Are You a 6 or a 10? (Most Cleaning Owners Don't Know)

The way you run your relationship at home is the exact same way you run your business.

Same strengths. Same blind spots. Same patterns.

Let me explain what I mean.

12 years ago, my wife Katie and I ended our anniversary night asking a question most couples only think but never say out loud:

"Am I with the wrong person?"

That night almost finished us.

Instead, it became the moment that changed everything — because we made a decision most couples never make.

Instead of avoiding the friction... we decided to confront it.

Hard conversations. Weekly check-ins. Clear ownership of responsibilities. Not romantic feelings — proven systems.

Here's what I've realized after 12 years of doing this work, both in our marriage and with cleaning business owners:

Most businesses under $1M are running exactly like a struggling relationship.

Fires everywhere. No clear ownership. Avoiding the hard conversations. Managing the same problems over and over.

You're not stuck because you're not working hard enough.

You're stuck because you're running your business on feelings instead of proven systems.

Katie and I developed something called The Partnership Test —

1–10 framework for how people show up, in relationships and in business.

A 6/10 avoids problems
A 7/10 reports problems
An 8/10 solves problems
A 9/10 prevents problems
A 10/10 creates momentum

Most cleaning business owners I talk to are 6s and 7s.

Smart, hardworking — but reactive. Always putting out fires. Never getting ahead of them.

The question that changed everything for Katie and me?

We stopped asking "why isn't my business working?"

And we started asking "what kind of owner am I showing up as?"

That's why I offer FREE Gameplan Calls to home cleaning business owners.

This is not a sales call. You literally cannot give me money on this call.

It's a focused conversation to:

→ Get brutally honest about where you actually are

→ Get clear on where you want to go

→ Map out the exact systems to close the gap

If you're a cleaning business owner under $1M — and you're tired of working hard without getting ahead — this call was built for you.

Spots are intentionally limited.

The real question isn't whether you're in the wrong business.

It's whether you're ready to become the right owner.
