@Stephanie Lane meet everybody! We’re glad you are here! In a nutshell, this community is similar in format to FB where it’s easy to scroll, post, comment, etc. A differentiation is a classroom section and we’re slowly adding more there. A new course on pricing just got published within the past month. More will be added. And there’s a Calendar section (I need to add a couple more for this month. December will go up next week). There are weekly calls. Finally, there’s a gamification to this with free stuff and rewards.

Thanks to @Mark Lineberry for Sparking Three Walkthroughs and Counting! I had three walkthroughs this month so far and another scheduled for Friday. Going to check out your pricing course to make sure my numbers are where I want them.

I have a former coaching client who came up with a cool idea. She suggested that I create a pricing challenge with this community. I'd create a fictional (or maybe even a real) scenario, throw it out to this group, and see who gets closest to that price. It wouldn't be reward-based since we all can come up with a price and we all could be correct provided the price is profitable. But this way we could work through a price together and see how we each do things differently based on our pricing strategy.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share something that I hope encourages you. In addition to building my cleaning business, I also hold a real estate license and work another part-time job in the evenings. Recently, I made the decision to put my real estate license into a holding company. While it was a bit of a letdown—because I do enjoy that field—both businesses require a tremendous amount of time and financial commitment, which became a strain. When I called my association to start the process, a woman I know there reminded me of their affiliate program. She checked their database and noticed they didn’t have any cleaning companies as affiliate partners. We decided to sign up as a partner, and she mentioned that an email will be sent to all association members on Monday, introducing us as a new affiliate partner and providing our contact information. This came about from simply answering a question she asked me: “So, Tracey, what are you going to be doing now that you’re pausing your real estate business?” I replied, “I’m growing my cleaning company.” Even though I know this is the right decision, I still felt a little down about stepping away from real estate. But I made sure to approach the phone call with a positive attitude, and I believe she picked up on that energy. What initially felt like a step backward has, I believe, turned into two steps forward.

Hey everyone. I have a commercial client requesting to get the walls in their small office cleaned twice a year. What do you all use to clean the walls for your commercial clients?
