. But at the same time, you need to be honest with yourself about all of the reasons why success is more likely than failure for you. With a Bee Organized Franchise, you are not alone on this journey. You have a wealth of support, knowledge, and best practices from seasoned and experienced Franchisees who have successfully launched and scaled their own organizing business. You will do the research, talk with experts, and have the Bee Organized branding and reputation to lean on. Fear is a critical part of every new business venture—it’s what helps you sharpen your planning and what drives you to make smart, research-based decisions 2. Financial Risk Starting a new business—especially when you are walking away from a career to start it—is most certainly a financial risk. Especially during the first couple of years, the financial rewards of starting any sort of business can be a bit of a rollercoaster. It takes time to build your business and to grow your base of regular customers. You can’t collect dozens of heart-felt Google reviews and word-of-mouth references all in one day! Unlike many Franchise options, a Bee Organized Franchise has a low financial entry point and you can begin your business from your own home—no need to rent expensive retail space, buy professional equipment, or hire multiple employees out of the gate. When you buy a Bee Organized Franchise, you’re buying a system based on years of organizing, running, and managing a successful business. Plus, you’ll have access to a whole HIVE of experts to help you every step of the way. You’ll have the opportunity to speak directly with the founders and existing franchise owners to understand what it’s like to go through the transaction, learn firsthand about capital, selecting the right partners, organizing your affairs, and what to expect from pre-launch to taking flight. 3. Lack of Confidence One of the roadblocks standing in the way of some of our WannaBee Franchisees is a lack of confidence. But as renowned organizational psychologist Adam Grant reminds us, “You don’t have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action.” What does that action look like? Scheduling an informational call with our co-founders so that you can pick their brains. Talking to friends and family and mentors about your exciting idea. Reading every single page of the Bee Organized website to learn more about every aspect of the mission and business. Meeting with your financial advisor or bank to plan a financial strategy. Our Franchisees learned how to run a successful business by leaning on our expertise and resources. The last part of the Adam Grant quote we mentioned above is just as valuable as the first part: “Never let doubts about your ability undermine your faith in your ability to learn.” We know that making the decision to purchase a Bee Organized Franchise may be your biggest decision yet. If you’re feeling the nudge for change, take the next step and schedule a call today—it might BEE the right choice for you. The only way to find out for sure is to get the conversation buzzing!

Why Not YOU?
If you regularly find yourself daydreaming about doing something more—more fulfilling, more flexible, more YOU—this might be your sign. Maybe you are craving work that energizes you, a schedule that finally fits your life, and a career that reflects your values. Maybe you’ve even started researching new possibilities, like buying a franchise or starting a new business. And yet…something is keeping you from taking that next step. It’s completely normal to feel stuck between wanting change and actually moving toward it. In fact, the moment just before you leap is often when the self-doubt is the loudest. That’s the moment when your brain starts offering every excuse it can imagine: “What if I fail?” “What if I don’t have enough experience?” “What if this isn’t the right time?” But those thoughts don’t mean that you aren’t ready—they just mean you are human and care deeply about making the right decision. What’s Holding You Back? Most of the barriers that stop people from making bold moves aren’t external— they’re internal. Fear of failure. Worries about money. Perfectionism. Imposter syndrome. These quiet roadblocks can be so powerful, but only if we let them stay unexamined. You might worry that you don’t know enough to start your own franchise or that you have to wait until every star is perfectly aligned. But perfection is a myth, and no one starts with all of the answers! Some of Bee Organized’s most successful franchise owners weren’t business experts before they started. They were people with heart, determination, and a willingness to learn. Growth Doesn’t Happen in the Comfort Zone Think back to the times of your life when you grew the most. Maybe it was switching jobs or careers, becoming a parent, or relocating to a different city. Our guess is that you weren’t 100% ready for any of those things, but you showed up, you stretched yourself, and you figured it out as you went along. All of the times of your greatest growth happened WAY outside of your comfort zone because the only time we truly grow is when we challenge ourselves by stepping into uncertainty. Buying a franchise—or making any big life change—isn’t comfortable and it isn’t easy. But if this opportunity is a good fit for you, saying NO to it has its own risks. Are you protecting your comfort zone at the expense of your future self? You Don’t Need to Be Perfect Perfection is a myth and there is no such thing as a perfect franchise or perfect entrepreneur. No one starts with all the answers. No one feels 100% ready when they first open their doors. No one has a perfect track record and a perfect plan. At Bee Organized, we’ve seen people thrive—not because they had an MBA and already owned franchises—but because they were motivated to try their best. Owning a franchise is more about curiosity, grit, and values than it is about credentials or perfection. What If You Are More Ready Than You Think? In our conversations with franchisees in their first year, the term “imposter syndrome” comes up a lot. It’s that little nagging voice in the back of your mind that questions whether you are qualified to own a franchise or wonders whether people will find out that you are just a regular person—not an entrepreneur. It’s important to remind yourself that you are not an imposter—you are a person learning something new. Feeling like a fraud is often a sign you are doing something brave. If imposter syndrome shows up on your journey, meet it with self-compassion. Then use evidence to quiet that voice—remind yourself of your past wins, your work ethic, and your values. And surround yourself with people who believe in you (like the Bee Organized Hive!) and let their confidence in you help carry you forward when yours wavers. Become More of Your Possible Self This isn’t just about a career change. It’s about a personal transformation. When you take a leap like this, you don’t just grow your business—you grow into a fuller version of yourself. You grow into the boss you wish you had. You lead with your heart, you serve your community, and you create something that reflects your values. Imagine yourself a year from now. The bumpiest days of small business ownership are behind you. You’re finding your rhythm and getting more confident with your decision-making. You’re making mistakes and learning from them. You’ve built a team that you absolutely cherish. And you’re making a real impact on your community, employees, and family. And you are expanding into the person you’ve always had the potential to become. Why Not YOU? You get one big, beautiful life. Don’t forget to make room for the kind of bold, meaningful work that lights you up. Maybe that’s a Bee Organized franchise, and maybe it’s not. But if the idea of taking this leap sparks something in you, don’t let that fire go out. Listen to it. Explore it. YOU might be the next addition to our Hive! Schedule a call with our co-founders to start your next chapter—we’d love to meet you.
