Saying no is not as costly as you expect.

11 studies: people overestimate the relationship and reputation risks of turning down requests. People generally don't hold it against you.

Declining doesn't mean you don't care. It means you're taking care not to overextend yourself.

Had our first re-hire today. Employee moved out of state last year. She just moved back and is very excited to come back to "the best job she's ever had".

That's why we do this.

Cleaning co hit 200 recurring clients today. Nice little milestone at the 2yr mark. 🎉

Just keep scaling. 📈

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We spend too much time trying to reach other people's standards, and too little time defining our own.

It's better to disappoint another person than to lead a life that disappoints you.

Success is not about meeting someone else's expectations. It's about living up to yours.

Any tips on not taking things personal as a business owner? Need some new ways of framing my internal reaction to harmless questions that employees ask.

Extraordinary accomplishments come from doing ordinary things for extraordinary periods of time.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The point of reviewing your mistakes isn't to shame your past self. It's to educate your future self.

Rumination is recycling old thoughts about what went wrong. Reflection is looking for new insights on how to do better.

You can't undo last year. You can improve this one.

Feeling that intense hibernation mode setting in. Anyone else?

The hiring gods are smiling on us.

2wks ago: New hire has "car trouble" on first day — completely ghosts... AFTER completing background check, online training, payroll, etc. Huge setback.

Today: 3 awesome candidates interview back-to-back. 3 offers, 3 new hires in 3 hrs.

🧽 My wife, @bec_berggren, and I started a home cleaning biz out of our garage with $1,000. 18mo later, we’re doing $30k/mo with 8 employees, an office, and a waiting list that’s always full.

Here are some things we’ve learned:

Moving 1% closer to my goals everyday. Sometimes that means moving 1% backwards. Sitting with that and trying to enjoy the learning game. #growthasaleader

Fall in love with solving problems for your customers rather than making features at your startup.

I love running a cleaning business and I pour my heart (and body) into it everyday. Constantly thinking about ways to improve, our clients, our employees, communication, products, you name it. Today however, it hit me that I am a bit overwhelmed and could use a vacation. Halp.

When leaders commit to confronting their flaws while also striving to improve, their teams are motivated to do the same.

Our cleaning co is officially dug out of the new client waiting list we've been carrying around for the past 3 months. We've hired 6 more cleaners and moved into our first office space. Next goal: 100 recurring clients by EOY. 📈
