Daily Habits of Savvy Small Business Owners

Running a thriving small business takes more than just hard work—it requires consistency, strategic planning and a commitment to improving. Smart small business owners develop daily habits that keep them ahead of the competition and position themselves for long-term success.

For over 40 years, Coverall® has been a trusted mentor to the over 8,000 independent Franchise Business Owners in the network. During that period, we’ve noticed certain routines give Owners the best opportunity to maintain a healthy business. Here’s what they do every day to keep their commercial cleaning businesses moving forward.

1. They Plan Their Day with Consistency

Successful entrepreneurs understand that time management and consistency are key to staying productive. They start each day with a clear plan, setting priorities and outlining tasks that align with their business goals.

Strong customer relationships are the backbone of any business. Smart small business owners make it a priority to engage with their customers daily, whether through personalized emails, direct conversations or text messages. They listen to feedback, address concerns and find ways to enhance customer satisfaction, ultimately fostering loyalty and repeat business.

Small business owners who excel keep their employees engaged and inspired by recognizing achievements, setting clear expectations and fostering a positive business culture.  Coverall offers year-round business training to its Owners covering a range of topics, including how to hire employees for their commercial cleaning businesses.
