  • Entertaining, Informing and Motivating

    Solo House Cleaner in the UK. Been listening to Shannon and Jamie (also Kimberley) for over one year. Shannon is my constant ear companion, dishing out wise advice and funny anecdotes that keep me smiling. Also gives me a motivating push to work smarter not harder. This is one of the best cleaning business podcasts. Thank you Shannon for your dedication to the business and for sharing your stories.

  • Love the content!

    I don’t even own a cleaning business and I love listening to your podcast! As a bookkeeper for cleaning companies, I find it fascinating how running a cleaning business mirrors running a bookkeeping business.

    Systems, processes, hiring, marketing, bookkeeping, accounting, etc.… They may not be exactly the same but they all play such an important part to keep running like a ā€œwell oiled machineā€!

    Anyway, keep doing what y’all are doing! I will be sharing this podcast with my clients!

  • It works!!!!

    I have been following these two ladies for a while now they have taken me my business from 25.00 a hour🄓 to 2500 a week from being solo to being a legitimate cleaning business owner. I now have four cleaning techs and have followed their steps to get to where I am now nothing but good things and I know if I continue to follow what they tell me we will grow bigger. I can’t imagine what or where I would be without listening to these ladies thank you

Q: Let's revisit the March to the Million. So the audience is probably going to be, well, what is the March to a Million? Can you give us an overview of what that was like for you?
It was a major push from around $600k-$700k to a million, driven by setting micro-goals, assigning responsibilities with due dates, and holding people accountable; it also spurred company retreats and a culture of goal-driven momentum.
