@MikeCostiganai Just listened to your podcast ep with @MatznerJon. I'll be in Sarasota in 2 weeks. Would you be around for a coffee/drink?

Connected with @nickhancock8 today on a call. Always a great reminder of what a great community CleanTwit is! Yes, he encouraged me to post this. Yes, I need to be more active on Twitter. Great sharing lessons learned and talking some bs, man. Let's do it again soon!

VA was running ops pretty well while I was in Mexico for 12 days. Came back and started seeing some of the mistakes from a lack of oversight. Silver lining is he’s made his own mistakes and therefore is actually learning now. Onwards towards $100k revenue eclipsed in 5th month

Ended in $12.5k in month 2 (weeks 3-7) of operations. Is $20k or $25k a better goal for month 3? 🥵

Nobody tells you how many damn forms of insurance property managers ask for before you clean their "luxury" studios. But excited to be getting some PMs on our roster regardless. Does Cushman & Wakefield manage a lot of properties? wOuLd BeInG oNe Of ThEiR vEnDoRs Be GoOd?

Been tweeting the good stuff, forgetting to tweet the bad stuff as I get caught up fixing the bad. Have had some trouble with clients misrepresenting jobs and needing to adjust the quote after. Working on systems to fix this, but it’s caused some zero profit cleans. On we go.

Saturday morning: set two alarms at 8 & 9 am to wake me up from a big, late sushi dinner slumber. Confirm cleaner is at $540 move out clean at 8 ✅ Call client that was asleep to let in our cleaners for her $470 deep clean ✅

Went door to door knocking today to our move-out clean client’s neighbors. 20 doors hit, 20 door hangers dropped off, 7 no soliciting, 2 answers, 1 maybe, two builders talked to. Brutal. Might need to go on weekends

PT (recovering IT band from marathon training) told me if I bring my discipline and focus to work like I do to my training, there’s no way I’m not successful. Helps quiet the doubt chamber in the amygdala 🚀

$700 move-in clean after the construction crew has already cleaned it booked Friday night. Finalizing today. On we go before BC takes the 'ship tonight

$650 move-out clean booked for a nearby suburb. Thinking we need to expand services area-wise. Hire local cleaners, route jobs there to them. Oh, and I'm adding a $300 power wash to the property that I'll do myself with a borrowed power washer. Hands: dirty. Pockets: full

Power Washing job is bigger than expected. Quote went out at $460-860 depending on the final scope. Going to need to upscale to a 3000+ PSI power washer from Home Depot for a $100 rental. Guess this is the sweaty part of the startup?

Gonna start tweeting more. Reading @pjmcgeary's old ones has been inspiring. Let's see if it leads to the same results 🤞
