Do You Really Want a Successful Cleaning Business?

We've owned two cleaning businesses that we felt were quite successful. However our definition of successful may not be the same as someone else's definition of successful. It really doesn't matter, does it? What matters is that we knew what we wanted, we went after it and succeeded.

How many people say, I want this and I want that, but never seem to get what they want? They may blame it on bad luck or bad breaks, but I have a hunch they just didn't want it bad enough. I have learned to dream big and go after what I want. If I don't do it, no one else is going to hand it to me on a silver platter.

Here is a quote from an unkown author that I read every so often when I really want something, or have a dream that I want to see fulfilled:

If you really want it, you will have it. If it means enough to you, it will happen.

For if you really want it, you will find a way. You'll stop making excuses and start making it real.

The obstacles you encounter are not there to prevent you from reaching your goal. The obstacles are there to make sure you really want it.

When you really want it, you'll find away around, under, above or through each one of those obstacles. And as you do, you'll be literally creating the value of what you intend to achieve.

When you really want it enough, it is in many ways already yours. Full and complete attainment then becomes a matter of going through the motions and following a path that leads surely there.

Decide what you really want, and be careful what you decide upon. For when you truly want it, you will make it so.

I agree with you whole heartedly. If you want it bad enough you will continue to work at it regardless of the stumbling blocks and obstacles that are thrown into your path. Continue to strive beat the pavement until you get jobs! The first job will lead to a second job, but be sure you leave a good impression on the people you are performing for. They are future refrences. And anything that is worth having is worth working hard for! Nothing comes easy and the only thing that comes to a sleeper is a dream so get up and turn your dreams into realities!

Star - thanks for your feedback. You are absolutely right that anything worth having is worth working for. When Steve and I were starting over with 2 new businesses in 2002 it took us both a while to get going because we had moved to a new city and state so we didn't know anyone. It takes time to get your name out there. We could have easily given up (and I'm sure there are many people that would have), but we had a vision of what we wanted to we kept on working hard at it. It took a couple yrs to really get going but we did it!
