We know that our job is to get things done – not to do them ourselves. So why do we often end up frustrated when we think something hasn’t been done properly?The easy answer is that we have employees who don’t have the initiative, skills or experience to do anything except follow instructions.

So, what’s the secret, you ask!?!?There is really no wrong way for you to clean a home. But as with any business, time in your cleaning business is valuable. The more cleaning jobs you can fit into a day, the more potential profit you earn. If you can complete the basics faster, then you have more time to offer specialized services or to move on to cleaning the next home.When you start cleaning it is important to not track dirt into rooms that you have already That successful cataloguers use postcards to market!

Time is the sparsest of all resources. Use it wisely. It’s not so much about time management as it is about strategic management.Management tends to focus on the issues of the day more often than on strategic application. Each person in an executive team has areas that they are accountable for and these demand attention. Operational issues rise to the top and need attention. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Everyone starts with good intentions. Take a few pills here; drink a glass of juice there. Unfortunately, before long, pills get bothersome and glass bottles are less than portable.Are you tired of choking down pills and capsules and mixing yucky tasting powders that you have to mix with water or juice in order to take your basic nutritional supplementation?
