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.

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.

UCLA coach John Wooden said: “Perfection is what you are striving for, but perfection is an impossibility. However, striving for perfection is not an impossibility. Do the best you can under the conditions that exist. That is what counts.”

​How are you keeping up with your 2019 goals?  If you’re determination is starting to decrease and you’re starting to lose sight of the goals and resolutions you created in the beginning of the year, then you’ll definitely want to stick around as I’ll be sharing with you a strategy you can start using right away to make sure you stay on track in your journey to reaching your goals!

​In this episode I’m going to give you my perspective as to why I believe it’s essential that you view the development of your business as creating a product or developing or building your business as if you were going to sell it...even if you’re not!

Now, let me ask you a question in order to try to get you to see my perspective.  If you decide - for whatever reason - to sell your business next month, do you think someone would want to buy it?  If you placed a “For Sale” sign on your business, how many people would inquire about it? 

Colin Powell said: “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” 

Join me as we break down this quote and apply it's lesson to our cleaning businesses!
