One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a cleaning business owner is to let your business run your life. When you allow this to happen you end up with regrets later on because of missed opportunities to spend time with family, take vacations and enjoy a life outside your business.
In this episode Jean shares how she and Steve allowed it to happen right from the start of their business and how they were eventually able turn it around. Plus she offers tips on how you can do the same!
This episode is made possible by The Janitorial Store’s, Janitorial Supervisor Training Program. If you run a residential cleaning service you may be interested in the Team Leader Training Program.

WOW! great video, we try to get away every 3 months for a mini weekend vacation and it does help.
Hi Gladys,
Glad to hear you make a point to do the mini vacations. We like to do that too. Plus, it’s a great test for employees.
For those of you afraid to take a whole week, start by taking a 3 day weekend. Prepare your employees and see how they do. Slowly add a day to your vacation each time. It will help them gain confidence in running things in your absence and it will help give you more peace of mind when you want to take a longer vacation.
This is very true. Happy anniversary to you both. I am going on vacation next week. It is so much needed.
Congratulations Jean and Steven
