Hello Cleaning Nation! Today on the podcast, we have our wonderful in-house mindset coach Tracey Thompson chatting with Ryan Zawicki. Ryan is a recent next-level member who started his commercial cleaning business in Pa Commerical Cleaning Services in June 2021 in Chester County Pennsylvania.

Ryan has a unique perspective on how to start your business on the right foot and the difference having the right systems and processes can make to help you get ahead rather than wade through lots of rookie mistakes.

In Quentin’s case, he didn't want until his business was on fire or really struggling to start looking for help. He has always had the belief that it benefits him to look outside himself for business and personal coaching. So when he heard about Mike and his cleaning program, that really resonated with him and he decided to join. At the time, he was seeing some steady growth and was bringing in about $10,000 a month even though he didn’t have a team yet.
