Episode 1279 –8 Mindset Shifts to Build a Million-Dollar Cleaning Business
Ready to grow a million-dollar cleaning business? In this episode, Mike Campion and Suzanne Bandick break down the real secret: your mindset. They cover eight powerful mindset shifts that help cleaning business owners overcome fear, focus on what matters, and start thinking like true CEOs. You’ll learn how to build your identity, clear mental blocks, and stop letting fear drive the bus. If you’ve ever said, “I’m not good at tech,” or “I can’t raise my prices,” this episode will challenge that thinking—big time. Don’t just know what to do—start believing you can do it.
The Million-Dollar Mindset (Yes, Really)
Mike Campion and Suzanne Bandick got together on the podcast to chat about what it really takes to build a million-dollar cleaning business. Spoiler alert: It’s not magic, and it’s not a get-rich-quick plan. It starts with how you think. Most people focus only on tactics—what to do and how—but Mike and Suzanne say your mindset is just as important. If your brain says “I can’t,” your business says “I won’t.” So step one? Believe it’s possible.
Build Your Boss Identity
Want a big business? Start by seeing yourself as a big business owner. That means focusing on what you’re good at instead of crying over what you’re not. You don’t need to be a tech genius or a math wizard—just good enough to get by. And if you really struggle with something, you can hire someone else to help. The goal? Create a strong identity that says, “Yes, I am the kind of person who runs a million-dollar company.”
Get Out of Your Own Way
Blocks. We all have them. Those “Yeah, but I’m not good at…” thoughts? Those are your brakes, and they’re stopping your business from moving forward. Mike and Suzanne challenge listeners to ask, “Is that really true?” Most times, it’s not. Even better? Start telling yourself, “I can get better at this,” instead of “I stink at this.” That simple shift can help release the brakes and get your business rolling.
Think Bigger, Act Bolder
To grow, you’ve got to think beyond where you are now. Stuck at $30,000 a year? Picture what life looks like at $100,000—or a million! That future version of you will see today’s problems as tiny speed bumps. Also, always look for the upside. Something bad happened? Ask, “What could be good about this?” That small change in thinking helps you stay motivated and keep going when things get tough.
Do the Work That Matters
Last but not least—focus on what really moves the needle. That means doing the hard stuff others won’t, like raising prices or firing bad employees. Suzanne and Mike say to work smart, not just hard. Use systems, stick to your real core values (not the fluffy stuff you wish were true), and most importantly—prioritize. You don’t have to do everything. Just start with the one thing that’ll make the biggest difference right now.
