How to Start, Run and Grow a Successful Residential & Commercial Cleaning Busine [Carmen, Maria] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. How to Start, Run and Grow a Successful Residential & Commercial Cleaning Busine

Review: An Excellent How-To Guide - Are you struggling to make ends meet in a dead-end job with no room for professional growth? Have you always dreamed of putting your excellent work ethic to use by starting your very own cleaning business, but don’t know where to start? Then look no further, because Maria Carmen is ready to share her ten years of experience in the cleaning industry with you. Carmen’s hopes in writing this book are that it will show you how to achieve the financial freedom and independence you’ve been yearning for. After a devastating divorce, Carmen needed to find a way to support herself, and fast. Never having gone to college and with no trade skills to speak of, the depressing idea of working in a fast-food restaurant seemed to be looming closer everyday. Then a friend of Carmen’s told her about house cleaning, and Carmen decided to give it a try. Within no time, she began to quickly gain repeat clients and her reputation as an excellent cleaner spread. Before she knew it, she was so overwhelmed with business that she had to hire employees. Today, Carmen owns her own cleaning company with twenty-two employees. Not only has she been supporting herself through her cleaning business, but the confidence she has gained from learning how to be a successful entrepreneur has been invaluable. Gaining that confidence and freedom is possible, as the author demonstrates in her practical how-to guide. Written in clear and easy to follow chapters, the book walks you through each and every step of the business start-up process, with helpful tables and charts where appropriate. From navigating the legal requirements, dealing with difficult clients, choosing the right cleaning supplies that will get the job done, to marketing your business, Carmen has left no stone unturned in her quest to accurately prepare the new business owner. The last part of the book is devoted entirely to sample contracts and legal forms, in order to give the reader a clear idea of what to expect. As Carmen points out, now is a better time than ever before to start your own cleaning business; modern families have increasingly busy lives and don’t always have the time to clean. If one is willing to do the hard work while remaining motivated and determined to reach their goals, the rewards are more than worth it.
Review: From a Dream Into a Reality - A steadfast guide showing the reader that anything is possible if one just efficiently works toward a goal. Nowadays, minimum wage oftentimes is not enough to support one's self, let alone a family if that is the case. One gets to a point where creating a business feels like a far-away dream rather than a substantial possibility as the bills pile up and the cost of living rises with each passing year. However, Maria Carmen presents a very compelling and organized business plan. She gave her idea of having her own business a solid foundation, and ended up living comfortably, employing 22 people into her company, all after a few years of hard work and utmost perseverance. This is the type of life several people look for, but not always know how to start on their own, so the written steps are extremely helpful and informative as a result. Excellent read.
