Why I Created Simply Managed: A Better Way to Help Small Businesses Thrive

Nov 23, 2025

 

 

For years, I’ve watched small business owners work harder than anyone should have to—juggling clients, team issues, operations, growth, and the constant pressure to “figure it all out.” I’ve lived that life myself. As the owner of RMD Luxury Window Treatments, I’ve spent more than a decade building a business from the ground up—one that now manages dozens of projects at once, coordinates across multiple teams, and delivers a premium client experience every single day.

Before running RMD, I spent years in organizational leadership and project-based environments where clarity, communication, and structure weren’t optional—they were the difference between success and chaos. That experience shaped how I lead, how I problem-solve, and how I support others.
 

Project management isn’t just something I learned; it’s something I’ve lived, refined, and used to build a thriving business.

Through all of this, I realized something:
Most entrepreneurs don’t struggle because they aren’t capable—they struggle because they don’t have systems that support them.

And that’s exactly why I created Simply Managed.

I’ve heard coaches tell business owners, “You’re not unique.”
I’ve never believed that.

Yes, every business needs the same foundational pieces:

  • Profitability
  • The right people
  • Happy clients

But the way you get there is unique to your journey, your leadership style, your team, your clients, and where you're headed. That individuality matters. It shapes your strategy, your decisions, and the systems that will actually work for you—not against you.

Simply Managed was built to honor that.

Instead of offering cookie-cutter templates or one-size-fits-all playbooks, I wanted to create a space where small business owners could receive structure, clarity, and support that fits their reality—not someone else’s.

Before each cohort even begins, I hold a private 1:1 session to understand you and your business—your goals, your challenges, your current systems, your team dynamics, and the season you’re in. From there, we create a project management strategy that aligns with who you are and where you’re going.

My goal is simple:
To help leaders stop surviving the day-to-day and start running their businesses with clarity, structure, and ease—using real systems that actually work.

This blog is an extension of that mission. Here, you’ll find:

  • Practical, proven project management strategies

  • Real-world leadership tools

  • Systems built for small businesses (not corporate giants)

  • Mindset shifts that help you lead instead of react

  • Templates and insights you can apply immediately

If you’re ready to grow with more clarity and less chaos, you’re in the right place. And I’m so grateful you’re here.

Welcome to Simply Managed—your next step toward building a business that finally supports you, not the other way around.
