Most people have always been afraid in taking the risks and starting out a business of their own. Their reason for this varies from an individual to an individual but mostly is the fear of having mo real job security. For the natural entrepreneurs security comes a s a part of the risk they always take. It comes from designing your life goals. In fact, one can create job security by putting forth the efforts to call their own shots and making key decisions which make sense in your business world.
A friend of mine started a house cleaning business over ten years ago and he has been going from strength to strength. The reason he started the business is because he wanted to call his own shots. According to him his first concern when he started the small family business was the job security but he gradually overcame this hurdle. The next problem was his level of cleaning business Education. He did not have much of the needed basic cleaning skills at his belt but he pushed on and learned through mistakes.
He made the following discoveries about his new business venture;
ü Cleaning other peoples houses pays very well
ü The job is quite satisfying to the soul the reason being that leaving behind a thoroughly clean and neat house is quite in order.
ü Being your own boss is simply fantastic
He also found out that he had good research skills. This aided him to keep at par with other professional. Above all he learned that diligence and excellent service provided him with all the job security he needed. According to him cleaning houses is an great idea. Why?
I. Limitless income generating venture
As long as people live in houses cleaning up will always be needed. This being so, you can grow your business as much as you want to, the income generated by engaging in this business is also unlimited.
II. Start generating money within a short period of time
Once you start the business you will discover interested clients within a few days. By the end of the second week you will probably have more clients than you can service and within a months time your business will have grown too big to require addition staff.
III. The start-up capital should always be minimal.
With a $100 you can start your own cleaning business. All you will need is some good cleaning brooms and old rugs to start the gig. This is one business you can start with very little, in fact you don’t need a car or a vacuum cleaner for a start-up.
IV. You will love being your own boss
Nothing compares to the pride you will have when you know the buck always lies with you.
V. You work at your own hours.
When you are empowered with the knowledge that you can take charge of your own working schedule, you take more pride and interest on whatever work you are engaged in.
VI. Getting paid when you want.
Yes this is possible, in fact if you demand so you are paid on a daily bases. Now, what can surpass this?
VII. Cleaning houses is not emotionally or mentally tiring.
This is physical work and you only exhaust your body leaving your brains in tact for other mental duties.
VIII. You can choose who to work with or for.
IX. Work close to your Home
There are plenty of cleaning jobs in the neighborhood, thus you don’t have to Travel far in search of work.
X. Maximize your profits by starting other cleaning services.
Carpet cleaning, pet cleaning, house sitting steam cleaning, plant-scaping and others are all offshoots of starting a house cleaning business.

Should I get divorced and start all over?
Here’s the deal.
I have a home based business and I have been doing quite well financially for several years. I did however spend most of my time making the business work. I didn’t spend much time cleaning my house, but I like to have a clean house.
SO, I decided to hire a maid. I went through several before I hired "Maria" (not her real name). After Maria worked for me about 9 months, we became involved sexually. well one thing led to another and we ended up getting married.
Maria had several clients and was busy with her house cleaning business. But once we got married she inexplicably decided to stop working. We don’t have children and she is not pregnant. Maria likes to go shopping and have coffee Klatches with her girlfriends. She has them over while I am working and it is rather disruptive.
Maria has also let the household go quite a bit, when I ask her to clean up she snaps at me and says "I’m not your F’n maid, I’m your wife" and "You could clean up after yourself oncein a while too" etc.
Well, I said, actually, you ARE my maid. I hired you to clean my house, the fact that we are now married doesn’t change that. You still collect money from me each week,(actually all the time) and I want my money’s worth. So I have cut her off from all the credit cards and I don’t put money into the joint account where she has an atm card.
What Maria doesn’t know is that my house and cars and every stick of furniture and every appliance isn’t owned by me, but is part of an irrevocable family trust.
We have only been married 18 months and I feel like I was suckered by a lazy chick who just wanted a free ride.
Should I kick her to the curb and hire a new maid?
I would say yes…but this time don’t mix business with pleasure/

Yep, sounds like a good plan to me.

If this is how you feel, why do you even need to ask?

I will take her off your hands if you continue paying for her services. My house is getting a bit dusty and my laundry needs to be folded.
Does she do windows?
References :
C-mon man!! That is a heck of allot of writing for something so obvious….YES YOU SHOULD
References :
If you never loved her and it was just pleasure gone wrong, move on. She obviously isn’t too concerned either. If she decided to quit working and let the new hubby foot the bills… her mistake to think the new hubby wasn’t going to spoil her and hire a new maid. You wanted a maid with your last name and a ATM. Next time be a little more aware of what you’re looking for in a wife and ask what they want. Some men can tell if the woman is a lazy chick early on.

Get read of her but this time make sure the new made is older and not your type.
References :
yes, she just used you. but by you being married to her your money is hers and hers is yours so she doesn’t really have to work for you.

She is your wife, not your maid any more. And being mouthy and disrespecting your wife by essentially saying she is your maid and needs to earn her keep is demeaning and inhumane. Do you also make sure to pay her fair share for sex? You may conveniently say that everything is in a family trust, but you are working and she is entitled to what you earn. You have just as much responsibility for the cleaning as she does. If you actually love her (doesn’t sound like it) maybe you should hire a maid and try to salvage the relationship. Sounds like you just enjoyed her when she was the poor little grateful employee of yours and you got to play the part of the big strong man saving the day, and now that she should be your equal, you don’t like it. Maybe some couples counseling will help both of you see why both of you are doing what you are doing, and also set up a budget and home work schedule you can live with.

huh! I work from home too… only I married a fashion designer… so now I sit around at home in my undies while she flies to Paris on a Concorde.
I highly recommend you make enquiries for a Swedish maid.

Well Mr. Moneybags, if you’re so damn rich, hire a full time maid anyway.
People that come from little money do not become personal property when married.
Chances are, you’re some schlep living in a 400 square foot trailer that’s living off of some government subsidiary.

KICK HER ASS TO THE CURB!!!! She is deffinately taking you for a ride. How rude!!! I would just be straight forward and say : " Maria, I am sick and tired of you parading around here with your friends, taking advantage of me and my assets, and for exhausting me financially! Im sorry but I want a divorce and you need to leave, and if you wont leave I will call the police, you have 24 hours." – good luck but the earlier the better

Common female tactic. You should divorce her if you have nothing to lose. Remember than men are less than dirt in divorce court. You should do it before she has a chance of getting pregnant or her "annuity" will severely hurt you financially.
The longer you wait, the bigger chance you have of paying alimony.

She is not your maid once you are married. What’s wrong with you?
