When you’re just starting out, your time (and energy) is limited. But guess what? Not every growth move needs to be a massive push. Some of the most powerful results come from quick, consistent actions—especially early on.
Here are 4 low-effort, high-impact tasks that take less than 5 minutes but can move your business forward in a big way 💥
💬 1. Reach Out to One Past or Potential Client
Yup—just one message. Text, email, or DM a past customer or someone who ghosted you after asking for info.
Example message:
“Hey [Name], just checking in! How’s everything going since [service]? Got some time this week if you need anything.”
Why it works:
It puts you back on their radar without being pushy. Easy to do, often leads to a reply, referral, or rebooking.
🕒 Time: 2–3 minutes
🔥 Leverage: Re-engages warm leads or past clients with minimal effort
📸 2. Post a Quick Behind-the-Scenes Story
Snap a quick pic or record a short video—your desk, your van, a job in progress, your tools, even your coffee cup with a caption.
Caption ideas:
- “Kicking off the day with installs in Lake Worth 💪”
- “Another day, another happy client 🧼🔧”
Why it works:
People want to see the real you. Even small moments build connection and trust.
🕒 Time: 1–2 minutes
🔥 Leverage: Keeps your brand visible and humanizes your business
🌟 3. Ask for (or Reply to) a Review
Don’t sleep on reviews. Choose one client and shoot them a quick message:
“Hey [Name], really appreciate working with you! If you’ve got 30 seconds to leave a review, I’d be super grateful. Here’s the link 😊”
Or: Go reply to a review you already have. Just say thanks.
Why it works:
Reviews = trust. Every one helps you stand out—and replying shows you’re engaged.
🕒 Time: 3 minutes
🔥 Leverage: Boosts credibility and helps your local ranking
🔗 4. Click Through Your Own Website or Link in Bio
Pretend you’re a new customer—tap your link, visit your site. Is it fast? Clear? Is your contact form working? Is the message still relevant?
If something feels off, fix it—or jot it down to handle later.
Why it works:
First impressions matter. A broken link or slow page could be costing you leads without you even knowing.
🕒 Time: 2–5 minutes
🔥 Leverage: Helps catch small issues before they cost you business
✅ TL;DR: Big Impact, Tiny Time Commitment
You don’t need to spend hours to make moves. Just 5 focused minutes a day doing one of these tasks can:
- Build momentum
- Keep your business visible
- Strengthen your brand
- Reconnect with leads or past clients
Set a daily timer or a sticky note on your screen—these micro-moves compound 📈
