S2 Episode 4 - How to get paid in full by the end of the month!

How to get paid in full by the end of the month!

Yes, Listen to this short but mighty episode to learn how to get paid but the end of the month.


Cleaning business owners... are you struggling to make your cleaning business profitable?

Do you struggle to find clients who pay you what you're worth?

Do you struggle to find quality cleaning staff who show up when they say they will?

And does it feel your business is more like a poorly paid job where you get zero time off?

If this is how you feel, I'm here to let you know that you CAN change this.

I want to show you how. 

If you want more freedom, more time, and greater financial security, look no further because I have the exact success blueprint that I used to start and grow multiple cleaning businesses into six figures and beyond.

But, it's strange, isn't it?

There's likely a huge demand for cleaners in your area and that demand isn't slowing - even with a cost of living crisis.

Yet, despite the strength of the demand, so many cleaning business entrepreneurs struggle again and again with three major challenges:

Challenge #1 - They struggle to attract the right kind of clients

Challenge #2 - They struggle to build a team, and

Challenge #3 - They struggle to become profitable and break through to earn six figures and beyond

These are the biggest challenge for any cleaning business owner, regardless of where you are right now.

You may have started a cleaning business and have a few clients but don't feel you're earning enough from them to hire someone, leaving you trapped doing the cleaning in your own business.

You may have started to build a team but you find it a rollercoaster as team members leave and clients dry up leaving you with cash flow issues and a mountain of paperwork still to do.

Or you're right at the start and want to jump into running your own cleaning business but you're confused and don't know where to start.

It’s SO frustrating when there is so much opportunity in front of you, and you just can't get over that hurdle.

I’m here to tell you right now, you’re SO close.

No matter where you are, you can find more clients, hire reliable staff and scale your business quickly by focusing on a growth system that is proven to work.

How do I know this?

Because I’ve built my cleaning businesses employing a huge number of cleaners over X years far beyond six figures.

I’ve tried and tested so many business models, hired so many team members and tried so many sales and marketing strategies until I found a system that combined everything that works to successfully grow and scale my own businesses.

And, in doing so, these have helped me generate a huge income and gain much, much more freedom in my own life.

Now, that my cleaning business runs itself, I spend most of my time helping cleaning business entrepreneurs by sharing with them the exact blueprint that has been proven to WORK for me and others I've coached.

(How great would it be to avoid all the mistakes and pitfalls that everyone else suffers on the road to hitting the income you really want?)

Now, I want to share this blueprint with you.

And why I’m inviting you to my FREE 5-Day Challenge.

Join the challenge and discover the exact success blueprint I used to start and grow multiple 6-figure cleaning businesses (and how you can do the same in less than 12 months).

This event is an action-packed day of teaching where I pull back the curtain on how to rapidly grow your online business, no matter what stage you’re at.

But before I share more about the challenge, let me introduce myself.

My name is Ilze Whiteman, and I help cleaning business entrepreneurs build and scale their cleaning businesses to six figures and beyond.

As I've mentioned, I’ve built my own hugely successful cleaning businesses, and I’ve coached and trained thousands of cleaners from around the world. 

And now I want to help YOU.
