My name is Brian Winch, creator of Cleanlots. I’ve been operating a parking lot clean up business since 1981.
Let me take you back to when I started…
I was working at a sporting goods store, completely uninspired by my job and lacking motivation for it.
My prospects were slim as all I had was a high school diploma and a small savings account. But what I had was the motivation to change my life for the better and a willingness to work for myself.
That’s when I remembered my father used to make extra money on the side by cleaning up litter in a neighborhood shopping plaza. I’d gone along with him a few times as a kid and I remembered thinking how easy it was. It was literally a case of us walking around the property cleaning up litter before the stores opened the next day and getting paid for it.
It was then that I decided to start a home-based litter cleanup business part-time so the work didn’t interfere with my full-time job. I contacted property management companies and offered to clean their retail, office and warehouse properties on a daily basis.
After just two months I was making more money than in my full-time job. I bet you can guess what I did next… I QUIT MY JOB.
I turned my $200 investment into a $650,000+ per year business. I never dreamed I could turn a litter cleanup business into such an enjoyable lifestyle, but I did.
