Cleaning Business Startup Plan

I wish I had learned this lesson before I needed it.

For years, I was married, raising my kids and living my life. Starting a business wasn’t something I thought I needed to do.

Until suddenly, I did.

At 42, I was divorced with three kids and needed to figure out how to create an income.

So I started cleaning houses.

There was nothing glamorous about it. I didn’t have a degree, a big investment or some perfect business strategy.

I had a mop. I was willing to work. And I figured things out one step at a time.

Eventually, cleaning houses became a cleaning business.

Looking back, there’s something I wish I could tell the younger version of me:

You don’t have to wait until life forces you to create something of your own.

Maybe you’re happily married.

Maybe you’re raising your babies at home.

Maybe your family is doing just fine financially, but you’d love to contribute more.

Or maybe life has changed and you suddenly need an income like I did.

There is room for all of those women here. 🤍

Because knowing you can create income of your own isn’t only valuable when life falls apart.

It’s valuable when life is going beautifully, too.

And if you’ve thought about starting a cleaning business but have absolutely no idea where to begin, that’s exactly why I created THE PLAN.

Comment PLAN and I’ll send you the information. 🤍

You can be happily married and still want income of your own. 🤍

It doesn’t mean you’re unhappy.

It doesn’t mean you’re planning to leave.

And it certainly doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate what your husband provides.

Sometimes you simply want to contribute.

You want something that’s yours.

You want to know that if you need or want to make money, you can.

I learned that lesson from the opposite direction.

At 42, I was divorced, raising three kids and suddenly needed to figure out how to create an income.

So I started cleaning houses.

I didn’t have a degree. I didn’t have a big pile of money to invest. And I definitely didn’t have some perfectly mapped out business plan.

I had a mop, a willingness to work and a decision that I was going to figure it out.

What started because I needed income eventually became a real cleaning business.

And looking back, I wish I had understood much earlier how powerful it is for a woman to know she can create income of her own.

Not because she’s preparing for something to go wrong.

Because having something of your own can be a really good thing when everything is going right, too.

That’s a big part of why this page is changing.

I’m still going to talk about divorce. Starting over is part of my story, and I know there are women here who are living it right now.

But you don’t have to share my story to have a place here.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to have something of my own, but I wouldn’t even know where to start,” I can help you with that.

Comment PLAN and I’ll send you the exact plan I created to help you start your own cleaning business. 🤍

I’m on vacation right now, and this morning I found myself feeding a mama chicken and her babies. 😂🤍
Such a little thing. But I had the time to do it.
I didn’t start a cleaning business because I dreamed about vacations or having more free time.
I started because I was 42, divorced, raising three kids and needed to create an income.
In the beginning, I was the one doing the cleaning. I was building from nothing and figuring things out as I went.
But somewhere along the way, I stopped just cleaning houses and started building a business.
A team. Clients. Systems. Something that didn’t require me to personally be at every cleaning for the business to keep going.
And eventually, that gave me something I wasn’t even thinking about when I started:
Choices.
The ability to step away now and again. To travel. To spend time with the people I love. Or apparently… to spend my morning feeding chickens on vacation. 😂
That’s why I’m here to show women how to start a cleaning business, not how to clean.
And you don’t have to be where I was when I started.
You don’t have to be divorced.
You don’t have to be in crisis.
You don’t have to wait until you desperately need an income.
Maybe you simply want to create income of your own. To contribute more. To build something that belongs to you. And maybe, someday, have a few more choices because of it.
If you’ve ever thought about starting a cleaning business but have no idea where to begin, comment PLAN and I’ll send you where to start. 🤍

When I found myself divorced at 42 with three kids, no degree and needing an income, starting a cleaning business changed my life.

For a long time, I thought that meant my story was meant specifically for women in that same place.

But I’ve realized something.

You shouldn’t have to go through a divorce or a crisis before realizing how valuable it can be to have an income of your own.

Maybe you’re happily married and want to contribute more to your family.

Maybe you’ve stayed home raising your babies and you’re ready for something that’s yours too.

Maybe money is tight and your household could simply use another income.

Maybe you ARE newly divorced, single or starting over and you’re scared because you don’t know where to begin.

I’ve been that woman.

I started with a mop and built a cleaning business. And that’s what I’m here to teach you. Not how to clean. How to start a cleaning business that can create real income for you and your family.

So yes, things are changing a little around here.

But the heart behind this page isn’t changing at all.

I’m just making a little more room at the table. 🤍

Sweet friend if you have ever hidden a receipt so you would not have to explain a purchase I know exactly where you are.

The little things you tucked away. The bag you brought in from the car when no one was looking. The total you already had an answer ready for in case he asked. Buying something for yourself and feeling guilty before you even got home.

That is not about money. That is about having no power over your own life. And it is one of the loneliest feelings there is.

I lived it for years. I had no income of my own so every dollar I touched came with a silent question attached. I made myself smaller and smaller just to avoid the conversation.

Here is what changed everything. I built an income that was mine. And the first time I bought something without rehearsing an explanation, without hiding a bag, without that knot in my stomach, I finally understood what freedom actually felt like.

You do not need permission sweet friend. You need money of your own. And I wrote down every single step so you never have to figure it out alone.

Starting a cleaning business is how I survived divorce with three kids and nothing in my name. I made you a 30 day plan.

Sweet friend if you wake up with dread before your feet even hit the floor I know exactly where you are.

Because I lived there too.

I would open my eyes and the fear was already waiting. How was I going to do this. How was I going to provide. What happens if it all falls apart today. No income. No degree. Three kids counting on me for everything and not a single dollar in my name.

I carried that dread every single morning. It was the first thing I felt and the last thing I thought about at night.

I need you to hear something. That feeling is not forever.

My mornings look completely different now. I wake up in my own time. I check my phone and my business is running. I never have to ask anyone for anything. The knot in my stomach is gone and in its place is something I never thought I would feel again. Peace.

It did not happen overnight and it did not happen because I was special. It happened because I grabbed a vacuum and started. One house. One client. One step at a time.

If you are waking up with that same dread sweet friend there is another kind of morning waiting for you. And it is so much closer than it feels right now.

Sweet friend when did you last do something that was just for you.

Not for your kids. Not for your husband. Not for the house or the schedule or the thousand things you hold together every single day without anyone noticing.

For years I poured everything I had into everyone else. I was the mom, the cook, the planner, the glue. And somewhere in all of it I completely disappeared. I did not even recognize the woman in the mirror anymore.

Then my marriage ended and I was terrified. No income. No degree. No work history. Three kids counting on me for everything and not a single dollar in my name.

So I grabbed a vacuum. Not because it was glamorous but because it was real and I could start that day with nothing.

And something I did not expect happened. As I built that business I started to come back to life. I remembered who I was. I felt capable again. I felt like me again. The income mattered but becoming myself again mattered just as much.

Sweet friend you are still in there. And building something of your own is how you find your way back.
