“We’re in the ‘working on it’ phase.” “Sometimes we fight, but we love each other, too.” “We beat each other up last month (this is my first abusive experience in a relationship).” Lately I’ve been talking to a lot of women business owners, and the way they’re describing their businesses sounds a lot like the way some women talk about the men in their lives. Especially men we would call “bad boys.” Here are 5 key reasons women fall out of love with their business: 1. You’re not getting the results you want and feel incredibly disappointed. 2. You ignore your own successes and instead compare your business to everyone else’s, feeling like a total failure. 3. You’re operating out of a “make-it-work” mentality and a “have-to” space. You feel contracted, rigid, unbalanced, and MISERABLE. 4. You’re overworked, overwhelmed, and frustrated that you’re not getting farther ahead financially. 5. You feel like you’re giving up too much of yourself and not getting enough in return. Are you and your business heading for a breakup, in need of couples therapy, or ready to get engaged with a big, fat ring? Visit 30daysofbrilliance.com for more details.

I am in a bind for extra money and I am interested in starting a part time residential cleaning business as a one woman business (you can see that this will be a very very small business). I already work full time and would like to do this on the side.

I already have most of the supplies because I am a neat freak and I was going to start out with door hangers to advertise. I am only interested in cleaning 1 to 2 houses per week.

I am looking for advice on how to get started, what services to offer as a very small business, what to charge/how to bill, and I would like your experienced thoughts on whether it is worth it to start such a small business.

Please post your thoughts especially if you are already doing something like this, on a small scale, however all thoughts are welcome.
