The Order Matters

Strategy, systems and sustainable growth.

September 2026

Hi Reader,

Well, this month's Loyal Roundup is showing up a week later than planned. We were in British Columbia visiting family, and I'm still getting back into the swing of things. 😂

But the September content is worth revisiting because something interesting emerged when we brought together my Loyal Edge emails and LinkedIn posts.

Sometimes the problem isn't what you're doing. It's the order you're doing it in.

Think about hiring help before you've figured out your processes. Or adding a new service because you have room on your calendar, without considering everything that comes with it.

Those decisions affect more than your workload. They can also affect how consistently you communicate with clients and how easy you make it for people to work with you.

🎧 The Order Matters

This month's audio conversation connects the dots between capacity, clarity, systems, and client relationships, with a few interesting observations about what deserves your attention in the first place.

👉 Listen to The Loyal Roundup: The Order Matters​

And here's one question worth considering as you listen:

What needs to happen before I take this next step?

Sometimes answering that question can save you a lot of unnecessary work.

Have a great weekend,

Lucy

P.S. Missed some of September's emails or LinkedIn posts? No homework required. The Roundup brings the bigger ideas together for you. 😉

Issue 19 | October 7, 2026 Hi Reader, I got back from a 10-day road trip to Canada over the weekend, which means I'm currently in that familiar post-vacation phase of catching up on everything that happened while I was gone. Yesterday was only my second day back at work. I had plenty to catch up on, so this was definitely not the week I would normally decide to add build a new resource page to my list. And yet, by the end of the day, I had one. THE OPENING SIGNAL I've wanted a more organized...

Strategy, systems and sustainable growth. Hi Reader, I’ve had two conversations recently that started in slightly different places but led me to the same question. One was with a client. The other was with a business owner thinking through what she might do next. In both cases, there were plenty of possibilities. New things they could try. New directions they could explore. More they could add. But they also already had quite a bit. So before we started talking about what else they could do,...

Issue 18 | September 30, 2026 Hi Reader, I hear two very different things from business owners when we talk about AI. Some tell me, “I know I should be using AI more.” Others say, “I don’t really want to use AI more, but I feel like I should.” They sound like opposite problems, but I think they have something important in common. They’re both starting with AI. THE OPENING SIGNAL AI keeps showing up in more of the tools we already use, with more things it can help us do. So a lot of the...
