<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a house cleaning company, you expect to deal with things like vacuum cleaners, baseboards, and the occasional mystery stain that seems to have bonded with the carpet at a molecular level. What you don\u2019t expect is for a bounced check to turn into one of those moments that reminds you why you built the company in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that\u2019s exactly what happened this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Bounced Check\u2026 and a Concerned Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our longtime Dallas Maids customers, Judy, had a check that the bank wouldn\u2019t accept. Normally that\u2019s not a big deal. A quick call, maybe a text, and everything gets sorted out. Except this time we couldn\u2019t reach her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calls.
Texts.
Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now Judy has been with Dallas Maids for something like a decade and a half, which in the cleaning industry is basically a lifetime membership. She\u2019s been with us through different cleaning teams, a few of our website iterations<\/a>, the covid -19<\/a> pandemic, and probably several generations of vacuum cleaners. So our Operations Manager, Angela, did something that made me incredibly proud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t just keep calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She went to check on Judy in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Angela knocked on the door, probably preparing for anything from \u201cOh sorry, my phone died\u201d to \u201cWhy are you on my porch?\u201d Instead she was greeted by Judy, who was full of energy and doing just fine. And she was genuinely touched. Not because of the check. Not because of the cleaning. But because someone from Dallas Maids cared enough to actually come check on her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the kind of thing you can\u2019t train in a manual. It just means the right people are on your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Angela definitely earned a few brownie points that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Plot Twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Then came the part that completely caught me off guard. Judy told Angela she knew her name, and she also mentioned something else that left me stunned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s a huge fan of my blog posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now I have to confess something here. When I write blog posts<\/a> for the Dallas Maids website, I usually assume there are about three people reading them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Google\u2019s search algorithm<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. My future self<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Maybe my mom if she accidentally clicks the link<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    So hearing that a real, live human being actually reads them was a bit of a shock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why I Even Write These Things<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The truth is the Dallas Maids blog serves a few different purposes. Some posts are practical cleaning advice. Those help homeowners and also help our website rank on Google. Search engines like fresh, useful content, and after running Dallas Maids for more than two decades, ranking websites is something I\u2019ve gotten pretty good at. I even wrote about that here in this post: SEO for Newbies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The funny thing about SEO is that once you understand the basics, it\u2019s surprisingly simple. Many companies spend thousands of dollars hiring agencies to rank their website. Meanwhile I\u2019ve mostly just written articles, procured a few backlinks, and done it myself. And that has turned into a huge advantage for Dallas Maids, because the money we would have spent on advertising can instead go somewhere far more important\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Our home cleaning professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"About<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019m proud to say our team members are paid well above a living wage, which gives us a huge competitive advantage by attracting and keeping amazing people who end up staying with our cusotmers for years. Take Delfina, who I mention in article, Celebrating Dignity This Christmas<\/a>. She is coming up to nearly two decades of making our customers happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Other Reason I Write<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Not all blog posts are about house cleaning or SEO. Some are personal. In many ways the blog has become a bit of a diary for me. It\u2019s a place to capture experiences and lessons that I want to remember later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Actually, writing this reminded me of something I\u2019ve been meaning to write about for a while. When I first moved to Dallas after graduating from Baylor University and starting my first “real” job at IBM, I had an acquaintance named Norah Jones. Yes\u2026 that<\/em> Norah Jones<\/a>. She won ten Grammy Awards and Billboard later named her the top jazz artist of the 2000s decade. Even back then she was an extraordinary young woman. Not long after, she left Dallas for New York to pursue music, and of course the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    One of the last things she ever said to me was, \u201cGreg, you\u2019re looking goood tonight.\u201d<\/em> And I\u2019ve been riding that compliment for the past 27 years. But seriously, I\u2019m so happy to see Norah go on to such incredible heights as a musician. And in case she ever reads this and thinks, \u201cGreg who?\u201d\u2026 this is what I looked like back in 1999 (right<\/em>). Feel free to reach out, it would be nice to catch up sometime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Some times, I write about moments that were simply too good not to share. For example, I once wrote about the secret to happiness prompted after a small gesture of gratitude while grabbing my morning coffee: The Secret to Happiness (Courtesy of Timmys and Janet)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And sometimes I write things that I hope my daughters might read someday, like this post about turning academic failure into success: From Failing Freshman to Graduating with Honors<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Those posts are mostly for me\u2026 but if someone else finds them helpful along the way, that\u2019s even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sharing the Story of Dallas Maids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes the blog is also where I share pieces of the Dallas Maids story itself. One of my favorite posts talks about someone who played a role in our early days, an Olympic athlete who helped inspire and support our beginnings: From Olympic Athlete to Dallas Maids: Honoring Esther Kim<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Stories like that remind me that building a company is never a solo journey. Along the way there are mentors, friends, and supporters who help shape the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Building a Company the Right Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Other posts document the practical decisions behind running the company. For example, we eventually decided to purchase our office building. It wasn\u2019t about having some fancy headquarters (though it is pretty posch<\/a>). In fact, it was the opposite. Owning the building simply made financial sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now that it\u2019s paid off, it reduces overhead so we can put more resources back into what matters most: better service for our customers and better pay for our staff. I even wrote about the recent makeover of the office here: Curb Appeal Activated: Our Office Gets a Much-Needed Makeover<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Running a business often comes down to simple decisions like that, cut unnecessary costs so you can add more value where it actually matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Real Secret to Our Growth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Ironically, one of the biggest drivers of Dallas Maids growth hasn\u2019t only been SEO or blog posts. It\u2019s something much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Customer referrals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Happy customers tell their friends. Their friends call us. Those new customers become happy customers and tell more friends. It\u2019s the most powerful marketing in the world and it costs exactly zero dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Why Judy\u2019s Comment Meant So Much<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    What Judy said also reminded me of something important. Some of the blog posts I write are simply to say thank you<\/strong> to the people who trust us with their homes… like this one: I\u2019m Grateful for So Many Things\u2026 Especially You<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Because customers like Judy are the reason Dallas Maids has been around for so long. Twenty two years now, but whose counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Takeaway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    So what started as a bounced check turned into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • proof that we have an incredible team<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • confirmation that someone actually reads my blog<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • and a reminder of why we do what we do<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Angela, thank you for caring enough to check on Judy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And Judy, if you\u2019re reading this\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You\u2019ve officially confirmed that at least one person reads the Dallas Maids blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      I\u2019m still slightly blown away. \ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
