The Pick Up Cash, Not Trash Podcast: Recent Episodes
Mike Mak
You've been lied to, and so have I. The road to financial freedom and business success may be filled with barbwire, broken glass, and trap doors. Still, there truly is a shortcut that anyone can take if you know where to look. We've also been lied to about how the way to the "top" is by out-working everyone. I've learned that you can work 13-17 hours per day to make yourself financially successful, but you'll never be truly free if you take that path. I've made both mistakes, and the result was some financial success but NO financial freedom or fulfillment. If you listen to this podcast, you will have a deep understanding of what it takes to build an automated cleaning business and a straightforward guide to building it with zero experience. It's time for you to start picking up cash, minus the trash.
Navigating Hiring Challenges and Red Flags in Your Cleaning Business In this episode of the Pick Up Cash, Not Trash podcast, hosts Mike Mak and Jeff Anthony, alongside their guest Steve, a former head of operations turned client success manager, delve into the complexities of hiring and training employees for a cleaning business. They discuss a specific example of a 'nightmare trainee' who presented numerous red flags during the training process, including lack of physical capability for the job, inappropriate attire, and suspicious behavior indicating possible drug use. The conversation highlights the importance of recognizing red flags early on, having honest discussions with potential hires about job expectations and challenges, and the necessity of following a rigorous hiring process to avoid similar issues. It provides valuable insights for those in the cleaning business on how to handle hiring and training effectively to ensure the success and workflow efficiency of their business. 00:00 Introduction to the Profitable Business Podcast00:42 Meet the Hosts and Dive into Today's Episode01:34 The Nightmare Trainee Story Begins03:20 A Trainee's Unusual Second Day05:44 The Decision to Cut Ties09:37 Reflecting on the Experience and Lessons Learned13:44 Wrapping Up and Encouraging Engagement

How did we grow our cleaning business so fast?
Did we have a big budget? No, it was actually quite the opposite.
So we knew we had to get creative.
You see, when it comes to getting clients, most people go about it the wrong way.
They're all using the same tired messaging, doing the same sleazy tactics and it almost never works.
We do things completely different.
Our local unicorn method positions our company as the authoirty in our market.
This helps us stand out from the competition so we can charge a premium for our services.
And on this episode, we're going to show you exactly how you can do it too.
Are cleaning businesses a dirty business to get into?
On this episode we discuss why anyone should want to start a commercial cleaning business.
