When did you open your business? October 2012
What services do you offer? I originally started off doing property preservation but recently decided to specialize in residential and commercial cleaning.
Why did you start the business? I wanted my own business along with extra income. A friend of mines has her own cleaning business in Florida and she is doing very well so I decided to try it.
How many people are in your company? Right now just me (1)
What has been the biggest surprise, good or bad, since you started? I realize how much I need to learn about the cleaning business and how important marketing your business is. I just become a member of the janitorial store and my house cleaning biz and I am learning so much. Great investment!
What is the toughest part of running your business? I think right now finding accounts.
What is the best part of running your business? I am my own boss.

What is the most important thing you will be adding, doing, changing in the next year for your business? I want to grow my company and build a great reputation in the cleaning business. I want Sparkle By Design to be a well know and top of the line cleaning company. So I will be working very hard to achieve that.
Where do you see your business in 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years? In 2 years a full staff of employees. In 5 years, expand to other states. In 10 years, I will be sitting on someone's beach while my business is bringing in big bucks!...LOL!
What advice could you give others and please don't hold back! I would say to learn as much as possible about this business. Network, network and continuing networking. Alway be professional and mingle with successful people who can give you advise and direct you in the right path. Join a group like this and learn from people with experience. You don't have to reinvent the wheel just make it run smoothly!
How do you use MyHouseCleaningBiz.com to help you with your business? I love the forms and the how to videos so far. I am still exploring the wealth of knowledge on my house cleaning biz and the janitorial store.
School - high school, college, technical school: Abraham Lincoln HS, Miami Dade College and currently working on my bachelor.
What are some of your prior jobs or businesses? Worked in law enforcement most of my working career.
Is there a specific person or event in your life that made you decide to go into business for yourself? My mother has always encouraged me to get my own business.
