All I had were the few things I bought at the dollar store and my little red $1 bucket, not knowing if that little bit was going to be enough to pull it off and start a business from nothing. Fast forward six years through all the doubt and uncertainty, Imade my own American Dream and I am proud of my business. The funny thing about the red bucket is that I still use it six years later. The same one. Keeping that thing around reminds me of when and how I started this little “side hustle” that turned into the company that you may (or may not) know as Custom Cleanups.

From my chapter “Things I Wish You Knew”…
Coming home to make a surprise check on your house cleaners? Good cleaning companies use employees who don’t watch your TV, eat your food, use your Wi-Fi or talk on the phone while they should be working! If you catch someone doing any of these things, they should be fired on the spot. We’re there to clean your home, not drink your champagne, connect to your Wi-Fi, or watch your Netflix.

In one of the chapters in my book I talk about secrets to a successful business & lessons learned
I have learned that you can start a business with only one person. Often times it may not even cost you much to start a business. But what you have to ask yourself is “Do I have the right personality to start a business?” Am I compassionate, independent, self-motivated, a problem solver, can I work 60 hour weeks (at least in the beginning) and am I good with following up? These are just a few core values of starting a business. If you’d like to find out more check out my book on Amazon.
