Tell us about your businesses, the inspiration behind it and when you launched it?

I wanted a business with a scalable business model and to work from home. I chose a cleaning franchise where I don’t have to do the cleaning. I am instead involved in the management of staff and clients, and aim to provide a 5 star service!

 

Best piece of advice you were given at the start of your business journey?

Fake it until you make it!

The reliability of staff is a big issue. At the start I let it really affect me as I didn’t want to let my clients down. Now I know how to deal with it more calmly and efficiently.

Not to think about tomorrow, just think about today.
