Create Margin and Earn Freedom

July 07, 2025 • Ken Carfagno • Episode 494

In this episode, I share a short clip of a Public Service Announcement I made last November in the Solo Elite Membership. It’s a PSA for all struggling, overwhelmed solo cleaners. First, let me say a few things.

You are the one that overscheduled yourself by never saying ‘No’. Take ownership of that.

You are the one that priced as little as you did. Take ownership of that.

You are the one that didn’t know your numbers and acted without any strategy. Take ownership of that.

Great, you took ownership. It’s time to give you hope and show you how to optimize your solo company and earn freedom. This first message is about creating time margin first. That is vital.

No margin equals no choice. Margin means choices.

In the next episode, I’ll share another clip of the 3 steps to optimizing. Enjoy.
