Praise be to God! I am so thrilled and happy that the Lord has taken care of you. I don’t think you would be who you are today and have such a testimony if it wouldn’t have been for how You made it. It also makes you a lot more compassionate, and willing to help others. Don’t ever lose that defense who you are in the character that was built into you. I can identify you in many ways.

Thank you for the great content! What happens when you don’t have a cleaner scheduled for a job/task? Let’s say no one was available to clean that day. How do you go about handling that ?
@DJTheBoss4 күн бұрын
I would just assign any of the available cleaners to the unstaffed job/shift. I may need more context of your particular example. But if a shift has no-one staffed, just staff someone. But the issue may be you need another cleaner if you dont have enough people available to cover all your jobs. Or replace a cleaner for someone with more availability.

Hopefully your scheduling cleans and cleaners a lot further out in advance.

This resonates with me so hard right now. I am in the beginning stages of a cleaning business. Just landed a contract with a big dealership. Started yesterday. I was cleaning from 7pm until 230am. I'm here now taking a break. The question "why am I doing this?" definitely came up more than a few times. As they say "Rome wasn't built in a day". I'm reminding myself that this is just the beginning. I like what you have said that goes something like "If you're hiding from the work might as well hide from the money". Good luck my friend. You have inspired me.

When was the last time you tried? The software is currently web based. Not downloadable from the app store just yet. You just log in from your phone’s browser. However added a shortcut to your home screen does give a more native app feel. If you email me i can reply with the free template link but the easiest way would just be to try again on the new site. We did have a period of switching websites so it could have been dropped during that time. Either way hope this helps. Thanks for trying in the first place.

@DJTheBoss5 күн бұрын
Youbare over thinking it. And you also did not google any trademark law for yourself. Dont steal someones name or use something obvious that someone else maybe using in your area and industry. Its highly unlikely if you try to be original that you will have the exact same trademark as another cleaning company. You’re making excuses not to start. Even if you don’t formally file you still have certain trademark rights. So just get started.

I was offered a job to clean a car dealership and I’m meeting with the owner tomorrow but have no clue how much to charge. They said they were happy with the guy that worked there but he wanted more money so they let him go. So I don’t want to bid too low or too high but don’t even know where to start.

Thats what contracts are for. No they cannot just say they were aren’t cleaning well and cancel. We are contracted to do certain things to a certain standard. Nothing more or less. We are either breaching the contract or they are. In which case fees apply according to our written agreement. Especially in the case of early cancellations

Thanks for reaching out. I realized after 4 years of coaching cleaning business owners that the only way to truly help people build their cleaning business is to be there for them on a more frequent and consistent level. I cant do this for all 15,000 subscribers. But for the ones who are serious i can track their progress and coach them through each step, while keeping the individuality that each business has to have to stand out. So the group will meet twice a month with me to discuss business problems, goals, and strategies. Of course theres also extreme discounts for all my events and anything else i offer is free from me. But my goal for the true value is the accountability and community through this typically lonely journey. Does that sound like something you want to be a part of? Mycleaningboss.com/bossesonly

Nice video. I was sent a check for a few thousand and took it to a special agent at the state police. So glad I could see something didn’t look right about the check and also the emails were very suspicious so on receiving the check I ended up taking it in to the police. it’s a common scam and this was 15 years ago! A few popular stock videos, are having an abundance of scammers in the comment section trying to mention about a financial advisor that is awesome you will make a lot with…and then they give the name and it’s ongoing thing within the messages with multiple fake accounts acting as different people trying to scam people out of money with some “amazing financial advisor”. Be safe and vigilant out there. Really appreciate the video kind of refreshed our minds on the dangers of other people taking our hard earned money.

Hello, Question about moving too fast in a business. I stopped calling small businesses, because I assumed they would not have enough money to hire a cleaning service. I actually did get 2 or 3 law offices who do not hire it out. I started calling businesses that banks with multiple locations, trucking companies etc. So far these people already have someone, and some I'm still trying to get in touch with the facilities manager. My question is how big would you try to go at first? I would like to land a $2000 per month contract. That is my goal. I want to scale fast. Starting out my family will help me clean the building. That's 2-3 people besides me depending on how far away the client is. I don't have an official website yet. I started very basic, with a customized email address, a phone number, and a self-designed logo. I have not thought about hiring and am scared that I will call someone too big one day and they will say they'd like a walkthrough and I won't have enough people to clean. Keep in mind that I have called less than 200 businesses. Possibly less than 150. Please excuse my poor typing.
