I did bookkeeping for all kinds of one person businesses. No matter how good they were at their craft, they failed if they didn't know how to estimate a job, present it, anticipate problems, and follow through on getting paid. We could be here all day and still not teach you anything. You read and read, ask and listen, and use your brain. Being self employed is VERY time consuming. About a third of your work time will be hidden from the customer, so you have to charge that much more, at least, for the actual cleaning. Someone comes here every day asking about starting a cleaning business.
