Cleaning up cash? Make money cleaning offices now.

There are some things that are certain in life: death, taxes, and dirt. The fact that there is dirt everywhere is one of the reasons retirees are starting to make money cleaning offices as a part-time or full-time income.

The commercial cleaning area has been dominated by janitorial services, but is a whole new field of opportunity for small ‘mom-and-pop’ operations. One of the benefits is that you can build an extremely profitable business as you make money cleaning offices that will generate revenue very quickly, and you can begin either from home or a commercial location and on either a part-time or full-time basis.

It allows people with a wide variety of goals to make money cleaning offices. That means that retirees can make money cleaning offices in a way that suits their individual style and abilities. If you enjoy doing the work yourself, you can remain a small solo proprietor or a ‘mom-and-pop’ business. If you are more energetic or ambitious you can build teams to do the work for you. There are few businesses that operate offering this tremendous range of choices and opportunities.

The first question you must ask is, do you have the determination to make the business work. Can YOU make money cleaning offices? Do you have basic business skills:

 are you a self-starter,

are you able to manage your time efficiently,

are you able to build relationships with both your customers and your employees?

Another question is this, do you build the business yourself or do you buy a franchise. A franchise will work closely with you as you begin your business and help you make it run smoothly and profitably. But you may discover that once you have become established, a franchise agreement is a decided disadvantage. You may resent working hard, but then having to send a percentage of your profits to the franchisor.

To be honest, in the long run you will make more money cleaning offices by operating as an independent business rather than as part of a franchise. Also as an indie businessperson, you have the advantage of being able to do things your way. The initial problem with that approach is that you have no guidelines to follow. Often your success or failure is a result of trial or error. The key then, is to research every aspect of the business, both before you begin the business and as it grows so that you will start it right and adapt to changing conditions and growth.

Have you got what it takes?

"Who am I? Why am I here?"

"Who am I? Why am I here?" were the opening remarks by 1992 Reform Party Vice-Presidential candidate Admiral James Stocksdale. In 1999 he was interviewed as follows:

JIM LEHRER: Admiral Stockdale, welcome. You were the Reform Party candidate for vice president in 1992, and you participated in the vice presidential debate. In general terms, how would you characterize that experience for you?

ADMIRAL JAMES STOCKDALE: It was terribly frustrating because I remember I started with, "Who am I? Why am I here?" and I never got back to that because there was never an opportunity for me to explain my life to people. It was so different from Quayle and Gore. The four years in solitary confinement in Vietnam, 7½ years in prisons, drop the first bomb that started the ... American bombing raid in the North Vietnam..

JIM LEHRER: That line, "Who am I?" and "Why am I here?" of course, got great publicity. Was that something that you just said spontaneously, or had you thought about it before the thing began?

ADMIRAL JAMES STOCKDALE: I had thought about it a little bit, and I thought it would come to me in a way that I could explain the idea of building a prison civilization. You remember, I really remembered Mark Van Doran's quote. He said, "An intelligent person is one who should a catastrophe strike, say doomsday... he could refound his own civilization."

He went on to explain how the inner qualities of the prisoners coupled with a belief that a ‘cause’ (my word) was worth being tortured for is what helped these men to survive.

Stocksdale’s words are important ones. If you’re going to plan a future, then you need to know your starting point. All of us go through difficult times. Right now you may be unemployed, short on cash, retired and don't know what to do, etc.  I know what hard times are like. That's why I started my own business. I want you to be able to do the same.

As a business owner, you decide how big you want the business to grow.

1.)   For example, if a smaller operation is preferred, you may decide to clean the offices yourself or hire one or two employees.

2.)   On the other hand, some owners have goals of building the office cleaning business into an extremely profitable, well-known company.

It is estimated that ‘turnover’ (the number of cleaning accounts lost each year to competitors) is as much as 40%. As a result many companies and small offices are always in search of office cleaning professionals.
