    What I Learned Operating A Commercial Cleaning Company

    EXECUTION 
    @CPisHere, we cleaned commercial buildings. Although we did have some national clients or clients that weren't headquartered in our city, our bread and butter were mostly locally owned white collar businesses. They were just easier to clean and easier to keep employees in and happy!!

    EXECUTION 
    @CPisHere, Thank you, I appreciate it! Great question... It would have been preferable to have full-time employees (less overall employees) vs. part-time employees and maybe it would have gone a little smoother, but maybe not. However, with absences (planned or unplanned) once you get too...

    @Bones81, I was thinking more about your situation and a good one mind you, single, cash flush, and have life experience. Go to Denver and live it up!

    What would the perfect cleaning company be for you?(Business/Real Estate Owners)

    @Ksalazar, I like the part about the accounts being supervised or checked each night for assurance, that's definitely important, both for quality and building security. I wouldn't go into too much detail about how you would go about discouraging theft because you'll be unnecessarily going down...

    Concept feedback request : Appartment rental for day-use

    Hi @StefanoUP, Yes, I understand what you're trying to do. I don't think it is deal-breaker/show-stopper. I think you're target market is business travelers, that need the space quickly. - For an afternoon and don't want sit in a coffee shop for 4 hours. - Flight arrives late and all they...

    Concept feedback request : Appartment rental for day-use

    Hey Stefano, My first thoughts were you were starting a hotel/Airbnb by the hour ... however, I think we all can agree, when travelling, it is horrible not being able to check into a hotel or place you are staying when you arrive. You opened my eyes to the Dayrooms.com concept, had no idea it...

    Hey @Bones81, What @Johnny boy said, let me add, if you decide to sell your house now instead of holding out until January for the company bonus (however, if you're done, you're done, I get it--no amount of money is worth, but you also have to be strategic and level-headed), then be prepared to...

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Hey Brian, I see the value in your product, very cool! As people have mentioned, your price is high, however, if you can land a contract with a high-end hotel with multiple locations, your price per unit would come down over night. Think outside of residential. Great work!
