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.
