Why Smart Cleaning Business Owners Stop Overthinking
In a recent episode of the Grow My Cleaning Company podcast, Mike Campion and Suzanne Bandick tackled a sneaky business killer: analysis paralysis. You’ve heard the phrase before, but this time, they broke it down for cleaning company owners who feel stuck. Mike called it out plain and simple—“Not making a decision IS a decision.” And it could be slowly killing your business.
Winners Are Decisive—Not Always Right
Mike shared that successful business owners aren’t always smarter—they’re just more decisive. They train that muscle by making fast decisions, even when they don’t have all the facts. His trick? Decide fast at restaurants! Why? Because building a habit of quick action pays off when real business choices roll in. Fire someone? Raise prices? Hire help? Don’t wait forever. Decide and move.
Fear of Change Is the Real Monster
Suzanne added that people avoid decisions because they fear change or making the wrong move. But doing nothing still costs you energy, time, and progress. She compares it to an ostrich hiding from danger—just because you don’t see the problem doesn’t mean it’s not coming. That stress you’re carrying from not deciding? It’s dragging you down.
Try This Three-Step Decision Fix
Want to make better choices faster? Here’s the game plan:
1. Decide that things always work out. If it doesn’t go right, fix it.
2. Ask better questions. Not “What if I fail?” but “What if this WORKS?”
3. Quick pros and cons. Don’t spend weeks. Jot it down. Move forward.
Build That Decision-Making Muscle
Mike admits 65–70% of his choices don’t work out perfectly. But guess what? He just makes a new one. That’s how you grow. If you’re always “thinking it over,” you’re not leading—you’re stalling. In business, fast, imperfect action beats perfect delay every time. So if you want to grow your cleaning company, start making decisions like a pro.
