In today’s episode we welcome back return guest Michelle Reed. Michelle is looking to make her first 2-3 hires in the next few months and she isn’t sure if she should hire then as 1099 contractors or W2 employees.
Listen in and discover what questions you have to answer for your cleaning business before deciding on what type of employee to hire.
If you’re like most cleaners out there that have been cleaning for years, you probably have these thoughts around hiring your first employee:
I have to do it myself
If I hire someone, they will screw it up
I can’t afford to pay someone else to clean
That “mothering” mentality can really cause you to have mental roadblocks to delegating that part of your growing business. It’s crucial to your success that you resolve those issues before moving forward with hiring for your cleaning business
KEY POINT: Address your mental roadblocks before tackling the next step in your cleaning business
In order to tackle those roadblocks Mike talks to Michelle about her true goals. Watch now and start asking yourself the same questions!
Over the last year, Michelle discovered her ultimate goal is to help other moms create income for themselves. She wants to do this by hiring them to do the cleaning. In order for that goal to be reached she is going to have to make that emotional switch from ” I can do it better so I have to do it myself” to “I need to teach and support them and be OK with it being a learning process until they can do it just as good as me”
KEY MINDSHIFT: I am not here to clean this person’s house, I am here to provide an income to other mom’s like me
If your goal for your cleaning business is to feel good knowing you’ve done an amazing job, hiring employees may not be the right move. Having to go through a training process is going to get in the way of your goal and ultimately make things 100x harder if not impossible for you to succeed.
But, if your goal is to develop people and provide income to other moms and ideally income for yourself for work you don’t have to perform NOW you’re ready to hire!
Listen now to find out which type of employee Mike recommends for Michelle’s cleaning business and how to determine which one is right for you.
