Episode 1189 – Surround Yourself with the Right People (and Golf Carts): Inside Our San Antonio Event
Surround Yourself with the Right People
After a high-energy event in San Antonio, Lindsay and Jackson from the Grow My Cleaning Company team sat down to chat about one big takeaway: the people you surround yourself with can make or break your success. This isn’t just about hanging with any business owners; it’s about connecting with people who get your struggles and are in the same field. When cleaning business owners gather, they’re not competing; they’re growing together, sharing insights, and offering support. If you’re a cleaning company owner, having this network is crucial to your success!
Let Go of the Scarcity Mindset
One thing that holds many back is the scarcity mindset, where competition feels threatening. But the truth? There’s room for everyone. For instance, two cleaning business owners in the same city often help each other out instead of fighting for clients. The reality is, most towns have more than enough work for everyone. Embracing this mindset can lead to more referrals, better client relationships, and a supportive community that has your back. It’s time to shift from thinking “they’re taking my clients” to “we can all win together.”
Learning Beyond Cleaning
Funny enough, Lindsay and Jackson pointed out that in their coaching, they don’t teach people how to clean! Their focus is on helping owners think like entrepreneurs—building teams, setting up marketing, and managing finances. Most cleaning business owners already know how to clean; they need help with the business side. Joining a community of like-minded owners and coaches who know the game can open doors you didn’t know existed, taking your focus off daily tasks and onto the big picture.
Networking Is a Game-Changer
For those who don’t think networking matters, Lindsay and Jackson challenge that belief. Meeting others in person, especially in a similar industry, is a game-changer. Whether at local business groups or specific events for cleaning businesses, being around people with similar goals boosts your motivation and knowledge. Networking in-person gives a whole new perspective and can lead to collaborations and mentorships that are impossible over Zoom.
Stay Connected with Your People
Growing a successful business doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You need people who’ve been there, done that, and who genuinely want you to win. Jackson and Lindsay encourage everyone in the cleaning biz to get out there and make those connections, whether it’s through Grow My Cleaning Company, local resources, or business groups. And if you’re not sure where to start, reach out! The team at Grow My Cleaning Company is always open to lending a hand.
