5 Things I Learned While Running a Carpet Cleaning Business
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice. –- Peter F. Drucker, Professor of Management
After moving to Layton in 1985, where I spent the next 14 years running my own carpet cleaning business, I learned some business lessons. And, as is usual in business, I learned them the hard way.
- If it’s not working, don’t keep spending money and time on it.
- Learn to recognize A customers from B customers.
- Knowledge = profit.
- Price for profit
- Be ready to seize opportunities

All the facts which are described here are 1005 right, a proper plan and valuation of a business is very important. In case of cleaning business, you get more profit by investing small amount of money, but it needs hard work and deep knowledge about effective cleaning services.
