    Why I started a Commercial Cleaning Company after failing at two?

    MINDSET FTE 
    In residential, I set my own prices. I always went to bid a house and never gave bids over the phone. I walked in, took control of the bid and gave 2 different prices to choose from. Usually, only a few dollars difference. For example, Silver Plan $120 Gold Plan $135. Most chose the Gold Plan...

    Why I started a Commercial Cleaning Company after failing at two?

    MINDSET FTE 
    Actually, I misread your question above. Why did I make more money when we downsized? Several reasons. A few bad customers, I learned how to do & clean things a little different so I had to retrain the girls and me learning how to manage people. I actually took an anger management class at the...

    Why I started a Commercial Cleaning Company after failing at two?

    MINDSET FTE 
    For my company, it made more profit when I downsized for a short time. And then once I learned a few things, I ramped back up and the profit went up as we added new customers. As for getting commercial customers..... What type are you looking for? Doctor offices, daycares, under 10,000sf...

    Why I started a Commercial Cleaning Company after failing at two?

    MINDSET FTE 
    4 workers or 400 workers is great but the bottom line is.... are you making profit? Is the company making profit? Are you and your partners able to live from the money yet? Are you doing any of the physical work or are workers doing it all? Here is what brings up this question. When I was in...

    Business Credit

    I've never been a credit guy but I must say, good job on trying to think ahead (if you choose to use credit). I totally understand what you are saying. Now, use this train of thought to start some type of small, cheap business now and keep thinking ahead. But.... act now.... otherwise you are...

    Buying your way into the fastlane with debt

    MINDSET 
    Way back when I first turned 18, I thought if I bought something with a credit card, I would have to pay it off at the end of the month. I didn't know you could carry over a balance. But after I found out you could carry over a balance, I always figured if I didn't have the money to pay for it...

    Where do you work from? Home vs Office

    My wife and my grandson are not talkers. I am the talker of the family so they are happy when I am shut up. lol

    Where do you work from? Home vs Office

    I've done both. I started at home and then rented a space and then went back to home. One time I rented an apartment (had workers in each room & used it for guests. MAINLY my brother in law whom I do not like) and it was such a nice apartment we moved in to it (we both like apartment life)...

    I think for a person that is interested in something like this, it could be huge if done correctly. Make himself known as the go-to guy and sell people once they get there.

    From a small town with a big dream

    INTRO 
    My nephew's brother in law works for Pixar. In his spare time him and his buddy do animation videos on Youtube and I have heard it is netting them some good cash. And for him to say 'Good Cash' it must be decent because his wife was a star on the new 90210 and several other shows so they already...

    I thought you wanted to be the KING of Isopods. In order to do that, you have no time to just sit around. You have 50,000-100,000 words to write in 20-40 different articles and those need to be done in the next 180 days. You have $1 bills on your mind while I have $1 million bank accounts on my...

    No, Your Market Is Not Saturated (Wisdom From a 19th Century Book)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Back when I first started my cleaning business, that was all I was told..... there are too many house cleaners in my town. I tried to get all 3 of my sisters to start a cleaning business back then and they said, "No, we have too many already". I sure am glad it went in 1 ear and out the other...

    Starting first business- a drive thru!

    EXECUTION 
    Those intersections that are TOO busy are not good either. It becomes a cluster and people drive right by. It happened to a coffee place here. Intersection is busy as hell but never anyone at the business. Plus, I think they thought if they opened the doors people would drive through.... not a...

    Buy a fast lane?

    I don't have a problem buying in to a business but the idea should be to buy a business worth $600,000 for only $60,000. If it's not the best deal in the world, then pass it up every time. Remember.... he has 1 business to try and sell while YOU have hundreds of businesses to choose from if you...
