Numbers Matter I - Why Numbers Matter

Smart Cleaning School

You MUST know your numbers to survive and thrive in your solo cleaning company. Numbers Matter. I was asked WHY in a recent Solo Elite Membership Call. After answering the question, I realized that I needed to start a new MEGA-series on all-things-numbers.
In this episode, I answer the basic question of why. It’s humorous as I poke and prod at the majority of solo cleaners that I get on phone calls with. They don’t know their numbers… like NONE of them. This is so foundational that it’s one of the 4 Fundamentals of the ISO Model. By the end of this episode, you will be ready for me to pile on the rest of the MEGA-series. Here is what you can expect.
​

1. Numbers Matter II: Count the Cost – You need to know your numbers in order to complete the project. It’s biblical!
2. Numbers Matter III: Are You Financially Fluent – This one will hurt if you don’t know the language of numbers. But it will help!
