You just never know...

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to share something that I hope encourages you.

In addition to building my cleaning business, I also hold a real estate license and work another part-time job in the evenings. Recently, I made the decision to put my real estate license into a holding company. While it was a bit of a letdown—because I do enjoy that field—both businesses require a tremendous amount of time and financial commitment, which became a strain.

When I called my association to start the process, a woman I know there reminded me of their affiliate program. She checked their database and noticed they didn’t have any cleaning companies as affiliate partners. We decided to sign up as a partner, and she mentioned that an email will be sent to all association members on Monday, introducing us as a new affiliate partner and providing our contact information.

This came about from simply answering a question she asked me: “So, Tracey, what are you going to be doing now that you’re pausing your real estate business?” I replied, “I’m growing my cleaning company.”

Even though I know this is the right decision, I still felt a little down about stepping away from real estate. But I made sure to approach the phone call with a positive attitude, and I believe she picked up on that energy. What initially felt like a step backward has, I believe, turned into two steps forward.
