Welcome to The House Cleaning Podcast and to episode #64!

Guess what?  No Perspective Wednesday!  That’s because we have another guest on the show! 

Joining us today all the way from Orange County - South OC, to be more precise is:

Mary Velez, owner of The Cleaning Lady & Company

Mary has been in business for almost 4 years.

And, she joins us today to tell us a little bit more about her story.

​Enjoy!

Do you ever get overwhelmed with an abundance of incoming inquiries from potential customers?  I mean, don’t get me wrong, that’s a wonderful stressor to have - it’s a wonderful problem to have -  but come on, don’t you sometimes wish you could systematize your process so that you could easily handle your incoming emails from prospective clients looking to hire you to clean their home?

Well, that’s exactly what I’ll be sharing with you in today’s Strategy Monday!  So, if you want to find out the way I handle some of our inquiries, then I highly recommend you stick around.

So, in an effort to be completely transparent with how the Cleanerpreneur project and The House Cleaning Podcast are progressing, I've decided to give you monthly updates regarding the top 3 most-listened-to episodes of each month.

This time, I'll be sharing with you "The Top 3 'The House Cleaning Podcast' Episodes of February 2019.  Why?  Well, many times, it's been my experience, that a certain episode catches a lot of attention from my audience - perhaps, it deals with a particular strategy, perspective, or motivational message.  But, regardless of the reason, I decided it would also be good to share these monthly top episodes in case you missed them and would like to see what most of my followers listened to the most.

Guess what, it’s my birthday today.  And, I want to celebrate it with you by sharing this quote by William Barclay.
​
He said: “There are two great days in a person’s life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.” 

Hey you guys, thank you so much for tuning in today. Today marks a very special point in my project as you’re about to hear the very first interview of the show.

Today, you’ll hear Victor Mijangos story and what he’s been through with his company, The Mighty Maids - based in San Diego, California. 

Welcome to another edition of Strategy Monday!  I was recently reading a blog post where the author described what he would do if he lost everything - money, business, name, reputation - everything.  And, I started thinking what would I do the day after I lost everything related to my family’s cleaning business - and was only left with the knowledge and experience I’ve gained throughout the years?
​
Well, that’s what I’ll be talking about today in an effort that my strategy might help you out in case you’re starting from scratch.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my blog post this weekend.  In today's post I will be giving you my opinion and the 3 reasons I believe you're still working in your house cleaning business.

Now, please note that this blog post is intended for those business owners who would like a bit more of a hands-off business.  If you're a house cleaning business owner who enjoys and desires to be out in the field working, either by yourself or with your staff, then hats off to you.  (Although, I think you should also give this post a read just in case you change your mind in the future).

Having said that here are the "3 Reasons You're Still Working In Your House Cleaning Business".

Vince Lombardi said: “The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.”

​Welcome to another edition of “Clean Your Mind Friday” and happy first of the month if you’re listening to today’s episode in real time. In today’s episode I will be talking about the importance of being grateful with what we have as we pursue that which we want. And, at the same time I’ll be breaking down this quote by the great Vince Lombardi and I’ll try to make it applicable to your cleaning business.

The definition of “branding”, according to BusinessDictionary.com is “the process involved in creating a unique name and image for a product or service in the consumers' mind, mainly through advertising campaigns with a consistent theme. Branding aims to establish a significant and differentiated presence in the market that attracts and retains loyal customers.”
​
Having said that, do you think you need branding?  If you’d like to know what I think, then I recommend you hang out as I’ll be sharing my thoughts with you on today’s Perspective Wednesday!

How active are you on social media?  Which social media platforms do you use the most for your cleaning business?  Do you have a social media strategy or at least an outline that you follow so you have a structure?  If you’re for ways to strengthen your cleaning business’ social media presence or at least listen to my thoughts on what you should be doing on social media, then I highly recommend you stay tuned for today’s episode as I’ll be sharing with you what I do to try to stay active on social media.
