Chase Happiness Through a Service-First Focus

Why More Businesses Should Put Service First

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s tempting to lead with productivity, pricing, or product features. But real, lasting business success often starts somewhere quieter — somewhere more human: with how you make people feel.

That’s why I believe more businesses should adopt a service-first mindset.

I’ve spent the past twenty-five plus years building a brand that puts people first — not as a gimmick, but as a way of doing life and business. At The Concierge Office Suites®, our model was built around anticipating needs, showing care, and creating space for people to do their best work.

We didn’t just set out to lease office space. We set out to build relationships.

That’s what true service does. It builds trust. Loyalty. Connection.
And that’s what keeps people coming back — not just for what you offer, but for how you make them feel while you’re offering it.

What Does It Mean to Chase Happiness Fiercely… in Business?

Chasing happiness fiercely means refusing to settle for surface-level success.

It’s not about putting on a smile for branding purposes or trying to manufacture joy in a customer service script. It’s about infusing care and purpose into every interaction, every moment, every decision.

At The Concierge Office Suites®, this mindset runs deep. The business was founded on a mission to support business professionals with highly personalized, proactive service — taking a cue from a hotel concierge concept and applying it to an office environment.

When I came to work here in 1999, I knew we had something special. I focused on truly integrating the concierge concept by really listening to our clients’ needs and creating meaningful business and personal connections. It wasn’t just about renting space — it was about serving people well.

That focus only deepened when I purchased the business in 2006 from the founder and made it my mission to expand the model without ever losing the heart behind it. The result? A trusted environment where people feel seen, supported, and valued every day.

What Happens When You Serve Fiercely

When you lead with service — I mean genuine, people-first, eyes-wide-open service — the results go far beyond your bottom line.

You start building something deeper: trust, loyalty, and community.

At The Concierge Office Suites®, we’ve had clients stay with us for over 20 years. That kind of loyalty doesn’t come from flashy marketing or low prices — it comes from consistency, care, and a culture of intentional connection.

We’re not just answering calls or managing meeting rooms.
We’re remembering names and life events.
We’re paying attention to how someone takes their coffee.
We’re noticing when someone needs a quiet space… or a little encouragement.

These might sound like small things. But they create a ripple effect.
When people feel cared for trust is built. They want to stay because they know you have their back.
And when a business becomes a place where people want to be — where they feel seen — that’s not just good service.
That’s good business.

And it’s not just about the clients. When your team is empowered to care — to take initiative, to build real relationships — they find more joy in their work, too. You create a workplace where service isn’t an obligation — it’s a source of pride.

That’s the magic.

The Takeaway: Build Something That Feels Good for Everyone

If there’s one thing I’ve learned after years of growing The Concierge Office Suites®, it’s this:

You don’t have to choose between professionalism and warmth.
You don’t have to choose between structure and soul.
You can build a business that feels good for everyone — including you.

When you serve fiercely — with intention, care, and consistency — your business becomes more than a service provider. It becomes a trusted partner. A steady presence. A place where people feel confident, comfortable, and connected.

And that, to me, is chasing happiness fiercely in action.

So whether you’re just starting out, pivoting your business, or reimagining how you lead — ask yourself:

• Are you building something that brings people peace of mind?
• Are you creating experiences that reflect how much you care?
• Does it bring you joy, too?

Because service isn’t about perfection.
It’s about showing up.
And when you show up with heart, happiness has a way of finding you — and staying with you.
