Tell us about yourself
I love to help people in any way that I can. After being a nursing assistant for many years, I decided to start my own business and provide a clean space for people to be in. I love waking up and knowing I get help with decompressing and relaxing in a clean space each day. Cleaning is like an art to me, and I love seeing and feeling the difference.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Growing my business to a large enough scale that I can provide jobs for others and help even more people have a clean space in our community.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come with being a business owner is making sure everything is balanced and has a plan or procedure. It is to take too many tasks on at once instead of just tackling them one at a time.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Research as much as possible, and make sure you talk to everyone in your field. It is all about plans and procedures and making sure everything you do has a process. Growing your business will not just be an upward spike, so take the struggles one day at a time and learn from your mistakes.
