I was awarded a charter school account which is worth $10,252.00 a month, with the opportunity to bid on more charter schools. I have also won a smaller account which is worth $525.00 a month. I want to say thank you to Jean and Steve for all the knowledge, and other cleaning business owners here who gave me advice and inspiration. I could not have done it with out you guys, and that's a 100 percent true Fact."
