  • Million-Dollar Milestone: How I Plan to Make $1M in Year 2 of My Cleaning Business
    Sep 28 2023

    Hitting $1M in revenue per year is a big milestone for a business. It marks the transition from a business that has no idea, into one that has begun to flesh out processes, procedures, and figured out how to acquire customers. In my opinion, if you can do $1M in a year - you're doing at least one part of your business right. For this reason, my plan has been to bring my cleaning company to this magical mark, within 2 years of opening our doors. In this show, I detail my plan on accomplishing it, and illustrate how it's not that outrageous. I hope you find it inspiring enough to build something on your own! Originally aired 9/28/2023.
