What a memorable picture! It was Painting Unit #1, July 6th, 2018. A client inquired about painting services, even though at the time we were solely focused on apartment cleaning. She wondered if we could also handle painting.
I asked my team if anyone knew how to paint, and one person said, "My husband does!" With this in mind, I confidently told the client, "YES, OF COURSE WE DO." It took three days and five people to complete what was then considered the worst painting job by the maintenance supervisor.
During those three days, I interviewed painters, took notes, and devised more efficient methods. From that initial disaster, a new department was born.
Fast forward to today, and we now have a large team of painters, managers, standard operations, quality control, and the ability to prepare units with cleaning, painting and punch from start to finish in just two days.
This picture is a reminder of how we can achieve anything when we put our hearts and willingness to learn into it, especially when we act with the sincere intention of helping others. Tears filled my eyes when I saw this picture, as only God knows how hard I've worked to shape this company into what it is today and how much I've learned in the past year.
The turning point came when I genuinely welcomed God into my life, and I can clearly see the difference it has made.
