If you had to restart your business today, what would you do differently within the first 90 days?

When I started, I knew how to clean but I didn’t know how to run a business. I spent years learning through trial and error. Today, I’d focus much earlier on building systems, understanding my numbers, pricing for profit, and creating processes that could scale instead of just getting through each day.

  • If I had to restart my business today, the first 90 days would be focused on building a strong foundation. I would spend more time understanding my ideal customers, creating a clear plan, and building relationships instead of trying to do everything at once.I would focus heavily on marketing, getting feedback from customers, and creating systems early so the business can grow without everything depending on me. One thing I’ve learned is that a good product or service is only part of the equation — people have to know you exist, trust you, and remember you.The first 90 days would be about learning, testing, improving, and building momentum.

  • I would focus more on the calls I have rather than the calls I want. Nurture the customers who already believed in me enough to hire me that early on. I would treat them more like foundation rather than a stepping stone. I would have found value in each of them rather than chasing new leads where I could find them.
