Just a few more thoughts before this day comes to an end. Hold on…this is a long, honest, heartfelt post from me, the owner.
Six years ago I thought being a good business owner meant keeping everyone happy. (And I’m already tearing up 😭)
Clients. Employees. Vendors. Everyone.
Six years later, I’ve learned that’s impossible.
Sometimes we lose a client. Sometimes an employee doesn’t understand a decision I’ve made. Sometimes doing what’s right for for my business disappoints someone. And sometimes I go home, lay my head on my pillow and wonder if I’ve handled it okay.
I’m still learning this one. And I never want to lose the drive to learn something new every single day. Especially in running my own business.
I’ve learned that you can have the biggest heart in the world and still not make everyone happy. That you can genuinely love your people and still have to make hard decisions. That being a leader sometimes means standing alone in decisions nobody else fully understands.
And goodness, I can’t tell you how many mistakes I’ve made along this journey. Whew!
I’ve said things I wish I would’ve said differently (still learning). I’ve taken things personally that I probably shouldn’t have (still learning). I’ve cried, prayed, questioned myself, and wondered more than once if I was really cut out for all of this.
BUT…God keeps showing up!
And something so IMPORTANT I have learned over these last 6 years that keeps me going is
THIS. RIGHT HERE. ⬇️
Cleaning isn’t a luxury for everyone.
Sometimes we are helping a busy family get a few hours of their weekend back.
Sometimes we help an older adult who lives alone and needs to feel comfortable in their own home.
Sometimes we are cleaning an office so employees can return to work on Monday to a fresh, clean office with the trash taken out.
Sometimes we are walking into a home where life has simply gotten ahead of someone. The floors haven’t been touched, the dust has visibly settled, the pet hair has clumped in the corners, and the person on the other side of that door just needs a little help catching up.
No judgement. We say that from the beginning. We’re just a helping hand.
I have a wonderful team and I will do my best to ensure they never forget what a privilege it is to step into your spaces.
Because professional cleaning isn’t just about making things pretty.
It’s about people. It’s about giving back your precious time, giving you some peace and sometimes a little dignity.
We are an industry that people NEED. An industry with people who love to clean (actually) and they are hard workers. I’m proud to be part of it. And I want to be part of changing the way people see us.
In a few short weeks I’m going to have to take the stage to accept an award that has humbled me something fierce (still working on my emotions before that night comes). Being named Logan County Entrepreneur of the Year still brings tears to my eyes. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, Thank you!!
As year seven begins, I can promise you this. I don’t have it all figured out! But I’ll keep showing up. I’ll keep learning. I’ll keep loving my people. I’ll keep being the emotional girl (always have been, always will be). And I’ll keep trusting God with the things I can’t control 🙏🏻
Good night, friends. Thank you!
❤️ Beyond the clean. Honestly. 💚💙
