Hi Michael, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started my business in 2017 in the backseat of my car. I have to be a fire from a Carpet Cleaning company for one string of hair. When he fired me that motivated me to start my own business, I recall the first company that I started working with was SOS Carpet my boss had a portable extractor that was broken. He told me to get rid of it, but when he didn’t know, I took that portable extractor home and put it on my patio not knowing four years later that extracted was gonna start my business. . When I was terminated for my job for the one string of hair, I took that pull of extractor and put it in the shop to get it fixed not knowing what the cost was going to be for the repairs once I submitted it to this shop to be repaired. They called me the next day and told me Miss you were extractor is ready so I thought it was gonna be over 1000 bucks for repairs literally that I know it was only $50 and that’s where my life began . A friend of mine’s name o”Reginald Dobson. introduce me to Department of vocational rehabilitation and Lord behold they finding my business by giving me 17,400. I bought a van the equipment and I haven’t looked back since, the rest was history.
