#93: Couch-Surfing to CEO: Building a Million-Dollar Cleaning Company, with Misael Avalos
Most people want to grow their business, but few are willing to become the person required to do it. In this episode of Filthy Rich Cleaners, Misael Avalos talks about how he built his company, TimeMaid Cleaning in Arizona, from nothing after a rock-bottom moment changed everything.
They talk about the identity shifts, habits, and core values required to scale a cleaning business, and how Misael went from sleeping on his mom’s couch to cleaning seven days a week, handling every client himself, networking nonstop, and ultimately retiring his mother after 45 years in the field.
📌 What You’ll Learn
— Why personal growth is mandatory if you want business growth
— How Misael used "burn the boats” focus to scale from 0 to 24 cleaners
— The role of networking and community when you have no budget
— How your beliefs about yourself quietly limit your revenue
— Why core values must be yours first before they become your team’s
— How to fire fast without losing team morale
