Qualified Business Strategist & Coach 🤓 Hi, I’m Kelly, founder of Maid in Business 👋

I created Maid In Business to help Cleaning Business Owners just like YOU make your cleaning business profitable, manageable and scalable. No gimmicks, no tricks, no blag. ❌

With 10 years of corporate sales and business development experience and 15 years of operating a domestic and commercial cleaning business, I can walk my talk, and I can help you walk yours too! Once you move beyond managing the cleaning tasks on your own and start hiring staff to meet the increasing demand, you are essentially transforming into a cleaning business. This requires a different set of skills to run and manage the operations effectively. The same is true when going Limited or VAT registered – I can help you build the systems to scale and automate your business because I have been through every stage myself. Thinking of selling or franchising your cleaning business? Contact me, I can help with this too...

It can be lonely and confusing building a cleaning business; knowing how to price up work, take on cleaners, grow your client base and keep everyone happy. So, don't be alone - hit that like button, sign up for the newsletter and join the private group

Let's clean up your business! ❤️

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream.” – Anatole France

BUT

A dream without a plan is a fantasy.
A plan without strategy + action is just a fancy document, vision board, or mind-map 🤷‍♀️

The sweet spot to success is in the planning, doing and believing - the magic th*****me.

👍🏽 Plan - the goal and the path to get to the goal

✔️ Take the actions outlined in your plan

🌟 Believe in yourself, your service-delivery, and your business - believe you are more than capable of taking the daily actions to meet your goal

When trying to adopt a new habit or mindset change - environmental psychology says to change your physical surroundings to make the change fully real in your brain 😳

This is because there is a strong, two-way link between our physical environment and our mental state and behaviors.

How Changing Your Space Helps Your Noodle 👇🏽

✅ Send A Signal - The physical change is a real and visible signal to your brain of your new intentions and values.

The moving around of furniture acts as a clear break from old routines and mental states, helping to "reset" your mental and emotional state, and fostering a sense of a fresh start.

✅ Control Baby - The process of actively deciding on and making changes to your space gives you a feeling of control over your life, which is empowering and helps you feel safer and more confident in embracing change.

✅ Disrupt Your Routine - Our environment is full of cues that trigger automatic behaviors and mindsets that you are not aware of - rearranging your space removes or changes your old triggers, making it easier to break negative habits and form new, positive ones.

✅ Clean Space = Clean Mind - Cluttered and disorganized spaces increase stress (cortisol) levels, confuse decision-making, and make it harder to focus. 😩

An organised space can promote a sense of calm, clarity, and well-being, creating a supportive environment for your new mindset.

✅ Get Stimulated - A change to your physical environment prompts your brain to look at things from different angles (literally!) which can help spark creativity, improve problem-solving skills, and offer fresh ideas when you're feeling stuck

I am working with a mindset coach, and as part of bedding in my new thoughts, habits and actions, I’ve had a reshuffle of my home office - as they say “a change is as good as a rest”

When did you last change your space or room around? Did it help your mind?

Lots of people start a business, especially a cleaning service, thinking, “How hard can it be?”

Harder than you think as it happens!

Around 50% of new businesses are gone within 12 months.

Of the ones that survive… only a tiny fraction (3–5%) are still standing three years later. 😳

It’s not just about cleaning houses, offices, bins or gutters.

You have to learn:

👉🏽 How to get clients consistently
👉🏽 How to get paid properly and keep cash flowing
👉🏽 The business cycle and strategies for growth
👉🏽 How to think like a CEO - especially when things get messy (and they will)

Because running a business comes with pressure.
No matter how big you grow or how small you stay.

This year, I invested in my own mindset coach.

For years I’ve operated in “full-out hustle mode”. It worked at the start.
But it doesn’t serve me anymore.

Especially with multiple autoimmune conditions.
I’m done with the cycle of pushing flat-out for three weeks and then being wiped out for one.

That pattern? I’m breaking it.

