1. What do you love or hate the most about your side hustle? I enjoy seeing the results of our work and knowing that we are helping businesses maintain a clean, safe, and professional environment. The most challenging part is managing schedules, client expectations, and maintaining consistent quality as the business grows. 2. What advice would you give someone just starting out? My advice is to start small, focus on quality, and build a strong reputation. Be reliable, communicate well with your clients, and never sacrifice the quality of your work just to take on more accounts. 3. What would you change about your side hustle if you could? I would invest more in growing the business, especially in equipment, training, and developing a reliable team. My goal would be to grow while maintaining the same level of quality and personal service that our clients expect.
