Janitorial Services Growth * Talking Clean in a Dirty World
Monday Jun 26, 2023
Monday Jun 26, 2023
The topic for today's discussion is whether or not there really is going to be a 9% growth in the custodial/janitorial cleaning market over the next decade.
This report says: Global Janitorial Services Market Report 2023: Growing Demand for the Real Estate Industry Fuels the Sector Link to the report: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/global-janitorial-services-market-report-2023-growing-demand-for-the-real-estate-industry-fuels-the-sector-301849394.html
Javier starts the conversation by telling us what his Tampa-based, Modern Cleaning Solutions is doing and some of the services they are providing outside of servicing the normal, routine cleaning tasks that everyone thinks about.
Bobby from GEM Supply looks at it differently as maybe this 9% is just riding the inflation wave of business. He points out that in Florida, building is booming, and cleaning operations are most likely outpacing the rest of the US.
Don, a facility advisor for GEM Supply has a completely different take on the subject. His belief is that this growth is due more to the generational issues of "someone else" doing the cleaning because they don't want to do that. He also points out that rental properties in Florida are booming and are the growth sector janitorial operations should be looking to for their business growth.

”Work-Life Harmony Not Balance,” says Mickey Anderson
Friday Jun 09, 2023
Friday Jun 09, 2023
Work-life harmony is more the correct way of looking at our lives rather than the old, Worklife Balance of before, says Mickey Anderson.
In this episode of our podcast with Dave, she explores the reason we never really achieve a balance, but a harmony within our lives of all the parts of who and what we are.
Do you prioritize your value tasks for the day?
Are you spending your $100 an hour day on $10 tasks?
If so, you need to contract those tasks out. Mickey talks about a "Time or Calendar Audit".
Every time you put a task on the calendar, put a $ figure by it.
At the end of a month or quarter, see how your day is filled with the right $ figures.
By the way, look at the bottom of Mickey Anderson's front webpage and find the 21 Reusable AI Prompts, you'll be glad you did!

Using AI to ”Rip Off & Duplicate”
Tuesday May 16, 2023
Tuesday May 16, 2023
You just have to listen to get the full picture here but Mickey gave us a quote from the book, "Double, Double"
R&D - Rip Off & Duplicate
So, instead of you spending all the your time researching, USE AI.
Now, when it comes to using CHAT, here is some of what they talked about.
First, you have to tell CHAT what you want. "Write me a...." If you don't tell it what you want, then it can't CHAT with you! The more you talk with it, the more it learns what you need. Mickey says, "The more you train it the better it gets."
Second, be specific in your request. The more you tell it exactly what you want or what to change in the message, the more it can search the internet for the best response.
Mickey says there are AI tools that help you target the right tool for the right needs. Maybe you need to look at https://www.jasper.ai/

Have you used Google Maps, let your phone help you with the next words to use, or used the words that pop up when you're writing a text?
This is all AI, and you're using it now.
Mickey says, now you just need to use it with purpose.
Surferseo.com is one of the tools that Mickey Anderson recommends you use to optimize your strategy, boost traffic and increase your visibility.
Start on your own website, track your progress, and then use AI content creators to help push your message.
