Your business needs to evolve to carry the weight of business growth. Let's move from survival to sustainable and get your house in order.

Early on in our business there was this clear path to follow. It may not have felt clear, but looking back we can see there was a checklist of sorts to complete that put systems in place that would support us so we could officially say, “I am open for business.” Once that checklist was completed it was time to get down to the business of building our business. We networked, collaborated, and of course sought out new clients, and kept a pretty busy schedule trying to fit it all in, all while those systems were in the background doing their job.

Like me, you might not have checked in on those systems all that much. After all it wasn’t like you didn’t have other pressing and more urgent things to take care of. And no doubt what you put into place to get things going has probably served you well, but here is something we don’t often think about…

Those systems we initially put into place to support our business were designed by and for a startup fledgling business.

The new year is in full swing, and I don’t know about you, but every year at this time I take a long hard look at my business, and ask one simple question…

“How can I make things run more smoothly?”

Thankfully this year I have someone I can lean on when things get too complicated, and she happens to be our guest on The Solo Grind today.

We spend a lot of time trying to keep clients happy and coming back. We tweak our services, refine our systems, and look for the next thing that will make us stand out. But real loyalty is often in the small moments that happen along the way. Today, we’re mapping those moments intentionally, so the client experience you're creating matches the kind of business you want to build.

What I hope you take away from today's episode...

• Customer loyalty is built through connection, not just great services or smooth systems
• Every interaction is a touchpoint, whether you’re aware of it or not
• Small, thoughtful moments often matter more than big gestures
• As a solo business owner, your flexibility is a powerful advantage
• Clear communication and consistency build trust faster than perfection
• A strong closing matters just as much as a strong first impression
• Staying connected after the work is done keeps relationships alive
• Loyalty grows when clients feel seen, supported, and valued
