Why I love being the owner of a cleaning company more than I loved being a cleaner ✨
I’m Josie and most of you will know that I started my business in 2019, as a solo cleaner, with a second hand hetty hoover and a £30 Wilko order. I absolutely LOVED being a cleaner, I never once felt like I was slogging a day at work. But here’s why I love my “new job” as the Director of my cleaning company
🧡 A few years ago my business had grown to a size which meant it wasn’t just a couple of work mates to make bookings for anymore, I was cleaning full time, and then getting home and completing a night time shift of office work - scheduling, reviews, feedback, staff training, website and enquiries, billing and more
At first it was a couple of hours per night, but as the business grew, it became 6-7 hours every single evening and every weekend too. I was realistically clearing 70-80 hours per week 🥵
At the same time, we needed premises and so I had to make a decision to step away from so many cleaning jobs, if I wanted to continue with the business growth and broaden our service offerings
It was nerve wrecking, I felt like I was grieving my little fun job that I loved. I genuinely just used to feel like I was out and about cleaning houses with my best mates and suddenly I wouldn’t be doing that anymore, I had to be more responsible, accountable and structured
I didn’t actually know if I wanted to change my job, I was quite happy as I was, with a content job and a good income
But here’s what kept pushing me towards it
I started to feel passionate about the wider industry, I felt inquisitive about specialist cleaning and business growth so I ran with
And now I’m here to tell you why I absolutely LOVE my job as the Director of an established growing cleaning company
❤️ I love growing a team of local people and providing people with a stable income
❤️ I love being responsible for offering services to people who are truly in need, families during loss and trauma, vulnerable adults with no one but a social worker to help them, mothers that have been overwhelmed and struggling in their own homes for years. Offering a service that takes away a problem, small or substantial, is a true blessing
❤️ I love defying the odds and being someone that wasn’t statistically here to “do well” but went and did it anyway
❤️ I love leading in an industry that I know so much about, and care about too
❤️ I love celebrating little wins, learning from set backs and thanking my lucky stars for the big wins
All of the above mean so much more to me than my little fun cleaning job (although that was definitely less serious and 1000 times easier 🙊)