One of the tools my coach uses is a “thought download” - objectively analysing your thoughts and feelings.

Sounds simple. It’s not, well not for me.

I’ve realised I’ve been emotionally numb for a very long time. And if I want to fix my health and my businesses long-term to always work for me and nig against me, I have to fix my thinking too.

So I’ve been researching, using AI, and pulling from psychology and philosophy to create journal prompts that help expand emotional awareness and build stronger thinking patterns.

Because success isn’t just strategy.
It’s identity.
It’s mindset.
It’s sustainability.

Keep going. Most people will quit.

Need some help with your own mind, thoughts and feelings?

Sometimes, it's only when things go wrong, that you learn how to do things right!

Sounds weird but is totally true.

You don't learn, grow, or expand when everything is successful… if anything, when things go too well, instead of building upon that, we can become complacent and take our feet off the peddles a little 😳

BUT, when things go wrong, you are suddenly forced to think of new solutions or ways of getting round the problem.

When things are failing in business, you are forced to evaluate your skills, the gaps in skills, and the bottlenecks of your business - you are forced to build and learn new ways of doing things

NOTHING grows in the comfort zone

Think about a time in your business, or even your personal life, where a good thing has come out of everything falling to crap!

You grew as person or business owner yes?

So, my love, the moral of the story is this - fail often and fail fast, and me er be afraid of failing as that is where the gold often lives!

When have you failed in life or business, that actually turned out to be a good thing for you?

My face when I see a cleaner who doesn’t have a terms of service to protect them and their business.

A ‘terms of service’ doesn't have to be a long-winded legal document (NOTE: this is for domestic cleaning - for commercial cleaning you ABSOLUTELY need a legal ‘Terms of Business’ and a contract)

In a ‘terms of service’ you can literally set the rules for engaging with your business.

It should cover things like:

🟣 Who supply the cleaning products and/or equipment

🟣 When and how you get paid

🟣 What happens if something is broken or damaged on a clean.

🟣 What happens if your locked out or can’t enter the clean through no fault of yours.

🟣 What happens if payment is late

🟣 Where and how you handle client keys, alarm codes etc

🟣 What happens if a client approaches your cleaner

🟣 What happens if you or the client has to cancel a clean, or cancel altogether?

The ‘Terms of Service’ are your rules and boundaries.

It's what you provide, and what you expect from your client and it helps the cleaning business owner have some control and clarity in and over their business.

Tell me, would I make this face at you?

In the current climate, I see folks struggling with both.

Either folks can find the clients, but can’t find the cleaners to do the work

Or they have the bodies but not enough hours for them 😩

It can create a horrible cleaning chicken and egg problem for what you, as the cleaning business owner, goes after first…

Clients who can wait for a cleaner, or a cleaner that can wait for hours, are rare things.

For me it was that I needed flexibility around my children, and step children. Life threw a curve ball, as life does, and I went from a corporate business development manager to a cleaner overnight.

👀 If you fancy a nosey, my full story is on the website - www.maidinbusiness.com/about

I intended cleaning until then youngest got to reception, and then going back into sales and business development, but it turned out I really, really loved building a business and so I stayed doing exactly that the for almost 16 years.

I've built domestic and commercial cleaning businesses and employed large teams of people.

Since 2013, I've worked with others, through Maid In Business, who were either starting a cleaning business, or are stuck and need help with the next stages in their business, be that:

👉🏽 Going from sole trader to Limited

👉🏽 Going VAT registered

👉🏽 Starting, growing and managing a team

👉🏽 Systemising their business and processes ready to franchise, sell or simply work less hours

👉🏽 Adding revenue streams to their business beyond cleaning

I love the flexibility, the different ways to diversify in the cleaning industry, and the transformations we can make happen in peoples homes or work places with elbow grease and skills.

Why did you start your cleaning, and what do you love most about the cleaning industry?

Had to try it… 🤷🏼‍♀️😂
