A Million Dollar Home Cleaning Business- Every Decision Ranked | Ep 116
5d ago00:58:43Tap to summarizeCheck out the 30 Day Install Challenge---- https://homecleaningcoaching.com/30dayprogram Last month our cleaning business did $294,000. 🤯 But within the last 12 days — 3 of our 6 office staff quit. Our GM of 3 years. Gone. 1,800 Google reviews. Vanished overnight. @Katie Manzanares was in Japan and I felt alone on an island. I thought we might be headed back to $0. Here's what I realized sitting in that loneliness. What got us HERE is not going to get us THERE. It's like a high school student trying to study like they're still in junior high. The speed of the game gets faster. Our systems needed an upgrade. Today on the Road To A Million call, Katie & I are ranking every decision that builds a million dollar cleaning business from $0. — The exact model that took us from $0 to $294k/month — The model we are swiching to to get us to $500K/month P.S. Katie flew home 5 days early from a trip she planned for a year and paid $1,000 to change her flights. That's how serious this call is.
Transcribe →I Was Scared to Hire One Cleaner. Then I Hired 200. | Ep 115
2w ago00:38:50Tap to summarizeCheck out the 30 Day Install Challenge https://homecleaningcoaching.com/30dayprogram 3 months into starting our Mesa location we were doing $20,000/month. We had 5 cleaners. I was doing everything in the office: scheduling, selling & hiring. One week I remember offering 2 candidates the job... I was excited about them. I had one more interview that week. She was fine. But nothing that got me excited. I asked @Katie Manzanares for advice. She said: "Hire her." I went from excited to terrified. How was I going to fill 3 cleaners schedules at one time? It was going to be expensive to train 3 people at one time!! Then Katie reminded me... "She probably wont show up anyway." I scheduled an onboarding for 3 cleaners. The 2 candidates I was excited about... never showed up. The one I wasn't excited about.. I got excited that she showed up to onboarding. Today, that cleaner is still with us. Our longest tenured cleaner. Never called out once. That one decision taught me the fear of hiring the wrong person almost cost me building the right business. It almost cost me a million dollar business. All because of fear.

Apr 1300:44:37Tap to summarizeCheck out the 30 Day Install Challenge https://homecleaningcoaching.com/30dayprogram Malcolm Gladwell says 10,000 hours creates mastery. I put in my 10,000 hours.

Starting with zero experience in the cleaning industry. And today at 4PM EST I'm going live to share the 3 problems that kept me broke for years — and exactly what it took to break through them.
