The 6 Toxic Beliefs That Will Kill Your Cleaning Company

The 6 Toxic Beliefs That Will Kill Your Cleaning Company

As the owner of your cleaning company, your employees pay attention to how you

act and what you say.

The things you say and do affect your company’s

culture. You need to set the tone, not merely reflect

what is happening.

Belief 1: You Must Be Perfect Every Time or You’re Ruined

You should absolutely strive to make every client happy and aim for

perfection at every job.

However, it’s unrealistic to expect to achieve perfection every time

in all your business goals.

• You will never fully meet every single goal• You will never create the perfect

marketing piece• You will never have the “perfect” company

Solution: Focus on the direction, not the destination.

Belief 2: Failure is Permanent

Don’t allow your past mistakes to overwhelm you, or prevent you from

making progress.

A truly successful business owner knows that failures can teach you even more than success!

Solution: Forgive yourself (and employees) for past failures. Think about what each failure has taught you, and how you can learn from

them in the future.

Belief 3: Emotions vs. Reality

Emotions have the power to skew your perception of reality.

It’s crucial to keep a “big picture” view of your business, no matter what fire you’re putting out.

Solution: Relax, and try to

separate yourself from the

problem, so you can think with a

cool head.

Belief 4: My Worth Comes From Others

You should not be easily affected by the positive praise or negative

comments of others.

Listen to what people have to say, but don’t allow it to change who you are or what you intend to accomplish.

Solution: Write Out Your “Why” — your purpose for starting a company – and keep

it somewhere visible.

Learn how to figure out what YOUR “Why” is.

Belief 5: It’s Better to Blend In

Business owners CAN’T blindly follow what

everyone else has always

done!

Solution: Have confidence, take the initiative, and lead!

Belief 6: You Don’t Need Help

You can’t build a multi-million dollar company without great employees.

Learn how to find new employees as you grow.

Delegating isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s the mark of maturity and a growing company!

Solution: Thank your employees for all that they do. Then, empower them to

take responsibility.

Then, find a group like Service Autopilot Academy and

start getting help from other business owners in the grind too.

If any of these toxic beliefs are weighing YOU down, they are also

weighing your company down.

Free yourself from this kind of thinking, and get back to growing

your cleaning business.
