How to Go from Stuck to a Million-Dollar Cleaning Business
In this high-energy podcast, Mike Campion and Jenell Newell share a simple but powerful plan to grow your cleaning business. If you’re feeling stuck at six figures and want to hit a million, this episode gives you the exact roadmap. It’s all about three big upgrades: your beliefs, your systems, and your community.
Upgrade Your Beliefs First
Mike starts by saying that beliefs are the foundation. You can’t build a million-dollar business with ten-dollar thinking. Most cleaning company owners stay small because they believe they have to do everything themselves. “No one can clean like me,” they think. But that belief keeps them working in the business, not on it. Jenell adds that beliefs like “I’m bad at numbers” or “I have to do the books” are silent business killers. To grow, owners need to trust others and start thinking like CEOs, not cleaners.
Then Upgrade Your Systems
Once your brain is upgraded, it’s time to fix your business systems. Mike breaks it down into three buckets: getting customers, doing the work, and counting the money. That’s it. Whether your business makes $10K a month or $100K, those are the only three areas that need systems. But here’s the catch—if your beliefs are broken, you won’t follow through on the systems, no matter how good they are.
Finally, Upgrade Your People
The third step is the most fun: community. Mike and Jenell say you become like the people you hang around. If your friends are broke, scared to take risks, and think owning a business is crazy—guess what? You’ll stay stuck. But if you join a community of driven, smart cleaning business owners, you’ll level up fast. Good people lift you up, bad ones hold you back.
What to Do Next
The podcast ends with a challenge: pick one area and take action today. Maybe that means changing a belief, building a system, or joining a new community. Whatever it is, do something. As Mike says, “All the knowledge in the world without action is just hope.” So stop hoping—and start upgrading.
