Go Green Clean ,

So helpful as we restart our company.

We have owned our cleaning company since 2007. It made a great living for us but started to burn us out. We sold that company and moved to a different state. As we have restarted our cleaning company in a new state this podcast has been so valuable. The insight we have gained has us starting better than we ever were before.
