Make Your Commercial Office Cleaning Business a Success!

Your intentions are a powerful tool as you start your commercial office cleaning business.

Imagine you're an professional athlete, trained and ready to compete. See yourself crouched in position at the starting line with all the other competitors. All your senses are alert, listening for the crack of the starting gun.

In the final pre-event moment, what is going through your mind?

Are you saying to yourself, "I think, with a little luck, and if the wind is right, and if I don’t fall, maybe, just maybe, I can finish this race."

No way.

Most likely you're saying, "I'm about to blow them all away! The VICTORY is mine!"

Be as confident about your office cleaning business goals. Don't be vague or hesitant. Be clear in your intentions to grow your commercial cleaning business. Then adjust your behavior. Put one foot in front of the other, and make your wishes come true.

1. Be specific. Have you made a solid resolution to make more money with your office cleaning business? How can you clarify this goal even further? Instead of saying "some money"; nail down a specific figure. How much extra money would you like to earn each month? Instead of telling yourself you're going to bring aboard "more customers," name a number of new accounts you want.

2. Be realistic. If you think you're going to win that marathon without the proper training, you're just a wishful thinker. Success = preparation + opportunity. Get out the map and select the specific business districts you want to target. Name the companies you'd like for your own customers, and be real about what you're prepared to do about it. Are you going to make up ‘flyers’ and distribute them, go ‘cold-calling’, print business cards? How will they know you have an office cleaning business IF YOU DON”T TELL THEM?

3. Say when. Do you want to grow your cleaning business quickly, such as in the next two weeks or within this month? Or would you prefer a slowly growing number of accounts, say acquiring one new account each month over the next twelve months? Setting a specific time-line is an important part of the process. It's a deadline for your unconscious to pay attention to. And it will. I know many people who have turned a small commercial office cleaning service in to a 6 figure income stream; but it never happened by accident!

4. Be accountable. Ask another person to be your goals buddy as you determine a ‘plan’ to advertise and market your office cleaning service. Ask them to hold you accountable for your promises to yourself. Make an accountability appointment to look at the progress you've made. Do this regularly, every two or three months, or whatever works. How frequently you measure your progress doesn't matter as much as your honest assessment of youself, and honoring your accountability appointment.

Retire with Money!

As people get older, they begin to think about retiring. In the United States, many individuals decide to retire between the ages of 62 and 65.  Since 10,000 baby boomers per day are now in this age range, retirement has been a hot topic in the personal finance world.  Many people only think of dollars when they are thinking about retirement, but there is more to it than only finances. Here are some considerations when planning your retirement. 

1. You want to consider if you are mentally ready to stop working. Many people retire for only six months or so because they miss working. They are not yet ready to say goodbye to their work environment and co-workers.  They haven’t thought ahead on how they are going to fill their time in retirement and get bored. That is why starting a part-time commercial office cleaning business is an excellent choice. 

2. Besides being mentally ready to retire you want to think of the financial consequences of retiring. This includes losing your health insurance, no longer receiving a paycheck, and any other perks you may lose like life insurance, company car, etc.  You want to make sure that you have enough money in your retirement and savings accounts to accommodate the loss of income.  You also want to make sure this money will last for the rest of your life.  A part, or full-time commercial office cleaning business can create the additional income you need. 

3. What is your lifestyle going to be like in retirement?  You want to make sure that your lifestyle is in a place where you can retire. For example, do you need to downsize your home, can you still afford the car payment you have, what are your plans to do in retirement?  Starting an office cleaning business can provide a good income while allowing plenty of free time. 

4. The fourth tip is to always make sure to have money put away for any medical expenses that may be incurred. Many seniors think that their Medicare benefits will take care of every medical expense that they have after they retire. This is not true. It is important to evaluate your current health and plan for any things down the road.  It is a good idea to have a physical and a discussion with your insurance agent about any foreseeable needs so you can start planning.  Some people find health care costs to be one of their largest expenses in retirement. Fortunately, the income from just one or two commercial office cleaning contracts can easily pay for a good quality insurance plan. 

5. Finally discuss your retirement plans with your family members and friends. Building a commercial office building company can keep you physically and emotionally active. Remember retirement is a change that can last 30 or more years.  This can be just as long or maybe longer then you were working.  Think of all the planning that went into your career.
