We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Ryen Toft a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Ryen with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
I get my work ethic from my grandparents and my parents. They all are very dedicated to anything they put their minds to. The first ones into the office, last to leave kind. Seeing them work hard, being able to provide, and creating a fun, loving, and respectful working environment wherever they were was very inspiring.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be doing what I love everyday. We have the best clients ever, and helping to transform their houses and businesses all while changing their lives is incredible.
Whether we organizing a garage, or master closet, downsizing during a big move, helping to pack, or decorate for a holiday we do it with grace. Our clients know that whatever life throws at them we are there to help along the way.
I love helping others grow in a profession they are passionate about too. It’s such a blessing that in the process, we’re successful as a business and able to give back and donate to our community in the process. We’re looking forward to another year of growth, growing our teams in San Diego, Orange County, LA, Dallas, and Colorado.
We have Simply Luxe branded products launching on Amazon this year,. It will be so exciting to see people using these pieces in their own homes and spaces!
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I think having my dedication, resourcefulness, and years of experience have been the most impactful in my growing the company.
My advice would be to start with a strong business background. Being an entrepreneur is not for the faint of heart-knowing the ins and outs of leading, creating systems, and operating a business will help you immensely.
Networking is your next best friend, getting in the experience, making mistakes in the process and making sure to learn from every single one will make you invincible.
And just going for it!
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
We love connecting with real estate agents looking to welcome their new home owners into their homes. We can help to unpack and organize so that they walk into a fully welcoming and organized home from the get go.
We also love working with interior designers. We can help during the remodel process, before/during/after so that the client doesn’t feel overwhelmed throughout the project. We can keep things organized throughout it all.
House managers, personal assistants, and business managers we’ve been very instrumental to because we’ve helped their high end clientele through moves with a white glove, through remodels, and even their family members.
We can help in so many capacities. Our team all have signed NDA’s on file, background checks, and extensive training. This is what gives everyone the trust and instant gravitation to us.
