Episode 1205 – Tricks to Create the Business (and Life) You Want
Building a Winning Mindset for Your Cleaning Business
In this episode, Mike Campion sits down with Suzanne Bandick to discuss a topic that’s just as important as knowing how to run your business: how to get yourself to do what you know you should do. It’s one thing to know the steps to grow your cleaning business, but if you can’t follow through on those steps, progress stalls. Suzanne shares practical advice on developing a positive mindset, which will help business owners not only perform better but feel better about their progress.
Your Mindset Is the Key to Success
Mike makes a bold point: if you had to choose between someone with a million-dollar business and someone with a million-dollar mindset, he’d pick the mindset every time. A business can always be rebuilt, but without the right mindset, you’ll struggle to grow. Suzanne emphasizes that appreciating your own skills is crucial for creating a “can-do” attitude. If you don’t believe in yourself, it’s easy to get stuck. That’s why shifting your thoughts to what you’re good at, even if it’s baking or being a great mom, can positively influence how you run your business.
Own Your Strengths and Celebrate Them
Suzanne offers a powerful tip: list the things you’re good at. It’s easy to focus on what you’re bad at, but remembering your strengths can help you build confidence. Even if you’re not perfect, recognizing what you excel at boosts self-esteem and encourages you to push forward. Mike and Suzanne both agree—acknowledge what you do well, whether it’s cleaning, managing your team, or just handling the day-to-day. That recognition will help you feel more capable and ready to tackle bigger challenges.
Delegate What Drains You
Not everyone is good at everything, and that’s okay. Suzanne reminds listeners that if you’re struggling with something, like managing numbers or dealing with marketing, it’s okay to delegate. Successful business owners don’t have to be experts in every area. By focusing on what you’re passionate about and outsourcing the rest, you can run your business more efficiently. Both Suzanne and Mike share how they rely on each other’s strengths—Mike doesn’t try to be an expert in Suzanne’s area, and vice versa. This teamwork leads to a more successful and balanced business.
Create the Business (and Life) You Want
Lastly, Suzanne encourages listeners to give themselves the respect and recognition they deserve. If you’re waiting for others to affirm your success or your worth, start by acknowledging it yourself. Whether it’s rewarding yourself with flowers or simply saying “I did a great job,” self-love and appreciation help build confidence. As Mike puts it, the way you experience your business matters as much as the destination. When you cultivate a positive mindset, not only will your business thrive, but you’ll enjoy the journey even more.
With these mindset shifts, you can build the business and life you’ve always wanted. Tune in for more insights and practical advice on how to grow your cleaning company and lead with confidence.
