Numbers Matter I - Why Numbers Matter
You MUST know your numbers to survive and thrive in your solo cleaning company. Numbers Matter. I was asked WHY in a recent Solo Elite Membership Call. After answering the question, I realized that I needed to start a new MEGA-series on all-things-numbers.
In this episode, I answer the basic question of why. It’s humorous as I poke and prod at the majority of solo cleaners that I get on phone calls with. They don’t know their numbers… like NONE of them. This is so foundational that it’s one of the 4 Fundamentals of the ISO Model. By the end of this episode, you will be ready for me to pile on the rest of the MEGA-series. Here is what you can expect.
- Numbers Matter II: Count the Cost – You need to know your numbers in order to complete the project. It’s biblical!
- Numbers Matter III: Are You Financially Fluent – This one will hurt if you don’t know the language of numbers. But it will help!
- Numbers Matter IV: Would you Rather have 100% or 1%? – Now that you are gaining a foundation of understanding WHY numbers are important, this episode will allow you to see the benefits of strategic planning with your numbers.
- Numbers Matter V: What is Your Hour Worth – Have you ever stopped to consider if the work that you’re doing is worth it? This episode will force you to measure your productivity and assess.
- Numbers Matter VI: Audit to Optimize – In this final episode of the series, I am putting it all together. I break down the 3 areas a solo cleaner needs to master in order to optimize. They will need to understand their numbers to conduct a proper audit of each area. The solo that is efficient in ALL 3 is the Optimized Solo that loves their business!
- Accounting Basics I: Accounting Basics – Where the heck do we start with accounting and bookkeeping? What’s the difference? Colette Mellott is my accountant. She breaks it all down so it is easy to understand.

- Accounting Basics III: Keep Clean Records – How do you prepare your numbers to effectively work with an accounting professional? Colette explains the basics.
Once I have proven numbers are important and shown you how to track them, I’ll start the third numbers series on Investing in Your Business. I’m so excited to walk you through all-things-numbers this summer. I hope you stay tuned.
