How to Become an Expert in Your Market in Three Easy Steps
One of the most powerful threads that ties successful 1-10 employee business owners to their customer base is the fact that they are considered "experts" in their field. As experts, these businesses exude leadership qualities that naturally attract a base of loyal followers.
Unfortunately, this reality escapes many 1-10 employee Cleaning Business owners who are desperate for a profitable operation. They really feel that they don't have such specialized knowledge, or the right qualifications. They think they must possess some kind of a formal "degree" in order to attract such a base of loyal followers.

Some small business owners might go back to school for a formal degree, others attend seminars and workshops specific to their niche, while still others teach themselves, and earn the “Expert” title by study & application.
Both Albert Einstein and Earl Nightingale made us aware that if an individual dedicates just thirty minutes each day to studying a certain topic, they will become an expert on that topic within one year's time.
