The Hardest Money I've Ever Earned - I Quit House Cleaning Mar 27, 2018

Show notes

The hardest money I ever earned came on the heels of business failure. The hardest money I thought was being in business for myself. I was so wrong.

Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru gives tips to avoid the hardest money you'll ever earn when you close your business. If need be, quit your job, walk away and find a job recruiter. Join a staffing company, have a job interview but don't tell them you're a house cleaner. "I went to work for a staffing agency and it was the hardest work I've ever done and the hardest job I've ever had." Cleaning would have been so much easier - and they don't teach you this in house cleaner training.

Today's sponsors are My Cleaning Connection (A resource hub with motivational resources to keep you going on the worst day of your life. Also, Savvy Perks, Employee discounts for cleaning employees to inspire them to show up for work tomorrow.

Daycare or House Cleaning - Can You Do Both? Mar 15, 2018

Show notes

Daycare to house cleaning side hustle how about it? "Neighbors are asking clean my space so I thought I'd build my cleaning business after my daycare nursery kids go home."

We Ask a House Cleaner tips to earn extra money housekeeping and opened a can of worms.

Turns out Angela Brown has a strong opinion about daycare children and Mom Syndrome. As a daycare provider, you need your rest, exercise, sleep, and a social life.

And as a house cleaner or maid, you need to clean and meet your customers' expectations. Both jobs need your undivided attention and attention to detail. Consider a babysitting assistant to help with your pre-school playgroup. Do childcare - don't clean.

Today's sponsors are Savvy Cleaner Training (for housekeepers and maids.) My Cleaning Connection (a hub for really cool cleaning stuff.) And House Cleaning360 where you can find in-home babysitters and nannies.
