Hey there! If you're starting a business or already running one, here's something that could literally save your company when times get tough... Your follow-up game. I don't care if you're an attorney, dentist, realtor, or insurance agent - you NEED a follow-up strategy in place from day one. Here's the brutal truth: My business has had its ups and downs over the years. The ONLY thing that's kept us afloat during the rough patches? Our old customers have saved us. Time and again, I'd email, mail, or call our past customers, and a few would come back for tax help, want to sell a home, or need insurance. Something always came through. Here's My System (Steal It): I keep my list divided into two categories: - Current Customers: Purchased in the last 2 years - New Prospects: Added to our list in the last 12 months My Follow-Up Schedule: - Email customers every month (sometimes more) - Mail recent prospects 6x per year - Email the ENTIRE list for big events: holidays, special offers, birthdays I track every response so I know exactly when a mailing works. The Bottom Line: Your existing customers are sitting on a goldmine of repeat business, referrals, and loyalty. But only if you stay in front of them. Most businesses fail because they're always chasing new customers while ignoring the ones who already trust them. Don't make that mistake. Remember: The fortune is in the follow-up. Start building your system today. Your future self will thank you when your "old" customers become your business lifeline. What's your follow-up strategy? Hit reply and let me know!

It's the "Christmas" season, and it feels different this year. Not in a loud, obvious way. In a quiet, almost unsettling way. Growing up, I always knew we would end up at my aunt's house and we'd swing by my Papa's house. Simple. Familiar. It came with an understanding of where I’d be—home with the family. My world was small but steady. As I got older, the focus became the kids, the house, and usually gifts for the kiddos Just a gesture that said, "Merry Christmas" with love. Now people ask, “What are you doing for the holidays?” And that question hits harder than it should. Because the honest answer is… I don’t know. Zoé was born in December and spent time in the NICU. Her 1st Christmas was in the NICU and I had a hard time splitting my attention between opening gifts with the family and wanting to get to her incubator and sit with her.... This year, she's 12 and I feel like I'm right back in that moment of what do I do for Christmas.... there’s no assumed rhythm. No Grandmommie or Papa. No shared moment with my first cousins that says, we still know each other in this way. Instead, there’s space. And space is emotional. It forces you to notice what’s missing. It makes you realize how much of your identity was wrapped up in times long passed. This year I've said I'm a Scrooge... we're not really celebrating. The tree is up but not decorated and that's not usually me. This year isn’t different because something bad is happening. It’s emotional because I'm acknowledging that something ended. And with it, the version of holidays I was used to. It's been slowly happening for 12 years.... But here’s the truth I’m leaning into: different doesn’t mean worse. It just means unfinished. This holiday isn’t about plans or parties. It’s about acknowledging that I’m standing in a transition. I’m allowed to feel a way. I’m also allowed to imagine a future where this season looks like something I want to take part in—not something that just happens around me. So if Christmas is quiet, that’s okay. I just have to convince my kids and grandkids.....
