Start a cleaning business during the Holidays?
Who has time to start a cleaning business during the holidays?
If you need work, you can always find time! The employment seas are pretty rough out there right now for many people. I was in the same boat in 1996. I could not land anything better than a $9 hr job, but there was no way I could get beyond scraping by on pay that low. Somehow, I lived in that bind for over twelve years. The stress of overwork and underpay built like a tsunami of stress. One day that tsunami hit, and I made the decision to go to work for myself, no matter what. I gave it all up and started fresh. The odd thing is, I really enjoyed it. Yes, I was broke for a short period, but then suddenly I had freed up a lot a time to make a break from the J.O.B (just over broke). I was doing something epic: Living and breathing my own new business. It was exhilarating. And can you believe it, it was fun.
In retrospect, I see that I had spent twelve years worrying about how hard it would be to make it in my own business. But the reality was that I was only in a risky situation starting my new cleaning business for about two months. I had spent twelve years fretting about something that lasted two months!
Man, I wish I would have started in 1984 and saved all that wasted time!
Do not wait for the perfect situation. You'll wait forever. If you feel in your bones that you can do it and only fear is standing in your way, then go for it. Use the holidays to your advantage. There are a lot of cleaning situations you can break into during the holidays and in the beginning of the New Year. Momentum can pick up quickly at this time of the year. I usually picked up two or three new clients during every holiday season. While the other cleaners were giving into lethargy and distraction, I was out making a push to steal some of their clients, simply by being willing to do what they were not. The difference between us was that I had discovered the hard way how precious it is to have my own cleaning business.
Make the holidays special this year, and get started with your cleaning business.

De-Cluttering And Organizing Services
De-cluttering Home Office
Some pro cleaners offer organizational services as well. Home offices and study rooms are usually the part of the house that accumulates clutter. I’ve got some tips on how to de-clutter and clean up this room like a pro!
The Home office is usually the most cluttered only second to the kids rooms. But they should clean up their own rooms, right? A home office should have all the necessary office supplies and tools used for work and---nothing else! This includes computers, telephone or all gadgets of communication, books, files, and reference materials. Get rid of any unimportant print-out material that the house owner won’t use everyday. But, take note! To avoid throwing out important papers by accident, have the house owner segregate important files which is needed and used everyday from unimportant things which is not used everyday for work.
You can use boxes and label them “important and unimportant” for the segregation process. In this way it will be easy for you to organize the office supplies to place inside the room and what things not to place there in such a way that you will prevent the trouble of throwing up the house owners stuff by mistake!
You can also advise the owner to encode and download all their paper files through pdf and have them burned into dvd format or simply save it to an external hard drive. This will save him or her from accumulating a lot of messy paper and this will save space, too! If they resist using these hi tech solutions then organize their files and documents in clearly labeled folders and boxes.
Now, proceed on dusting the desks, computers, printers and other gadgets first before wiping it with a clean cloth with a table cleaner. Neatly place the computers on top of the desk and always have the CPU under the desk to free up the space for additional space while working. Always have a shelf beside the printer for the paper sheets. You can now vacuum the carpet and the floor!
De-cluttering and organization can be great services in addition to house cleaning that you can offer your higher-end clients. you’ll maximize your profit per client while decreasing the complexity of having more clients which will make your business and your work day more efficient.
Happy Cleaning! :)
