How Steven Turned a Side Hustle Into a 15K/Month Cleaning Business

Steven came into the program while working a full-time nine-to-five, looking for a way to build an additional revenue stream that could eventually replace his job. After seeing one of our ads on social media, he resonated with the simplicity of the model and the fact that so much of the heavy lifting—tech stack, website, branding, and support—was already done for him. He sold all of his ATMs to invest in Build Remote. Joining the program felt like a no-brainer after meeting with our team, and from day one he showed up fully engaged, asking strong questions that positioned him for success.

The Power of Simple Systems: How Steven Scaled His Cleaning Business Fast

Within his first 30 days, Steven generated $1,700 in revenue, and by month three he hit $9,996.90—just shy of the 10K Challenge. In month four, he opened a second service area and brought in just under $15,000, officially crushing the challenge and expanding faster than he expected. Today, Steven spends only about four hours a week on the business while still working full-time, and he’s already hired a virtual assistant to help him scale as momentum continues to build.

Steven's Future Outlook

Looking ahead, Steven is focused on expanding even further now that he has a solid foundation in place with a reliable cleaning team and a dedicated virtual assistant. His goal over the next 30 days is to scale to a consistent $15,000–$20,000 per month, setting himself up to take on Build Remote’s official 30K Challenge next. As his business continues to gain momentum, Steven is also excited about the possibility of becoming a coach with the Build Remote team so he can pour back into the community and help other new entrepreneurs achieve the same level of success.
