002: Ron Holt, CEO, Two Maids & A Mop

Ron Holt, CEO & Founder of TWO MAIDS & A MOP™ went from managing chemical engineers and scientists to cleaning toilets … literally. His company has been ranked by Inc Magazine as one of the fastest growing cleaning companies in the country, now boasting 31 franchises. His number one pivotal strategy for success is having grit … and not just the grit you clean up. He lives and dies by this philosophy: “When you hit those moments when failure seems imminent, you’ve gotta have grit to fight through it. Money is less important than grit. From the highest level executive in the ivory tower to the lowest level employee, to success in business, you’ve gotta have some grit.” He was attracted to this “unsexy” industry and his reasons and strategy are fascinating.

Topics Include:

• The strategy to scaling a business in an “unsexy” industry
• Engaging and motivating a “blue collar” staff
• Staying focused on company vision in good and bad times
• Getting employees to care as much about the business as the leaders do
• Leveraging an employee compensation plan as a selling tool for acquiring new business
