​This week was one of those that really reminded me what being a Cleanerpreneur is all about—learning, growing, and leading with both heart and humility.

​In the house cleaning business, we build real relationships with our clients. We see them regularly, get to know their routines, and become a trusted part of their homes. That’s why it’s never easy when a situation arises where we have to part ways with a client—especially one we’ve had a good relationship with.
​
But sometimes, as tough as it is, it’s necessary.

​Public speaking is a powerful tool that can propel your small business to new heights. By mastering the art of communication, you can effectively convey your business's values and vision to a diverse audience. This Cleanerpreneur guide explores essential techniques to enhance your presentations, from connecting deeply with your audience to utilizing visual aids effectively. By refining these skills, you can transform your public speaking engagements into opportunities for growth and connection.

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.

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".

Do you have a late-notice cancellation penalty fee that you impose on your customers?  What about when a customer skips an appointment; do you charge them the next frequency rate?  

In today's  blog post I will give you "My Thoughts on Penalizing Customers Who Skip An Appointment."

Wow!  So, January 2019 came and went already!  Can you believe it?  We are now about half way through the first trimester of the year.  And, what a start to the year it was!  How are your goals coming along?  Are you on track with your goals and resolutions?  

One of my goals for January 2019 was to start off strong with The House Cleaning Podcast.  I truly wanted to begin the year on a high note when it came to how many people I was helping with my podcast.  And, although I didn't put an exact number on what I was expecting or shooting for, let me tell you, I was blown away by how well January was for the show!  In total there were 671 unique downloads of the podcast in the month of January 2019!  I mean this completely smashed my first launch of the show back in April of 2018!

I'm very grateful for everyone who downloads and listens to the show!  I truly hope that in one way or another I'm helping you or inspiring you to dream big with your small business!  

In this blog post I will talk a bit about "The Top 3 'The House Cleaning Podcast' Episodes of 2019!

I was recently having a conversation with one of my followers on Instagram and he asked how I was able to read two books each month.  Many of you know from my posts that in 2018 I made it a goal of mine to read at least two books per month.  And, I've actually stepped it up a notch this year - my goal in 2019 is to read at least 3 books per month.  I'm on track.  I finished January 2019 having read 5 books.  

In this blog post I will explain to you "How I Read At Least 3 Books Every Month".

Podcast subscription rose significantly in 2018.  According to statistics, 60% of the US population is familiar with the word "podcasting"; and, it's only expected to rise in the next few years.  Another interesting statistic is that 52% of people listen to podcasts while driving; 46% while traveling; and, 40% while walking, running, or riding a bike.

I can tell you right now that I include myself in those statistics!  I listen to podcasts throughout the day - while driving, traveling, and when working out.  

In this blog post I will let you know about "The Top 5 Podcasts I Listened To In 2018".
