Free education:
I believe it’s possible to get an MBA-level education without ever setting foot inside a university. A client of mine started her company at the age of 22. She had just arrived from a third-world country, with no education, and spoke only broken English. It’s now a year later, and she’s making more than most people with university degrees.
The skills you learn from this business won’t just apply to cleaning toilets. The basic principles can be applied to any business, in any industry.
This is life experience. And you can’t buy that from a school, or read it in a book.
Easy to start:
Thanks to the internet, you’ve now got access to a wealth of information on just about any topic you can imagine. There are so many sites out there offering advice on how to start a cleaning business. And much of it is free.
Finally, cleaning is an inexpensive business to get into. You don’t need any expensive equipment to start.
Lots of opportunity:
When starting your own cleaning business, it may seem like you’re aiming low. But really, there’s tremendous potential in this industry. Take a drive down any major metropolitan area. You’ll see millions of houses and offices, with millions of floors.
And every one of those floors needs to be cleaned by someone.
Even if your market is already saturated, many of these potential customers are dissatisfied with their cleaners. And that means more opportunity for you.
This industry is notorious for its price wars. Everyone is always trying to offer the best deal in order to get the contract. As a result, there are very few companies that offer “premium” services. If you can offer a higher standard of service, customers will flock to you and they’ll pay extra for the added value.
Make connections:
In my opinion, there is simply no better way for the average person to build a valuable network, and become friends with the most influential people in society. Because you’re primarily providing services to businesses and the affluent, you’ll meet these people and become quite close to them.
One of my customers is a world-famous author. I’ve been a fan of his work since I was in my teens, and I’d never imagined in a million years that we’d be good friends like we are today. Few other easy-to-start businesses offer this kind of opportunity.
